Filtermist’s own brand of oil mist filters are well-known amongst UK manufacturers, but perhaps lesser so are the company’s additional capabilities, as managing director James Stansfield, explains: “At the last MACH show we focused on highlighting our ability to offer a full turnkey service for centralised extraction systems for a range of contaminants including smoke, fume and dust.
“We’ve taken huge strides since then, mainly by acquiring other companies, and we are now in a position to offer comprehensive, effective removal for almost any type of airborne contaminant. This includes solvents, odours, VOCs – basically anything that pollutes workshop air.”
Whilst Filtermist has exhibited at MACH for many years, 2018 will be the first time Multi Fan Systems and Dustcheck will have taken part in this particular show.
“Having Dustcheck and Multi Fan on board means we are able to target a wide range of new markets, but MACH is very much focused on Filtermist’s core market – engineering and manufacturing firms that use machine tools,” Mr Stansfield continues. “Both companies offer a range of products and services to this sector and people that ‘know’ Filtermist may be surprised to find out exactly what we now offer.
“We’re looking forward to showing customers how we can help them make sure their people are protected from a wide range of hazardous airborne substances.”
Whilst the 2018 stand is designed to highlight Filtermist’s wide-ranging capabilities, the ambitious company won’t be throwing the baby out with the bath water, as Stuart Plimmer, Filtermist’s director of sales testifies: “The UK oil mist filtration market is incredibly important for Filtermist. We recorded another record-breaking year in terms of sales last year and we’re confident that this trend will continue.
“As well as ensuring we’re the go-to supplier for any oil mist extraction related requirements, we’re also pushing our aftersales support extremely hard. We’ve employed six new engineers since the last MACH and will be recruiting at least another three this year. Our skilled engineers offer responsive and reactive maintenance throughout the whole of the UK, and we also provide CoSHH compliant LEV testing to ensure systems are extracting as intended.”
Multi Fan Systems
Multi Fan Systems designs and installs air movement and air pollution control systems for a range of customers including a number of well-known automotive manufacturers. The company, which was established in 2001, prides itself on developing long-term relationships with clients by adding value wherever possible.
Multi Fan director of sales Kevin Hood, elaborates: “We work on an ongoing basis with lots of our clients. They come to us with an initial specific requirement and then once we’ve shown what we are capable of and they realise the breadth of services we offer, they will then ask us to assist with other industrial air projects.”
Fume extraction, VOC abatement and ventilation and cooling, are just some of the services offered by Multi Fan (www.multifansystems.co.uk).
Dustcheck
Dustcheck designs and builds a range of dust filters to meet the needs of all aspects of the metal production and manufacturing industries – and all filters come with ATEX options, meaning volatile products can be handled safely.
Dustcheck director of sales Pete Dawson comments: “Dust can cause all manner of problems in the workplace and depending on the product being handled, can cause some significant health hazards for operators, COPD being one of them. Sometimes, the high value of the material being processed means that there can be a need to reclaim the filtered product. As well as protecting workers and dust reclamation – reducing housekeeping and preventing costly breakdowns can also be a consideration.
“2018 is a major milestone for Dustcheck as it celebrates its 40th anniversary in manufacturing and supplying effective dust control for manufacturers of all sizes. We’re looking forward to meeting MACH visitors to discuss their dust control needs.”
