Dust extraction for maximum safety and compliance with laws and regulations within Defence
At Defence, everything revolves around safety, reliability and control. To monitor these three pillars, the work environment must comply with strict guidelines, for people and equipment. If you are looking for a partner that understands that and translates that into smart solutions, Kiekens is in the right place. Kiekens supplies industrial dust extraction systems that comply with ATEX guidelines and military standards such as NATO safety standards. Our installations effectively capture harmful substances: from metal dust and chromium 6 to explosive particles, composite dust, plastic dust, wood dust and particulate matter (PM10/PM2.5). The result? A cleaner, safer workplace that demonstrably complies with laws and regulations.



How we help you achieve a clean environment

Defence requires customization with military precision
You want to tackle every location, situation and risk with customization. At the same time, all solutions must be compatible. Read: be cost-efficient, practical to use and tailored to the daily reality of the workplace. That is why Kiekens is developing one central dust extraction system in which all components — from high and low vacuum technology to vacuum units and pipe networks — work seamlessly together. And because this is a scalable system, we can easily respond to shrinkage, growth or changing regulations within Defence, without having to overhaul the entire system.
Flexibly deployable
Our dust extraction systems can be used in a wide range of applications: in metalworking workshops, at vehicle maintenance locations and in areas where hazardous substances such as chromium 6 are released. Thanks to mobile dust extractors, they can also be used at various locations. We also carry out the entire pipework in-house. In doing so, we offer Defence a one-stop shop approach that guarantees convenience, safety and future-proofing.
