Honeywell
Highly effective filter equipment
- with economics and working environment in
focus
To meet future demands on working environment,
flexibility and productivity in the engineering industry, Absolent
AB has developed effective filter equipment that is now sold
all over the world.
Absolent filters offer a high degree of separation,
long service intervals of up to several years, and can run continuously
24 hours a day, seven days a week with a minimum of maintenance.
The long life span of the filter enables customers to minimize
production down time and other costs, such as filter replacement.
Personnel, machines and premises are purified of problematic
oil smoke and oil mist. This is good both for the working environment
and from a financial point of view.
At the Cold Heading department of Honeywell in South Carolina, USA a lot of oil smoke
is generated. Oil smoke contains numerous minute particles which are difficult to trap.
Honeywell is one of the companies that has realized the advantages of Absolent unique
filter solutions.
Today Honeywell uses 3 Absolent ODR 3000 filter units installed on National Cold
Headers.
”-We have tried all kinds of oil-smoke filters before, including electrostatic, bag-type and
centrifugal filters, but none of them achieved as high performance regarding cleaning
efficiency and maintenance as Absolent”, says Mike Breece, Plant Engineer of
Honeywell, South Carolina, USA.
The polluted air is transported from the machine to the filter, where it is purified to a
degree of 99,99% separation size 0,3 µm particles. The air can then be led through a
heat exchanger or released back into the factory area. The first ODR 3000 was installed
in Nov 2001, the second in June 2002 and the third in Nov 2002.
