Plug & play filter tower’s premiere JUST in time for the FABTECH metal processing trade show, in Chicago, USA, ESTA is introducing its new Filtower line to the US market. an important contribution to protecting employees from harmful particles.

filtration efficiency, the Filtower series helps improve room air quality for those working in manufacturing areas. The layer ventilation principle allows recirculation of cooled or heated air into the production hall, with claimed energy savings of up to 70 per cent. The systems 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 are supplied without a pipe system, and their plug & play principle makes them ready to operate in a short time and allows flexible relocation. To minimise odours and contaminants at the same time, the filter towers can be equipped with optional active carbon inserts. At FABTECH, ESTA will also exhibit other energy-efficient technologies, such as the newly designed Dustomat 4 mobile dust extractor series for direct extraction at processing machines, for single or multiple workstations. Metal dust and shavings are collected and filtered, exceeding OSHA standards. Attaching extraction hoods, extraction arms or smaller pipe systems adds more flexibility to customers’ applications. The extractors feature a user-friendly control panel. The devices’ small dimensions, high extraction and filter performance and low operating noise allow the pre-wired and fully assembled Dustomat 4 extractors to be set up directly in the work area. Visitors to FABTECH (9-12 November) will find ESTA at booth C1515 in Hall C1.

The filter towers are specially designed for the use in the metal industry. They can be used where direct extraction is not feasible, such as when processing large work pieces that involve constant changes in work location. With almost 100 per cent
