Surely you would never consider putting an apple in your machine tool and then eating it. However, you are going to breathe in the air generated in metalworking operations every day – if no proper and effective air cleaning system is in place. Studies have shown that particles and aerosol < 2.5 µm cannot be eliminated from the lungs or bronchia. These substances settle into the lungs and can cause diseases over the long term.

Today, machine tools generate more and more and increasingly smaller aerosol particles. This is due to machine tools having increasingly higher cooling lubricant pressures, and cutting and processing speeds. The aerosols should not and may not be released into the environment or the production hall without being cleaned first.
