Industries & processes

Here you will find a list of some industries in which extraction technology is an important part of quality assurance and occupational safety.
You will also find extraction recommendations for various machining processes that cause dust and emissions.

Additive manufacturing

Explosive metallic dusts from 3D laser printers

Construction sites and renovation

Robust devices for the toughest applications – even for asbestos

Building, stones, earth

Heavy continuous use with high dust class requirements

Electronics industry

Focus on ESD and electrical conductivity of the devices

Drainage

Water and dirt removal after flooding

Foundry

Toughest working environment for robust extraction systems

Power plants

EX-protected extraction in various zones

Laser work

EX-protected extraction in various zones

Dust & media

Abrasive dusts

Abrasive dusts (e.g. glass) have special requirements for filter technology

Asbestos dust

Vacuum cleaners tested in accordance with TRGS 519 are suitable for extracting carcinogenic asbestos dusts

EX protection for ATEX zones

EX-protected industrial vacuum cleaners for vacuuming explosive substances and dusts

Fine Dust

Depending on the fineness or hazardousness of the dust, filters of dust class M or H are required.

Coarse dirt

For coarse dirt and heavy materials, a high negative pressure is crucial for the extraction performance

Compressible fabrics

Compression vacuum cleaners compress the extracted material and thus increase the extraction volume

Metal shavings

Robust accessories and separation of swarf and liquids are necessary

Oily liquids

Appliances with oil-resistant accessories such as hoses, filters and seals are ideal

Fume & vapors

A large air volume is recommended for light fumes and vapors, as are storage filters

Water

A pump vacuum cleaner can be helpful for extracting large quantities of water
