Contec® oil mist separators are equipped with a side channel blower that generates adjustable negative pressure in the oil systems. This prevents the leakage of oil mist from the bearings, shaft guide and crankshaft ventilation systems. As the filter elements have a long service life and an automatic oil recycling system, they require little maintenance.

The core of the Contec® oil mist separators are the glass fiber filter elements developed especially for these applications. The two-layer design with integrated reinforcement fibers optimizes the coalescence effect and ensure a constantly high level of oil separation. The degree of efficiency is 99,99% at a droplet size of 0.1 micron, which means that the exhaust air is far cleaner than that required by German TA regulations of clean air. For that reason Contec® oil mist separators have been awarded with the Environmental Technology Prize for 1990.

Due to their very compact design, Contec® oil mist separators are also easy to use under all difficult or restricted spatial conditions.
