A suitable solution

The Dustmaster DM1200

The DM1200 is an efficient low-vacuum system with a pressure range of 1 to 100 mbar. It is specifically designed for production environments with high dust loads, such as the animal feed industry.

The system is commonly used during mixing, dosing or transporting powders like flour, granulates or premixes.

Thanks to its continuous and powerful suction, the DM1200 prevents both airborne dust dispersion and dust accumulation on machines and floors – two key sources of contamination and health risks.

For applications where hygiene, cleanability and corrosion resistance are essential, the DM1200 is also available in a stainless steel (SS) version.
