At MACH, AirBench will be exhibiting its downdraught bench, modular dust extraction booth system, central coolant mist extraction system and the machine-mount smoke and mist extraction unit on Stand 630 in Hall 20.
For machine tool applications, AirBench will demonstrate its AOF series of machine mounted smoke and mist extraction systems that support a single machine tool by extracting coolant mist and smoke. Utilising a long-life final filter and a unique wind-shear filtration mechanism to increase filter life, the self-contained coolant mist and oil smoke filter is suitable for most machine tools with extraction rates up to 2400m3/h. The multi-layer final filter captures fine particulates and depending on the application, two filter options are available with finer filtration available for oil smoke. The conical main filter coalesces large particles on impact and then uses the wind shear principle to separate finer mist with further separation in the internal mesh layers. The final filter in this system has a lifespan of up to 3600 hours, making it ideal for most machine shops.
Complementing the AOF at MACH will be the OMF central coolant mist extraction system. The OMF collects coolant mist from CNC machine tools and can be attached to single or multiple machines with up to 4000m3/h capacity. The OMF units are configured to connect to Jacob’s rigid clipped ducting for leak-free installations and ensure that the work area remains mist free, collecting particulate and providing the operator with visibility of the work area whilst preventing airborne mist from affecting the workshop
Alongside this will be the VertEx modular dust extraction booth system. The VertEx booths can be built from modular components to create dust extraction booths as large or as small as required. Assembly is quick and simple and reconfiguration is also a straightforward task. VertEx booths use VertEx VA dust extraction units to collect dust and VB booth components to form full enclosures. Dust extraction is an essential part of your COSHH compliance requirements and finding an effective and suitable solution can be a challenge. With the VertEx system, AirBench ensures that manufacturers meet their compliance requirements whilst providing a clean and safe working environment for employees.
For workstations where dust is commonplace, AirBench will also be demonstrating its range of downdraft benches. The air benches are high air volume, low-velocity extraction systems that provide a demonstrable working solution to a wide range of dust and fume problems. All products are built to order in the AirBench factory located in the East of England to short lead times. With a complete range of models that include the FX, FPW, BD, RP, FP, FPK and FN models, AirBench can provide solutions to specific problems using standard modular components and filter sets.
