Industrial dust extraction in metalworking
Why dust control in the metal industry is crucial
Metal processing is all about precision and safety. At the same time, a lot of particulate matter is generated during processes such as grinding, welding or casting. Sometimes explosive, often harmful. Without good extraction, people, machines and production run unnecessary risks.
Kiekens helps you tackle the most important risks in the workplace:
- Risk of explosion. Aluminum dust and magnesium dust are flammable and can be explosive. With ATEX solutions, you ensure the safety of your employees.
- Health complaints. Particulate matter of chromium-6, nickel and lead are harmful if inhaled. We help you to structurally limit exposure to these substances.
- Inefficient heat and energy management. Excessive heat comes at the expense of comfort, while heat loss increases energy consumption unnecessarily. We ensure balance. Good for the climate and for your energy bill.
How we help you achieve a clean environment
Customized solutions for dust extraction in the metal industry
You want something that fits. A system that seamlessly connects to your processes and the types of metal dust that are released. Then you're in the right place. This is because we fully tailor our central dust extraction systems to your situation: to your production lines, to the size of your dust issue and to the type of dust, such as aluminum, magnesium, chromium-6 or nickel.
We also design and install an integrated system including piping. In doing so, we immediately take into account any future adjustments or an extension. Thanks to this scalability and the option for heat recovery, you are assured of a safe, energy-efficient and future-proof solution.
The Dustmaster DM10,000
We designed the very powerful DM10,000 specifically for tough conditions. It is therefore ideally suited for metalworking environments. For example, it can handle large volumes of particulate matter that are released during grinding, welding, sawing and milling. And thanks to its ATEX-certified design, the DM10,000 can also be used with explosive substances such as aluminum and magnesium. All of this makes this powerhouse the ideal choice for companies that focus on safety, continuity and scalability.
