Machining Fume & Smoke Removal Case Study

Smith Production LLC, a machine shop in Norwich, New York, was having an issue with machining fume, smoke, and particulate filling their shop air. They operate in a 5600 sq. ft. space where five CNC machines are continually running for 10-12 hours a day, cutting hot rolled and cold rolled steel. Welding and painting applications also take place daily.

Because Smith Production has various machines running simultaneously, there was a high volume of smoke and particulate filling the workspace. Smith Production wanted an efficient, cost-effective solution that isn't obstructive and involves minimal installation.

Like with Spring Creek Machine Shop, we provided four Blue Ox OX3500C industrial air cleaners with silencers. The units were installed above the shop floor and positioned to collect fumes, smoke, and particulate from all of the machines

After the OX3500C industrial air cleaners were installed, the machine operators noticed an immediate difference in the quality of air! Our air cleaning systems exhausted the fumes and smoke and dramatically reduced the amount of particulate in the air.

OX3500C Industrial Air Cleaners

Blue Ox OX3500C air cleaners feature a T-pattern airflow with inlets on both ends and exhausts in the center.

A dual set of micro-glass fiber disposable filters provides more filter area and allows these systems to operate with less static pressure. The lower airflow-to-filter ratio provides higher efficiency and longer filter life.

CFM: 3500
Airflow: T Pattern Airflow Unit
Filters Included:
• (2) 24" x 24" x 4" 35% Pleated Fiber Pre-Filter
