Dust extraction for logistics

Dust clouds during unloading, explosion risk at silos, fine dust that shouldn't leave your site: in storage and handling, dust is rarely a local issue. Kiekens' industrial extraction technology keeps your operation safe and clean.
Dust extraction in logistics

One total partner for dust control across the entire logistics chain

In storage and handling environments, dust is rarely a localised issue: dust clouds during unloading, silo leaks or fine particles spreading across your site. It affects safety, health and operational efficiency. Especially with bulk goods such as grain, fertiliser or powders, the risk of explosion (ATEX) is always present.

Kiekens delivers dust extraction systems that support your processes instead of disrupting them. From smart source extraction at unloading points to central filtration systems for entire handling lines: our solutions are built for continuous use, easy to integrate, and compliant with the highest standards.

Our solution
Explosion hazards in dry bulk handling
ATEX-certified extraction systems with the appropriate zone classification (zone 20, 21, or 22) for bulk goods such as grain, fertilizer, and powders.
Employee exposure to dust
Effective source extraction keeps exposure levels well below legal limits, ensuring a healthier work environment on the shop floor.
Demonstrating ATEX compliance during inspections
One complete package, from zoning to transparent reporting, ensuring you have everything in order for every inspection.
Dust dispersion beyond your site
Source extraction at discharge points and central filtration systems limit emissions into the outside air, preventing environmental complaints and fines.
Insufficient visibility of dust source
Kiekens always starts with a free baseline measurement to map out the dust source.
High energy costs due to continuous use
Energy-efficient motors and smart engineering structurally reduce consumption, with optional heat recovery.
Downtime due to dust accumulation during continuous transshipment
Modular, scalable systems designed for continuous use, featuring low maintenance requirements and quick-change filters.
Expanding your transshipment capacity
Modular system design allows for expansion without major renovations or operational downtime.

Customisation for every logistics chain

At storage and handling sites we often deploy systems from the DM1200, VACmaster, DM4000 or DM20.000 series. These units are ideally suited for extracting dust at silos, loading facilities, conveyor belts and transfer points. They are designed for continuous use, even under heavy conditions, and integrate seamlessly into existing processes. Thanks to their modular design they are scalable: from a single extraction point to a complete central system, available with ATEX certification and compressed air-based filter cleaning. We install the connecting pipework ourselves.

Dustmaster 4000

The Dustmaster 4.000

The Dustmaster 4.000 is a compact bag filter with mechanical cleaning, deployable at the source or as part of a central system. We regularly use it at storage and handling sites because it scales easily: from a single extraction point to a complete network. With optional HEPA filtration you keep fine dust out of the air, and the ATEX version makes it suitable for environments where explosion risk is present. Working with larger volumes? Then we look at the DM20.000.

Case
De Bentoniet Fabriek
Those who are involved in making long horizontal drilling tunnels cannot ignore bentonite. Bentonite is a natural type of clay with such fine particles that it makes the soil waterproof. Handy, because this prevents the trench or tunnel from collapsing immediately after digging. In addition, bentonite ensures that everything a drill encounters underground in material is transported to the exit. However, bentonite is a dusty product. Its production and processing envelops a factory in a mist of dust within three minutes without adequate extraction. That is why De Bentoniet Fabriek in Bodegraven uses Kiekens' dust extraction system. “Only when Kiekens works can we work.”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
0
Is the system suitable for ATEX zones in bulk handling?

Yes. Our extraction systems are ATEX-certified. Together with you, we determine the correct zone classification (zone 20, 21 or 22) and deliver the accompanying explosion safety documentation.

0
Can the system be installed without stopping our handling operations?

Yes. Our systems are designed to integrate easily into existing processes. We align the installation with your schedule, so the impact on your operation stays minimal.

0
Can the system grow as our site expands?

Yes. Our systems are built modularly, from a single extraction point at a loading dock to a complete central system. It scales along with your volumes.

0
How much maintenance does the system require?

That depends on your process and intensity of use. With a maintenance contract (SLA) we monitor this for you and step in before it becomes a problem.

0
Which Dustmaster model suits our situation?

That depends on your volumes. For large-scale bulk handling with high dust volumes, such as silos and loading facilities, we often look at the DM20.000. For smaller-scale handling, the DM1200, VACmaster or DM4000 may be a better fit. We determine this together during the baseline measurement.
