When Festo aimed to elevate environmental standards at their Jinan plant, they invested in 3nine oil mist separators. Today, Festo enjoys a clean, safe, and healthy working environment.
In 2011, Festo management formed a project group tasked with developing and improving environmental standards at the Jinan plant. One of the major challenges was achieving ISO 14001 environmental certification and enhancing health and safety conditions for plant workers, due to the significant amount of oil mist generated by processing machines. Since oil mist poses risks to both people and the environment if not properly controlled, addressing this was a top priority. In October 2011, the project group connected with 3nine AB and decided to trial a 3nine BLUE LINE oil mist separator.
Significant improvement in air quality
Particle concentration measurements in the workshop air were taken before and after the installation of the 3nine unit. The test machine delivered outstanding air quality results, prompting Festo to invest in 17 BLUE LINE units. Within weeks, 3nine installed the first units and simultaneously trained Festo personnel to handle the remaining installations.
Thanks to 3nine’s oil mist separators, we are now working in a safe and healthy environment,
says Dr. Zhou Hong, General Manager at Festo Production Ltd. in Jinan.
After a few months, Festo decided to equip all machine tools in the plant with 3nine oil mist separators — a total investment of 66 BLUE LINE units. Today, the air quality on the Festo Production Ltd. shop floor is greatly improved.
