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.
“The issue of removal of superfine particles in the air has perhaps been overlooked when it comes to general air filtering,” says Dimac Managing Director Paul Fowler. “But 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.” 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. “X-CYCLONE technology is a sustainable aircleaning concept thanks to the use of cleanable separators,” Fowler adds. “As 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. “Another 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.” 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.
