BUILT-IN KNOW-HOW

Innovative filter technology - with experience

LoTex® filter pads -

technology for lower energy consumption
DELBAG® Air Filtration has developed LoTex, a new type of filter material based on the
lotus effect. It is used primarily for separating liquid droplets from the air stream, as the
unique media treatment allows for a significantly reduced wettability. Water, oils, and
emulsions easily pearl off, instead of evaporating in the filter and resinifying there.
These characteristics mean that relatively large amounts of liquids can be separated
and effectively reused, if desired. A further benefit: since the pressure drops with
DELBAG® Air Filtration LoTex® filters are appreciably less than those experienced in
conventional demisters (droplet separators), power consumption for air filtration is cut LoTex filter pads
in half. The advantages are double: cost reduction and protection of the environment

FogTex - Large drainage effect with small pressure difference

The filter pads 1902 FogTex are high-quality fleece with a very low pressure difference.
They consist of a very open polyester fiber package with compression on the pure-air
side. Due to their unique open surface structure, the filter pads have a very efficient
drainage property that sustainably protects downstream filter media.

COOLING LUBRICANT MIST

Creating space for some security

A DECONTAMINATED ATMOSPHERE - OUR

CONTRIBUTION TO YOUR HEALTH

Air Eco2nomy means proven filter technology

based on many years of experience. So you
can always intervene with determination, as
your processes require, without endangering
your health.

When it comes to detecting cooling lubricant mist within

machine tools, you are looking at a very complex topic. Expert
advice is of great advantage here.

Take a look at a few factors and questions that may arise when dealing with this topic,
and that may help you to avoid possible separation errors. Incorrect or inadequate
filtering not only leads to a risk to the health of your employees, but can also result in
increased operating costs.

First of all, what does "cooling lubricant" actually mean? The mechanical abrasion of
workpieces generates a high degree of waste heat, which is why cooling lubricants are
used to bind the material erosion and for cooling. The misting of cooling lubricants
produces very fine, submicron aerosols in high concentrations. A filter system must

therefore be able to reliably eliminate these aerosols and remove the separated cooling
lubricant from the extract-air flow.

A first basic decision is whether to choose a decentralized or a central extraction solution

to process the exhaust air flow safely. However, both solutions have one thing in common
in their wide range of variants, namely recording within the machine tool.
Here a first principle applies: as much volume flow as necessary, but not as much as
possible!
There must always be a vacuum inside the machine tool, and this is sufficient if the air
flows from the outside to the inside at all openings and slits in the processing chamber.
An air velocity of 0.2 to 0.5 m/s should be planned here.

But there must also be a targeted air flow inside the machine tool, otherwise the cooling
lubricant aerosols cannot be detected correctly and the dangerous mist "gets stuck" in the
machine tool. Remember: If possible, the extraction point should be located in the ceiling
or wall area opposite the operating door. No coolant jet should go in the direction of the
extraction point and the extraction speed should be less than 4 m/s, otherwise unneces-
sary quantities of large aerosols are collected and sucked in.

Once the machining process is completed, an increased extraction volume flow must
detect the remainder of suspended aerosols in the machine tool so that no "mist" can
escape into the hall when the operating door is opened.

Approx. 50 mass percent of the aerosols detected are ≤ 1 µm, i.e. the selected separator
must take this into account. The right filter combinations ensure high droplet separation
and very rapid collection, in conjunction with the appropriate volume flow. By using
different pre-filters and main filters, the aerosol separator can be optimally adapted to the
respective application.

If the aerosols remain in the filter element, secondary evaporation occurs. Separated
aerosols must be able to drain off quickly. Another principle is therefore: Double filter
surface = four times the service life and half the pressure difference! Therefore, do not Separator schematic sketch
save on filter area.

When using a DELBAG MultiAir unit such as the MultiAir Eco as a decentralized solution,
you can be sure that all factors have been implemented as performance features in the
development of the unit. The polluted air is reliably cleaned so that it can even be driven
in recirculating-air mode. The system reliably prevents any danger of fire or explosion.

COMFORT CONTROL FOR THE DELBAG ® MULTIAIR ECO

99.9% pollutant separation – fully

automatically controlled
MechaTronic EC - the comfort control - it saves money and
everyone understands it

The MechaTronic EC always keeps the air flow at the optimum level. Not too
much, not too little. This in combination with a highly effective EC fan results
in minimum electric power consumption and optimum filter media service life.

• Selectable air flows

Up to 5 different, freely selectable air flows can be set depending on the
process. This guarantees high safety at minimized energy costs
• Simple display
The plain text display is easy to understand and can be shown graphically or
numerically
• Wide selection of languages Filter control MechTronic EC
The MechanTronic EC is available in 19 languages. This enables you to
operate the control system globally and easily.
• Potential-free contact
The floating contact to the machine tool ensures proper operating messages
between the MultiAir Eco and your plant.
• Versatile positioning
The MultTronic EC control system can be mounted directly on the unit or the
unit column. Integration into a central control system in the control station is
also possible.
