This is how oil mist extractors work for air filtration

The air polluted with aerosols is sucked in by a powerful extraction system. In the oil mist extractor, a series of different filters ensures that the air can be re-released as cleanly as possible. First, a pre-filter traps coarser dust particles so that the finer filters do not become clogged too quickly.

Various filters for oil mist extractors

HEPA-Filter: HEPA filter: After the coarse pre-filter, most oil mist extractors have a HEPA paper filter, which stands for ‘High Efficiency Particulate Air’ – a ‘highly efficient particulate filter’. These filters allow smaller particles to be filtered out of the air, including those smaller than 1 µm in diameter.

Centrifugal force: Some models have centrifuges that separate air and wet particles. The oil mist extractor spins the coarser particles with great force until they are completely separated from the air, allowing the separated oil to be reused. Efficient motors ensure that the centrifuge operates at a low power consumption.

Electrostatic filter: In an oil mist extractor with an electrostatic filter, the polluted air is ionised so that the charged particles adhere to the filter plates. Unlike centrifugal models, electrostatic filters are quieter because there is no vibration. The filter plates can be easily cleaned and reused, reducing costs and waste.
