In addition to its own stand at MACH next month (hall 6, stand 430), Filtermist centrifugal oil mist filters and Absolent static media filters will also be featuring on at least eight machine tool stands belonging to some of Filtermist’s key partners.

Divisional Sales Director, Craig Woodward, elaborates: “We work closely with many of the world’s leading machine tool manufacturers and their distributors to ensure end-users benefit from the best possible oil mist extraction for their specific requirements and, in the UK, stay compliant with COSHH regulations.

“MACH is a showcase for the latest innovations and best practice, and many machine tools at the show will include LEV mist extraction as this is the most widely recognised engineering control for protecting people from exposure to harmful airborne particles.

“The build up to the exhibition is always a busy time for us as our partners get their own machines show-ready, and this year is no exception. If anything, there is even more excitement around this time as it’s four years since the last MACH!”
