Royal Products make
centrifugal oil mist control systems called
the Royal FilterMist line of metal working
fluids and oil mist
eliminators. Royal Filter mist
eliminators are small centrifugal separators that mount
directly to your machine enclosure. Read Royal

Royal FilterMist Centrifugal Mist Separators
by James Lee, Industrial Designer
Efficiency - Oil mist from machine tools
produces particles 0.5 to 10 microns in size. Royal Filter
Mist removes 1.0 micron and larger coolant mist particles.
Fine mist, smoke and gases will pass through into your production
environment. To address fine mist and smoke particles, a
disposable media after filter is required. A Royal
HEPA filter can almost always be considered a necessary
accessory.
Vibration is a common problem for
centrifugal separators. Due to the mechanics of the high
speed, spinning centrifugal separation process, contamination
buildup commonly causes pads, seals, bearings, and other parts to
fail, which in turn causes the spinning drum to go out of balance,
vibrate or shake. The Royal mist eliminator
addresses the vibration problem by using neoprene mounts that are
intended to isolate vibration. In addition, you need to
follow a regular maintenance schedule for checking and replacing
parts. Here is a partial list for maintenance from the Royal FilterMist website.
...For safety purposes, it is necessary to
periodically inspect the Royal Filtermist units main components for wear or
damage, especially if loud noises or vibration is present. Additionally, we
recommend these simple maintenance procedures be carried out once a year:
- Inspect and replace the motor mounts and torque-limiting straps if
worn or damaged.
- Inspect and replace silencer if necessary.
- Remove drum and thoroughly clean. Inspect for any damage.
- Replace or clean drum pads. (Sometimes the pads can be cleaned with
soapy water. Remember, the pads are not filters so they dont have to be
perfectly white, but it is important that they are not packed with solid
buildup which could cause vibration and wear problems.)
- Replace lid seal.
- Check all other accessories for wear and damage, ie: ducting, flange
adapters, etc. Repair or replace as necessary.
- Check all mounting fixtures such as stands and suspension kits for
damage or signs of fatigue. Repair or replace as necessary.
Some aspects of this program may have to be carried out on a more
frequent basis, depending upon the application. Applications which typically
require more frequent maintenance are those in which very fine chips are
produced, such as cast iron machining and grinding... |
