One way to remove oil mist (greasy fume) generated in such plants as machine and parts factories is to employ a filtering method.
The use of this method has always required significant personnel expenses, labor, and time for the replacement of filters and maintenance.
We have developed Reciproll, which resolves these problems by utilizing an automatically aspirating oil mechanism to repeatedly regenerate the filters.

Reciproll

Structure of reciproll
Reciproll captures oil mist with the filter for a specified period of time.
Then at the time of regeneration, it begins winding the filter to aspirate the oil with the aspiration header.
When the end is reached, the filter is reversed.
By repeating the collection and regeneration process in this way, the equipment can maintain acceptable levels of pressure loss and collection efficiency for a long period of time.
The roll filter is made of highly oil-resistant nonwoven cloths, preventing wear and peeling during winding.
Figure 1 shows an example configuration of the Reciproll system. If the mist concentration in the target air is relatively high, a wire demister is installed as the primary treatment to remove large mist, then a secondary treatment is applied utilizing the whole system.
Figures 2, 3, and 4 show three types of example implementations.

The wire demister can also be built into Reciproll.

Figure 2. Tail-end treatment method
Can be used as a prefilter to reduce the frequency of maintenance when using a fault and trouble prone electric dust collector for treatment.
