By equipping their machine tools with 3nine oil mist separators, Expander Systems was able to take control of the air quality in their workshop.
As part of keeping the air free from oil mist, Expander System has since 2014 chosen to invest in 3nine oil mist separators in the Swedish production facility. In addition to minimizing the Nord-Lock Group’s overall climate footprint, the Group continuously strives to ensure a healthy working environment for its employees.
3nine’s products are reliable, efficient and require very little maintenance.

To help customers gain better control over air quality in their production facilities, 3nine offers a structured approach that combines measurement, analysis, and improvement planning. A 3nine service technician visits the site to perform air quality measurements in selected areas, with the results compiled into a clear report. If the data reveals sources of air contamination, we work together with the customer to develop an action plan to resolve the issues, improve the working environment, and ensure long-term results.
In addition to our most recent purchase from 3nine, an oil mist eliminator Anna, we also chose the Clean air initiative service provided by 3nine and have had measurement issued in our premises. We did not immediately suspect that we had problems with the air quality but felt that we did not want to take any risks since it concerns the health of our staff. Therefore, it was a relief to know that the air quality in the workshop is good and that we now know for sure that Expander Systems offer a healthy work environment for our employees.
