Wet separator
The Kiekens wet separator has been specially developed for industrial applications that release metal dust, such as grinding, brushing and polishing. Thanks to its unique water technology, the wet separator can safely bind more than 98.7% of the extracted particles, even the smallest fraction from 15 microns, in water.
In industrial environments where dust extraction is required in combination with sparks or combustible substances, it is crucial to have effective and reliable air purification methods. A wet scrubber provides an excellent solution for this.
The Kiekens wet separator has been specifically developed for applications where metal dust is generated, such as grinding, brushing and polishing processes. Its unique water technology safely captures more than 98.7% of extracted particles, including the finest fractions starting from 15 microns, by binding them in water.
This process effectively extinguishes sparks and significantly reduces the risk of ignition sources.

Shaped by our
unique approach
The Kiekens wet scrubber is designed for applications where metal dust and sparks are released, such as grinding, brushing, and polishing.
During the baseline assessment, Kiekens assesses the type of dust, spark formation, and process risks. This determines whether wet separation fits within the overall dust management approach.
The wet scrubber uses water to bind dust particles directly from the airflow. At the same time, sparks are extinguished, making the system particularly suitable for applications where metal dust and spark formation occur together. The wet scrubber binds more than 98.7% of the extracted dust particles, including particles from 15 microns upward.
Grinding, brushing, and polishing processes can generate metal dust and sparks simultaneously.
The wet scrubber uses water to bind dust and extinguish sparks. In suitable processes, this can make an important contribution to controlling fire and dust risks.
The Kiekens wet scrubber combines wet separation with industrial dry filtration.
The water phase binds particles and extinguishes sparks. The additional filtration supports the separation of remaining contamination. Both components are tailored to the process.
By effectively separating contamination and limiting the load on the dry filter system, wear can be reduced and filter lifespan supported.
The actual maintenance need remains dependent on dust load, water management, and operating hours.
No. This must be assessed per substance and process.
Material reactivity and ATEX risks may require additional measures. That's why Kiekens starts with a baseline assessment and risk inventory.
Yes. The filter system is modular and can be configured individually.
During engineering, Kiekens looks at the number of dust sources, required air volumes, available space, and future production development.
By extracting metal dust in a targeted manner and binding it in water, the spread of particles in the production environment is limited.
This helps improve air quality and cleanliness in the workplace. Good source extraction and correct dimensioning remain essential in this regard.
Yes, provided the existing situation is technically suitable or can be specifically adapted.
During the baseline assessment, Kiekens assesses the extraction points, ducting, and available space. Our engineers then design the integration within the overall installation.
A wet scrubber requires controlled maintenance of both the wet separation and the filtration.
Kiekens can combine installation, commissioning, periodic inspection, and service. This keeps us in control of performance, safety, and maintenance.
