The UK ’ s leading provider of LEV extraction systems took the opportunity to showcase some of its latest clean air innovations to the UK ’ s manufacturing industry following a fouryear hiatus caused by the pandemic .

Lydia Barber , Director of Group Marketing , commented : “ We wanted to display the wide range of solutions that we offer , including some of the products that we manufacture here in the UK and our comprehensive aftermarket services .

“ We spoke to lots of machine operatives who commented on the huge difference they experienced when their employer invested in oil mist extraction that works .”
Last week ’ s exhibition was the first time Filtermist has shown the Kerstar brand of industrial vacuum cleaners to UK manufacturers and the products shown were the subject of a huge amount of interest .
Visitors were particularly interested in the swarf and coolant vacuums as they are perfect for cleaning up excess swarf and coolant in and around CNC machines .
There was a clear focus on the ATEX and Type H rated units from companies that need to comply with DSEAR regulations and those that work with potentially hazardous dusts , including dusts found in additive manufacturing processes .
Finally , the Dustcheck brand was also on the 2022 MACH stand , as well as the aftermarket services the company offers throughout the UK , including servicing and maintenance , LEV testing , air monitoring , critical spares and consumables , and a brand-new 24-hour breakdown cover service .
“ We have worked with the UK ’ s manufacturing community for more than 50 years helping them to ensure the air in their production facilities is clean and safe to breathe ,” added Lydia .
“ It ’ s all about offering a complete turnkey service , which is designed to ensure our customers don ’ t need to think about COSHH compliance – we can look after all aspects of their internal air quality , meaning they can concentrate on production .
“ We are really excited by the conversations we had at MACH last week and we ’ re looking forward to following up in more detail over the coming weeks and months .”
She concluded : “ The energy levels and enthusiasm from both fellow exhibitors and show visitors was inspiring and we are very confident that the trajectory of the UK ’ s manufacturing industry will continue to increase following a challenging few years . We are proud to be part of , and to be able to support , this forward-thinking industry .”
