Losma S.p.A. unveils new filtration system for oil mist and smoke produced in metal working with coolant

Losma, leader in engineering and producing air and coolant filtration systems for machine tools, unveils Atlas MS – a new filtration group for cleaning the air from oil mist and smoke produced by metal working with coolants. Atlas MS is ideal for centralized applications or big machining centres, due to the high flow rate it is able to generate.

Atlas MS series is composed of 4 different modules, working with flow rates between 6.000 and 24.000 m3/h. Filtration process has four gradual steps:

First step – pre-filtration: polluted air enters in the wide settling chamber, allowing the separation of coarser particles, which fall into the collecting tank.

Second step: airflow crosses the drop and micro-drop multilayer separator utilizing principles of collision, interception and diffusion.

Third Step: the pre-filtered air crosses the G2 metallic filter. Due to the force of impact the pollutant particles separate, merge and thicken upon the filter falling towards the lower part.

Fourth step and post-filtration: fine filtration with high efficiency sets of microfiber cartridges, effective on pollutant particles with dimensions less than 1 micron. This last step of filtration grants an efficiency of 99%.

This product range is equipped with AUTOCLEAN feature, which is an automated system for cartridge cleaning. At regular times a motorized shutter closes one of the suction channels, allowing the filtering cartridge to dry off the oil collected. All other suction channels continue working regularly. In this way the lifetime of filters can be extended, multilayer separator and G2 metallic are also washable filters and can be re-used. Such a system is totally automated and managed by a PLC, an ideal feature for those production processes without stops.

Atlas MS can mount high or low pressure fans, thus being the best solution for centralized applications or machining centers, requiring high air flow rates with low prevalences (head). This filtration group can be applied in different fields: machine working with coolants, machining centers, lathes, grinding, gear cutting, thread cutting or milling machines, etc.

Air and coolant filtration systems of the Italian company will be displayed at Mazak Hall – B128a

Losma will showcase its solutions dedicated to safeguarding workshop environment at the ACMEE 2014 exhibition, taking place in Chennai from 19th – 23rd June 2014.

Operating for 40 years in air and coolant filtration market used in mechanical workings, Losma offers to machine tool manufacturers and end user a wide range of solutions and technologies, able to meet all market needs. From the know-how, Losma has reached during its long market experience, comes the company’s wide range of filtration systems, composed by two families:

Air Filters for oil mists: centrifugal, static or electrostatic filtration systems, able to catch gas particles with the dimensions of a drop up to micro-mists and smokes with a filtration efficiency of 99,95%. Air flows may vary from a few cube metres per single machine installations to thousands of cube metres for centralized systems.

Coolant filters for coolant and liquids: TNT, drum, gravity or high head liquid systems able to remove metallic and non-metallic particles, up to 1 micron. Capacities varies from a few litres per minute for single machine installation to hundreds of litres per minute for centralized systems.

Among Losma’s products for air filtration, GALILEO, a centrifugal aspirator for mist, vapour and smokes in workshops, characterized by high efficiency at the lowest electric consumption and fast and easy maintenance process, will be on display. Galileo combines the benefits of a new compact design with the dynamic and static filtration – this working process permits to convert to liquid state, the oil contained in the air, securing the maximum efficiency and allowing to send back oil into the machine tool for re-use, avoiding wastage. For coolant filtration there is MINI-MASTER, a high liquid head filters with TNT tissue treating flow rates ranging from 60 to 400 l/min of neat oil or emulsion, containing both metallic and non-metallic particles. Main features of this series are the compact form factor and the high filtration efficiency, whose degree can be varied by changing the type of filter fabric used; the filtration process is completely automatic.

LOSMA offers an extensive line of coolant filtration options to best meet the varying needs for aerospace manufacturing. From simple cloth filters for use with a small machine tool to sophisticated plant-wide coolant recovery systems, LOSMA ‘s machine tool coolant filtration systems clean and recover valuable cutting fluids; extend the life of expensive machines and tools; and improve overall part quality, saving shops millions of dollars every year.

LOSMA’s coolant filtration range comprises of nine product lines, DETEX, EXTRA, MASTER, DECOM, MAGNETO, ROTOMAG, SPRING, X26, and SUPERFILTER Series which can all be fitted with different stages and different filtration technologies: non-woven fabric, self-cleaning drum, high liquid head, and self-cleaning cartridges. Furthermore, LOSMA’s products are modular type and can be supplemented with refrigerators, oxygenators, shaving collectors, and mud compactor. To fully meet even the most demanding needs, LOSMA offers centralized and custom designed filtration systems.

LOSMA has been designing and building filtration systems for machine tools since 1974 and is certified to ISO 9001:2008. It is the only company to offer a truly comprehensive service to resolve all contamination problems in the industrial work place and it is the only one with consolidated know-how of both oil mist collection and liquid coolant filtration.
