Extraction technology consulting: Analysis, planning and implementation from a single source

Professional extraction technology consulting is the foundation for clean air, effective air pollution control, health protection, and economical production. Especially in industry, the right extraction system determines whether dust, aerosols, and pollutants are reliably captured and removed. KAWEHA supports companies with analysis, planning, development, construction, installation, and commissioning of extraction systems – reliably and Made in Germany. Our goal is always to find the optimal solution for you and your individual requirements.

Extraction technology – the basis for air quality, safety and cost-effectiveness

Extraction technology encompasses all technical systems used to capture, extract, and safely dispose of dust, particles, grinding dust, solids, liquids, aerosols, odors, and other pollutants directly at their source. This includes, for example, individual devices, complete extraction systems, dust collectors, industrial vacuum cleaners, and central extraction systems.

• industrial vacuum cleaner

Mobile devices for vacuuming materials, dust, and liquids. Operates with high negative pressure and low air volume. Ideally suited for small work areas and mobile use.

• Dust extractor

Stationary filter systems that move large volumes of air at low negative pressure. They are usually large and permanently installed, and often feature special filter systems such as HEPA filters or wet filters.

• Central extraction system

Complete systems that simultaneously extract dust from multiple machines and workstations via piping. They consist of a central suction unit with modular connections that can be expanded as needed.

All these solutions have one common goal: They create clean indoor air and thus a healthy and legally compliant working environment.

Typical applications

Modern extraction solutions have become an integral part of industrial production processes – from the metal industry and plastics processing to mechanical engineering, the food industry, and many other sectors. Wherever milling, grinding, sawing, welding, mixing, or bottling takes place, these intelligent extraction systems create a safe working environment.

A functioning extraction system always consists of several components:

• Detection elements at the workplace or on the machine
• Piping and air ducting
• Filter systems or dust collectors
• Fans and air handling components
• Optional heat recovery to reduce energy costs

The interplay of extraction capacity, air volume flow, airflow, design, and footprint is crucial. Only when these factors are perfectly suited to the specific application will the system operate reliably and economically – and to ensure this, KAWEHA offers personalized extraction technology consultations to help you find the system that best fits your production needs. Without compromise.

Planning – From analysis to design of the extraction system

Analysis and fundamentals of planning

Every consultation begins with a detailed analysis of your operating conditions: What substances are generated? How much air needs to be captured? What is the required air volume flow rate? And where are the workplaces and machines located?

KAWEHA's experts are recording the following on site:

• The type and quantity of substances to be detected
• The necessary extraction capacity and airflow
• The existing spatial conditions such as hall height, storage areas, transport routes and disposal options
• The existing ventilation system

The result is a clear picture of the situation at the site – and that is the basis for finding the right extraction solution for you.

Design and construction

The analysis is followed by the design of the extraction system. This involves deciding whether a central system with ductwork for multiple workstations or a decentralized solution with individual dust collectors or industrial vacuums is more suitable. Industry, production volumes, operating hours, and processes are all factored into the decision, as are your individual requirements and future plans.

During the design process, all relevant components are specifically combined:

• suitable filter systems and dust collectors
• Detection elements and piping systems
• suitable fans and ventilators
• Heat recovery is available on request to reduce energy consumption and operating costs.

Our aim is to install a system with high efficiency, optimized energy consumption, low operating costs, and long-lasting quality. This results in an extraction solution that is technically impressive and also makes long-term economic sense.

Consulting – A holistic approach from the initial question to commissioning

KAWEHA's extraction technology consulting doesn't begin at the desk, but at your facility. Consultants and planners visit your site to closely examine your specific conditions and speak with your employees – after all, they are familiar with your daily processes. This allows risks, challenges, and operating conditions to be quickly identified. The result is a customized offer that, in addition to the extraction system itself, can also include assembly, installation, and commissioning. Throughout the entire project – from planning to handover – you remain fully comprehensible and transparent at all times. Because we are honest with you.

Expertise, industry knowledge and reliable technology – the foundation of KAWEHA extraction technology

KAWEHA sees itself as a partner on equal footing. That's why our experienced consultants, planners, technicians, and installers contribute not only their technical expertise and knowledge but also extensive practical experience from other projects and industries. Naturally, we consistently adhere to all relevant standards and regulations, from occupational safety and accident prevention regulations to ATEX directives, should explosive dusts or hazardous substances be involved. This ensures that your extraction systems are legally compliant and provide the best possible protection for your employees at all times.

Industries and use cases

With our extraction systems, we have extensive experience in a wide variety of industrial sectors: metalworking, plastics processing, food processing, wood and furniture manufacturing, mechanical engineering, and many other industries. We understand that each sector has specific requirements for extraction and filtration technology, and we provide them.

Examples of typical applications:

• Grinding dust, metal and plastic chips in machining
• Welding fumes and aerosols during joining and cutting
• Oil-containing aerosols and emulsions on machine tools
• Fine particles, solids or sticky substances in food or chemical production

In all these applications, extraction technology is not a "nice to have", but a must-have – and it is part of a completely safe production process.

Technical know-how and innovations

To achieve lasting success, a system developed once is not enough. KAWEHA therefore relies on state-of-the-art and efficient filter technology, optimized fans, intelligent controls, and modern airflow systems. Our experts continuously monitor new developments and innovations and integrate them into new products and projects. The result is systems that simultaneously improve the working environment and safety, while also keeping sustainability, energy consumption, and cost-effectiveness in mind.

• stationary dust extractors and filter systems
• Central extraction systems with heat recovery and intelligent control

This way we can find the right solution for every application and every industry.

Safety, standards and guidelines

High air quality and clean indoor air are not just a matter of comfort, but above all a matter of safety. KAWEHA therefore places great importance on compliance with all relevant safety standards, norms, and guidelines. With consistent air handling measures and tested components, we reduce risks and

• protect people from exposure to dust, aerosols and pollutants,
• protect machines and equipment from contamination and failure
• and minimize fire and explosion risks through controlled extraction and suitable filter technology.

For a completely safe and legally compliant extraction system.
