The APEX series has been named Best of the Best in the Industrial category at the Design MasterPrize 2026, adding another prestigious international design award to its growing list of achievements.
3nine is proud to announce that its APEX series has received this distinguished recognition, celebrating the design and innovation behind our latest generation of oil mist separators.
The APEX series builds on more than 25 years of experience in separation technology. Combining our proven disc stack technology with a new product platform and contemporary industrial design, APEX represents an important step forward in the development of efficient and sustainable oil mist separation solutions.
The design is the result of a close collaboration between 3nine and Etteplan. The design team included Lars Rapp as Lead Designer, together with Jörgen Larsson from Etteplan and Fredrik Ekblom and Emanuel Holwaster from 3nine.
The Design MasterPrize is an international design competition celebrating outstanding design across a wide range of disciplines and industries. Being selected as Best of the Best in the Industrial category makes this recognition particularly special.
This award is a great acknowledgment of the work behind APEX and 3nine’s commitment to combining engineering expertise, functionality and design. We are proud to see the APEX series continue to gain recognition on the international stage.
