UK maker develops ASEAN opportunities at Metalex

The S Series features a number of technical developments, including a quick release keyless bushing system and a new silencer design, making servicing even easier than on earlier models. For the first time the whole range, including the smallest S200 model, will feature high efficiency after filters. The addition of after filters will help complete the most comprehensive line up of small centrifugal filters available on the market today. Filtermist Asia Pacific Pte is also the sole ASEAN distributor for Absolent, providing an unrivalled product range for ASEAN customers – covering almost all oil mist and oil smoke extraction applications from grinding and turning with normal and high pressure coolant systems, to die casting, heat treatment and cold heading. Filtermist Asia Pacific, Managing Director, Jim How, says, “Filtermist has had a presence in the ASEAN region for over 20 years and it is now one of our most important global markets. I have been based in Singapore since 2006, concentrating solely on supporting business in the ASEAN region. The new S series offers a number of benefits to clients, particularly to those requiring compact oil mist extraction units.” Metalex 2012 will provide an opportunity to showcase the full Filtermist and Absolent product ranges that benefit from an extensive after sales support service, through its network of worldwide distributors.  Filtermist International Managing Director, James Stansfield, says “Filtermist is continually looking at ways to develop its product range, both for the UK and export markets, to improve performance and bring additional benefits for our customers. The S Series is just one of a number of new, customer-driven products that we will be introducing over the next few months.”  Since being established in 1969, Filtermist has continually strived to develop its products and services to meet the changing needs of industry. The company, now part of the Swedish owned Absolent Group, draws on a wealth of experience and has a deserved reputation for delivering robust products that can last in excess of twenty years if properly maintained. Stansfield continues, “Effective oil mist extraction is a vital consideration for all factory owners, both in the UK, where we have strict H&S guidelines, and overseas. After-all, a healthy workforce is a productive workforce!”
