Oil-mist eliminators for oil-lubricated vacuum pumps
MV Oil Mist Eliminators (photo) remove harmful oil vapors from oil-lubricated vacuum pump exhaust streams to prevent them from being inhaled by workers and settling onto furniture, walls and instruments. Featuring microfiber-glass coalescing filter elements with 0.1-µm pore size that provide 99.9999% efficiency, several sizes for pumps from 5 to 300 ft3/min are offered. Ideally suited for laboratories, research facilities and production environments, MV Oil Mist Eliminators come in four models: VisiMist (clear housing) and Midi-Mist 4-in. dia., which use one filter; the Midi-Mist 8-in. dia., which has three filters; and Maxi-Mist 10, which has five. They can also be configured to recover or recirculate costly pump fluids. — Mass-Vac, Inc., Billerica, Mass.
