The Product
The OX3500C is an industrial air cleaner with a T-Style airflow pattern that draws air through dual side inlets and pushes filtered air through a center grill/fan for maximum workspace coverage.
Built for machine shops, it uses dual replaceable micro-glass fiber filters that increase total filter area and reduce static pressure.
- 3,500 CFM airflow
- 2 H.P. direct drive fan
- 2-year warranty on all parts (not filters)
The Challenge
Spring Creek Custom Machining runs a full-service shop machining plastics, steels, and nonferrous metals. The floor holds CNC machines, abrasive water jets, heat treatment, welding stations, black oxide processing, wire EDM, and many manual machines.
The Solution
Four OX3500C air cleaners with silencers were installed above the shop floor.
They were positioned to create a circular airflow pattern that filters the air around every machine across the full 12,000 sq. ft.
Key features
- T-Style airflow: draws from both ends for optimal circulation
- Dual filters: more filter area, lower static pressure
- Built-in silencers: quieter operation on the floor
- Circular airflow: covers all machines in the facility
The Results
A dramatic improvement in air quality across the whole facility.
Particulate Reduced
Airborne particles dropped dramatically throughout the shop.
Better Conditions
Shop conditions greatly improved, with no ductwork required.
Complaints Stopped
Worker complaints about air quality ceased.
We love our air cleaners! We use them in a machining environment, and they have been great for reducing the amount of black particles in the air.
Why Fume Xtractors?
From compact OX3000 units to heavy-duty OX7000 systems, our complete line of ambient air cleaners scales to manufacturing facilities of any size.
- Alternative to source capture: full-shop filtration without the cost of duct drops and central collectors
- Built for high-density shops: reliable where dozens of machines share tight quarters
- Handles heavy particulate: dual micro-glass fiber filters built for black process dust
- Energy savings: recirculating tempered air can cut heating and cooling costs compared to exhaust methods
