Nordfab Oil Mist System Components

Nearly all machining operations create oil mist, the aerosol formed when oil is used for cooling or lubricating during the machining of metal or plastic components. Proper ventilation is required to prevent oil mists from fouling equipment, products, and the working environment. Learn more

Nordfab offers QFS™ Sealed Duct to protect against leakage in ducting used in ventilation systems where oil mist and smoke are contaminants. The key components of the Nordfab® QFS system are: 

1) Leak-resistant seams on the ductwork:

- Laser welded pipe
- Caulked seams / joints on other components as needed. Nordfab has recently switched to a new more durable, marine grade sealant which offers improved UV exposure performance.

2 ) QFS Gaskets applied to the duct ends at the joints. Nordfab has re-designed the QFS Gasket so it is easier to install and does not require adhesives. Other benefits include a non-directional design, fewer sizes needed, and the same conductive material.

3) The QFS O-ring for the Quick-Fit® Sleeve which is used where variable lengths are needed

Oil Mist Recyclers and Drain Backs for Hose are additional QFS components which can be installed where needed.

*Due to variables beyond our control, Nordfab Ducting cannot guarantee a leak proof system in all installations, even when using caulk & “leak free” gaskets. Some of the variables that impact this include: the craftsmanship of the duct installation, the chemicals within the duct, and the expertise of the designer.
