SAFETY

X-CYCLONE – Achieving a clean, healthy workspace Air cleaners are designed to clean air contaminated with oil, emulsion mists and fine particles emitted by machine tools.

ā€œThe issue of removal of superfine particles in the air has perhaps been overlooked when it comes to general air filtering,ā€ says Dimac Managing Director Paul Fowler. ā€œBut only highly efficient air cleaners such as Reven can remove a complete spectrum of pollutants such as mists and smoke, including of course superfine particles. Using a Reven air cleaner will ensure workers breathe fresh air and are protected from these particles. A Reven air cleaner provides a costefficient solution, putting an end to polluted workshops with greasedripping exhaust air ducts and oily steel beams and windows.ā€ Designed and produced in Germany, the compact floor-standing RJ Series is made of rust-proof, flame-retardant stainless steel. The fan impeller and the electric motor have a sustainable design that saves on energy costs compared to conventional air cleaners and

oil mist separators. The Reven X-CYCLONE system is entirely mechanical with no auxiliary energy required, and contains no disposable products or filters that need to be replaced. The X-CYCLONE’s metal profile provides reliable ejection of mist particles due to multiple deflections of the airflow. The latest version’s new arrow geometry provides a further 20% increase in separating efficiency. The X-CYCLONE is self-cleaning – oil is not collected but flows off the polished blades into the collection channel. ā€œX-CYCLONE technology is a sustainable aircleaning concept thanks to the use of cleanable separators,ā€ Fowler adds. ā€œAs a result, operating and maintenance costs are considerably lower than conventional air cleaners that require filters to be cleaned or replaced on a regular basis. Simply wash it down once a year and the X-CYCLONE system will happily and quietly keep your workspace free of dust, mist, superfine particles and water-based aerosol. ā€œAnother benefit of Reven air cleaners relates to their flame-arresting capacity compared to traditional air cleaners that use filters. Filters involve a considerably higher risk of fire and must be washed out or replaced at regular intervals. Reven air cleaners drain the oil off into a collection channel over their polished surfaces and are self cleaning.ā€ www.dimac.com.au

However, many air cleaners cannot extract the invisible, superfine particles that constitute the greatest health threat: mist particles with a diameter below 3-5μm. These particles can get into the lungs and then the blood, potentially causing health issues. Available from Dimac Tooling, Reven air cleaners feature Reven’s patented X-CYCLONE separating system, developed for separation of air-borne substances including fluid and superfine particles. X-CYCLONE air cleaners attain a separation efficiency of 98% with critical particle sizes below 3-5 μm.
