What AR Filtrazioni does

AR Filtrazioni S.r.l., founded in 1995 and headquartered in Bergamo, Italy, designs and manufactures industrial air filtration and depuration systems for oil mists, fumes, and dust generated by CNC machine tools and adjacent metalworking operations. The company's product portfolio spans ten series (ARNO, ECO, ARIS, ART, AR 10000, ARF, ARPX, COALFILTER, GOLDFILTER, HYDROFILTER) plus Cabine di aspirazione workbenches, all built around a common multi-stage architecture combining self-cleaning centrifugal re-condensation, coalescence filtration, and HEPA H13 final filtration certified to 99.995% efficiency per EN 1822, with IE3 low-energy motors. Differentiated features include proprietary non-wearing centrifugal separators that recover up to 80% of lubricating coolant oil, specialized solutions for explosive (magnesium/aluminum) and precious-metal (gold/silver) dusts, and full EN 1822 / ISO 9001 / D.D.u.o. 12772 regulatory compliance.

Revenue is generated primarily through direct enterprise sales of capital equipment to end-user manufacturers, supplemented by OEM specification deals (notably DMG MORI's DMQP program, MCM, R.F. CELADA), channel partners across 37 sales points in 50 countries, and a recurring service, maintenance, and filter-replacement business on its 30,000+ global installed base. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year service contracts; an online ROI calculator supports lead generation. The company positions itself through regulatory compliance, OEM endorsement, three decades of operating history, and a documented environmental impact of ~225,000 tonnes CO2/year avoided across 25,000 installed units.
