In addition to its own products, Filtermist also provides high-performance HEPA-rated oil mist extraction units from Absolent AB. These units can be installed on individual machines or integrated into a central system to manage air quality across multiple machines. The versatility of these systems allows for tailored solutions to meet specific operational needs.

Filtermist’s products are integral to the supply chains of many Tier 1 aerospace companies, providing clean air solutions that are critical to maintaining productivity and safety standards. By addressing oil mist challenges effectively, Filtermist supports manufacturers in reducing downtime and enhancing the lifespan of their equipment.

With a commitment to improving industrial air quality, Filtermist continues to lead in the development of effective extraction solutions, reinforcing its reputation as a trusted provider in the global market.
