AE160-250 Oil Smoke Filter

AE160-250 is a high-capacity filtration unit designed for large-scale industrial processes with heavy oil smoke and high particle loads. The multi-stage filter system progressively captures finer particles, culminating with a HEPA H13 filter that removes 99.95% of the airborne oil pollution. Catch & Release technology automatically drains oil to extend filter lifespan, while the adaptive fan control system optimizes airflow to lower energy costs. Efficient, reliable, and easy to service, AE160-250 keeps production running smoothly and ensures a safer workplace.
At the core of the unit is a tilted 4-stage filter bed that support efficient drainage, extended filter life, and optimised airflow. The innovative tilted design also increases the usable filter area while minimizing the footprint. By focusing on filtration density, the AE160-250 delivers high airflow in a compact format.

AE160-250 offers additional customization options to enhance efficiency and reliability, including:

  • Prefilters for sticky particles, optimizing filtration performance
  • Airflow measurement for precise system monitoring
  • Remote IoT monitoring to enable predictive maintenance, faster diagnostics, and lower maintenance costs

Built for continuous operation and available with IP55 protection, AE160-250 ensures safe, dependable performance whether installed indoors or outdoors.

AE160-250

AE160-250 is a high-performance oil smoke filtration unit designed for large machine installations. The unit is directly connected to the process machine via the air inlet at the bottom section of the filter unit. An external fan creates negative pressure in the machine enclosure, keeping oil smoke contained and pulling contaminated air into the filter unit rather than allowing it to leak into the workshop.

The fan system is controlled by EcoDrive™, which regulates the external AC fan via a variable frequency drive (VFD). EcoDrive™ continuously adjusts fan speed to match actual process conditions. This maintains stable system pressure and reduces energy consumption without compromising capture performance. The control setup supports post-run settings for optimised operation, multi-machine signal control for seamless integration, and optional vibration monitoring.

Inside AE160-250, the contaminated airflow passes through a tilted 4-stage filter bed where particles are progressively captured and separated. As liquid aerosols are collected, they coalesce and drain through Catch & Release®, routing the recovered liquid to the bottom of the unit. From there, the liquid can be returned to the process or collected in a separate container. The final stage is a HEPA H13 filter that removes 99.95% of airborne particles, ensuring the cleaned air leaving the unit is safe for recirculation.

AE160-250 uses conveniently sized filter cassettes designed for easy, tool-free handling. This keeps maintenance straightforward and downtime predictable.
