Industrial Vacuuming / Dedusting Solutions | Kärcher Industrial Vacuuming GmbH

The metal processing industry, which encompasses metallurgy, machine design and automotive engineering, is a core industry with incredibly sophisticated procedures. Metal processing generates huge quantities of abrasive swarf mixed with cooling lubricants. Cleaning workpieces and machine tools, often during ongoing operation, is an important task that has a significant impact on cost efficiency. Our suction solutions provide optimum process reliability and quality assurance.

Use:

• Vacuuming and absorbing swarf and fluids from all machining processes that generate swarf, such as milling, turning, drilling, grinding, deburring and brushing
• Stationary vacuuming of machining equipment with continuous removal of swarf and dust

Challenge:

• Contamination of machining equipment due to (sharp) swarf, grinding dust, paint grinding dust, slag, combustible dust, cooling lubricant and emulsions
• Separating swarf and emulsions

Benefits:

• Keep production processes clean and minimise downtime
• Reduce downtime for machining equipment
• Increase production accuracy
• Increase reliability of work and processes
• Separate swarf and liquids
• Long-lasting, robust solutions
• Continuous operation and fast cleaning times thanks to high suction power

Clean production processes, guaranteed quality, optimum hygiene, and the prevention of contamination are key success factors in the food processing. This generates large quantities of fine, explosive types of dust.

Use:

• Vacuuming foodstuff dusts such as flour dust, vitamin powder, foodstuff powder, etc. either mobile or stationary and integrated in the production process

Challenge:

• Versatile vacuuming tasks and types of dirt: Foodstuff breakages, types of dust (potentially explosive, freely floating, adhesive, wet), fats, oils and egg whites, liquids
• Risk of dust explosions
• (Cross-)contamination, microbial contamination, altered taste, slip hazards

Benefits:

• Keep production processes clean and minimise downtime
• Vacuum potentially explosive types of dust with ATEX certification
• Long-lasting, reliable, compact solutions
• Cost-effective solutions
• Effective filters and filter cleaning

The pharmaceutical industry must continuously meet extremely strict quality and hygiene standards in a variety of product ranges. At the same time, production processes must run as efficiently as possible. Our suction and dust extraction solutions achieve these goals on any industrial scale.

Use:

• Vacuuming residue from tablets, active agents in medicines (vitamins, oestrogen)
• Vacuuming dust in production processes

Challenge:

• Fine dust that is hazardous to health
• Potentially explosive dust

Benefits:

• Keep production processes clean and minimise downtime using, for instance, integrated
• suction in the production process
• Health protection and occupational safety
• Use vacuums in particularly delicate areas
• Safe vacuuming and disposal of hazardous and potentially explosive
• dust, among other materials, thanks to the vacuum's certification

The production and processing of rubber and plastics generate fine and coarse particles that pose a danger to health. These substances may be present in large quantities during transport and maintenance work.

Use:

• Cleaning machines and workplaces, in particular vacuuming and absorbing granulates, plastic swarf and dust, (aggressive) chemical mixtures, fertiliser, paint powder, water, detergent
• Vacuuming dust from production processes (e.g. dust generated during granulate dosing)

Challenge:

• Dusts that are hazardous to health and the environment
• Contamination of products

Benefits:

• Keep production processes clean and minimise downtime
• Guarantee occupational safety and work efficiency
• Vacuum potentially explosive types of dust with ATEX certification
• Contamination-free emptying

In the wood and furniture industry, sawdust, swarf and sanding dust post a continuous, serious risk to health. What's more, these substances can be easily ignited or even explosive. The use of our specialised suction systems enables you to reliably prevent dust and swarf from collecting and becoming a hazard in the workplace.

Use:

• Maintenance cleaning and machine cleaning
• Continuous suction and removal of swarf and dust on milling machines, sanding machines, saws,
• hand,tools, etc.

Challenge:

• Easily flammable to highly explosive dust
• Dust that is hazardous to health
• Frequent large quantities of dust

Benefits:

• Health protection and occupational safety

Extremely fine, sharp and abrasive suction waste is generated when processing stone and glass. This challenge is no match for our suction solutions.

Use:

• Machine cleaning, sometimes with large amounts of fluid
• Vacuuming cement dust on conveyor belts, filling funnels, filling equipment, etc.

Challenge:

• Large quantities of dust
• Sharp material to be vacuumed
• Large quantities of cooling water

Benefits:

• Guarantee quality and operational processes

Removing waste material generated during production in the textile industry involves unique challenges. Fibres and fluff that are vacuumed away tend to clump together and can shut down production by blocking filters, hoses and pipelines. Our tailor-made solutions ensure that your production processes continue to run seamlessly.

Use:

• Vacuuming fluff and fibres of any size and any amount

Challenge:

• Textile fibres adhere to and block the filter
• Textile fibres form balls in hoses and pipelines, thereby blocking them

Benefits:

• Keep production processes clean and minimise downtime
• Continuously high suction power
• Long-lasting, reliable, compact, cost-effective solutions

In the electronics industry and in optics, production processes generate extremely fine dust that is capable of damaging components and must be vacuumed away directly as the process runs. Our suction systems help you to achieve these goals and protect your sophisticated production systems at the same time.

Use:

• Milling electrical components
• Polishing optical elements

Challenge:

• Highly abrasive dust
• Dust capable of destroying components

Benefits:

• Guarantee quality and operational processes

The production of printed media involves the use and creation of paper dust, paint powder, liquid colourants and toners. These substances, some of which are highly toxic, require high-performance suction solutions – which we have been developing for the printing industry for decades.

Use:

• Vacuuming cellulose fibres during machine cleaning in the paper industry
• Vacuuming fine to coarse paper cuttings from cutting machines
• Cleaning printing machines
• Vacuuming paint powder

Challenge:

• Extremely fine, explosive dust
• Large paper cuttings

Benefits:

• Guarantee quality and operational processes
• Health and safety measure
