The Product
The OX3500C is an ambient air cleaner with a T-Style airflow pattern that pulls air through dual side inlets and pushes it through a center grill/fan for maximum coverage.
Built for machining applications, it uses dual micro-glass fiber disposable filters that provide greater filter area and reduced static pressure.
- 3,500 CFM airflow
- 2 H.P. direct drive fan
- 2-year warranty on all parts (not filters)
The Challenge
Smith Productions runs a busy 5,600 sq. ft. machine shop with five CNC machines cutting hot rolled and cold rolled steel 10-12 hours a day. Daily welding and painting add to the airborne contaminants.
With so many machines running at once, fog and particulate were filling the workspace, hurting air quality and visibility for the team. They needed a solution that was:
- Efficient at removing fog and particulate
- Cost-effective
- Easy to install with minimal disruption
The Solution
After consulting with Fume Xtractors, Smith Productions selected Blue Ox OX3500C air filtration systems.
Four OX3500C units, equipped with silencers, were strategically installed above the shop floor and positioned to cover every machine in the facility.
Why the OX3500C was the right choice
- T-Style airflow: pulls from both sides, ideal for machine shops
- 3,500 CFM: airflow capacity per unit
- Dual filters: more filter area, lower static pressure
- Built-in silencers: quieter operation on the floor
The Results
The impact was immediate and dramatic: cleaner air, better visibility, and a healthier work environment.
Fog Eliminated
Fog was completely removed from the workspace.
Particulate Reduced
Airborne particulate was greatly reduced throughout the shop.
