Industrial extraction technology protects employees from pollutants such as dust, fumes, aerosols, and oil mist, while simultaneously extending the lifespan of buildings, machinery, electrical equipment, and products. Since 1991, Kaweha has been providing its customers with top-quality industrial extraction and air filtration technology. We help you clean the air in your work environment.

Industrial extraction technology – definition

Industrial vacuum cleaners, or industrial extraction and filtration systems, are designed to capture and separate dust, aerosols, and gases directly at their source in industrial processes to improve air quality and minimize health risks. Extraction technology is used in various industrial sectors. For example, oil mist separators in the metalworking industry contribute to improved air quality by extracting pollutants such as oil mist and particles.

Furthermore, they reduce the risk of fire and explosion in areas with high dust levels. Extraction technology is also used in laboratories, when needed, to remove hazardous gases and vapors, thus protecting the health of employees. From point extraction to complex extraction systems with state-of-the-art filter technology, Kaweha offers customized solutions for clean air in the workplace.

Advantages of extraction systems in industry

Extraction systems are particularly important in production facilities where pollutants and particles must be removed from the air. These systems are designed to effectively extract pollutants such as dust, fumes, aerosols, vapors, and fine particles that can be generated during various industrial processes. They thus contribute to a healthy and safe working environment. Professional extraction technology has been proven to reduce the risk of respiratory illnesses and other health problems among employees. It also prevents dust from accumulating on machinery, electrical equipment, and surfaces, significantly improving workplace cleanliness and positively impacting the lifespan of the machines and the overall work environment.

Another important advantage is the reduction of explosion hazards that can be caused by combustible dusts – because by effectively removing these dusts, extraction systems contribute significantly to workplace safety.

Industrial extraction systems – these are the types available

High-performance extraction systems efficiently capture and remove dust particles and other pollutants, both at the source and during emission. These systems are essential for clean and safe working environments. There are various types of extraction systems, differing in their function and filter technology. These include, among others:

Extraction technology for dusts and solids

Dust extraction systems of dust classes M or H for dusts and solids are essential in many different industrial processes. Whether dust, fine dust, wood dust, mineral dust, or explosive dust – these systems reliably remove emissions of all kinds from the air and protect the health of employees. At Kaweha, you will find high-performance, ATEX-certified dust extractors for the safe handling of combustible and explosive dusts.

Oil mist separator for oil and emulsion mist (aerosols)

Oil mist and emulsion mist are generated in industrial settings, for example, during the turning or milling of workpieces. If this mist spreads throughout a room, it can lead to serious long-term health problems. Oil mist separators filter these emulsions and oil mist locally from the room air, ensuring safe separation from the breathable air.

Extraction technology for gases

Industrial processes often generate gaseous air pollutants such as toxic gases or vapors. It is essential to filter these from the ambient air. Activated carbon filter systems like the AKPF (stationary) ensure maximum health protection by reliably filtering harmful airborne particles, protecting employees, and reducing environmental impact.

Industrial dust extraction systems: Maximum efficiency and safety

Our industrial dust collection systems are specifically designed to capture and separate pollutants such as dust, fumes, aerosols, and particles directly at their source. Featuring high-performance, ATEX-certified components, they also provide a reliable solution for the safe handling of flammable and explosive substances.

Industrial extraction systems Areas of application

Industrial extraction systems are essential in many industrial sectors, wherever flammable and hazardous dusts, oil mist, aerosols, or gases are present. This is the case in the following areas, among others:

  • Composite material production
  • Seed industry
  • food industry
  • chemical industry
  • Metalworking
  • CNC machining
  • automotive industry

Extraction technology ensures a safe working environment in these industrial sectors by removing dust and particles from various production processes. It is important to select the extraction technology appropriate for the industry. For example, there are specialized extraction systems designed to efficiently minimize fine dust and fumes, as well as centralized extraction systems for large production halls and workshops. These systems utilize powerful extraction arms that can be flexibly positioned to filter pollutants such as welding fumes and grinding dust from the air.

Efficient extraction solutions in mechanical engineering

In mechanical engineering, a variety of machines are used, often requiring high-performance dust extraction. Dust filter systems are an efficient solution here, as they reliably and cleanly separate the dust. This contributes to a clean and safe working environment and protects both the machines and the health of all employees.

Industrial dust extraction: Efficient dust removal

Our industrial dust extraction systems stand for maximum functionality and are specifically designed to capture pollutants such as dust and fumes directly at their source. Featuring high-performance, ATEX-certified components, they provide a reliable solution for the safe handling of even flammable and explosive substances. Our dust extraction systems impress with numerous technical highlights for efficient air purification and a safe working environment. Equipped with high-quality filters, they guarantee the effective removal of fine dust and particles.
