Plug & Play Filter Tower to Premiere at FABTECH



The FILTOWER series is for spatial ventilation of welding fumes, dust and oil mist.

Just in time for FABTECH, in Chicago, November 9-12, 2015, ESTA is introducing its new FILTOWER line to the US market. The German manufacturer of extraction technology presents an innovative workplace ventilation system, which is suitable not only for welding fumes, but also for fine dust and oil mist. "It makes an important contribution to protecting employees effectively from harmful particles. Energy savings up to 70% can be achieved by returning cooled or heated air into the work area. In booth C-1515, the extraction technology specialist, located in Charlotte (NC), will also exhibit other energy-efficient technologies, such as the newly designed DUSTOMAT 4 mobile dust extractor series," said a company spokesperson.

ESTA's new FILTOWER is suitable for supplementary workplace ventilation both for welding fumes and for fine dust or oil mist. The filter towers are specially designed for the use in the metal industry. They can be used anywhere direct extraction is not feasible, such as when processing large work pieces that involve constant changes in work location. "With almost 100 percent filtration efficiency, the FILTOWER series helps significantly to improve room air quality for those working in manufacturing areas, thus contributing significantly to health protection," said a company spokesperson. Due to the layer ventilation principle, which allows recirculation of cooled or heated air into the production hall, the filter towers can save up to 70 percent in energy costs per year. Moreover, the systems help ensure a clean work environment, less waste and longer machine operating times, for better productivity overall. They are available with three output levels, with extraction volumes of 5,800 cfm, 8,800 cfm and 11,800 cfm. All models are equipped with high-efficiency electric motors. In the standard version, the systems have two separately switchable motors that allow the operator to regulate extraction performance as needed. Additionally, all systems can be delivered with frequency converters for optional motor activation. The systems come without a pipe system, and their plug & play principle makes them ready to operate in no time and allows a flexible relocation. To minimize odors and contaminants at the same time, the filter towers can be equipped with optional active carbon inserts for effective filtration of odors and pollutants from the air.

Another trade show highlight for the professional public will be ESTA's newly designed DUSTOMAT 4 line of dust extractors. Usable for direct extraction at processing machines, for single or multiple workstations, metal dust and shavings are collected and filtered, exceeding OSHA standards. Attaching either extraction hoods, extraction arms or smaller pipe systems add even more flexibility to customer's applications. The extractors come with user-friendly control panel. Due to the devices' small dimensions, high extraction and filter performance and low operating noise, the pre-wired and fully assembled DUSTOMAT 4 extractors can be set up directly in the work area.
