Water-based cutting fluids are widely used in machine shops. The cutting fluid is sprayed under high pressure onto the workpiece and tool.
During machining, cutting fluids are subjected to dynamic forces as well as high pressure and temperature. This results in the formation of cutting fluid mist and vapour. In addition to water, the fluids contain many chemicals which are needed for lubrication and corrosion protection, for example. The chemicals are carried in the mist and vapour into the breathing air.
As machining speeds and material removal rates have increased, tools and workpieces have become hotter. As a result, aerosol formation has increased as well.
AerOff cleans both particles and gaseous contaminants from the exhaust air of machine tools.
