Description
The SmogHog® Advantage
SmogHog is the most recognized and trusted name for effective removal of mist and smoke within the metalworking industry. Our mist collection technologies have been cleaning the air and recycling machine fluids for companies around the world for over half a century. The SmogHog SHM is a self-contained mist collector that can be mounted directly on a machining center or mounted remotely connecting a single or multiple machines with ducting.
- Filter Technology and Performance. The SmogHog SHM features proprietary, state of art coalescing filter media technology in a 100% fully synthetic blend of fibers
built into a tubular filter arrangement that optimizes drainage. This technology provides best in class removal efficiency and long filter life. - Flexible Configurations. Each SHM mist collector is engineered to your specific requirements. From filter media selection to the orientation of the inlet, the flexibility saves time and money during installation while providing optimal performance in your plant.
- Technical Expertise. SmogHog mist collection products have been protecting facilities from metal working fluids for over 50 years. Our application engineers and technical
experts are ready to solve your unique application needs. - Easy Service and Maintenance. The SHM was designed with service and reliable operation in mind. Tool-free filter change and simplified filter removal are just a few features that will save you time and money associated with maintenance and operation.
The Right Solution
Different processes and fluids create a variety of contaminates and challenges. It is imperative that the right technology is applied to achieve a solution that is both effective and efficient. The SmogHog portfolio includes both coalescing media filtration and electrostatic precipitator (ESP) technology. Our application engineers will ensure you receive the solution that is right for your application. We don’t force fit customers to our products, we let the plant objectives and application needs drive us to the right solution.
SHM Product Features and Operation
The Latest in Technology
Machine Control Technology
A bright, vivid interactive touch screen controller makes our mist collectors easier than ever to operate and monitor, while reducing maintenance time.
- Monitors filter pressure drop for the primary and after-filters while alerting when filter change is required
- Provides external communication options for integration into remote alarms, PLCs, Building Management Systems (BMS) and more
- NEMA 4X / IP65 rated providing the durability and reliability needed in harsh manufacturing environments
Flow Control Technology
Easily adjust airflow to optimize system performance without use of mechanical dampers or complex and expensive variable frequency drives (VFD). It is critical to control air volume in mist collection applications because insufficient air volume leads to fugitive mist escaping the machining center or collection hood, and pulling too much air increases the contaminant loading potentially shortening filter life.
• Rather than operating at full RPM at all times, you can adjust the fan to operate only when required, lower speed means significant energy savings over mechanical dampers, plus there will be less noise
Optional Auto Flow
Air volume is measured and the fan automatically adjusts to maintain a specified target as process or filter pressure drop changes
Microglass Filter
A high capacity, final filter specially formulated to capture oil mist. This filter minimizes operating pressure loss with extended filter life. No other product holds as much oil or will last as long.
- Minimum 95% efficient on 0.3 micron particles
- Lower energy consumption resulting from high air volume capacity which minimizes operating pressure loss
- Does not contain traditional media binders used on commodity HEPA filters which often break down when exposed to oils and fluids
- Polyurethane sealant around frame to prevent leakage or bypass when heavily loaded
SHM Product Configuration
Designed with Flexibility for Your Application
The units can be configured to meet a wide range of application needs. The unit is easily mounted in various locations, aligning the filter technology with the specific application requirements.
