ABKAB03 double cleans better. The 2-zone extraction booth for orange terpenes from Fuchs Umwelttechnik
Silky matt, gleaming stainless steel, sturdy aluminium sections, two separate work zones behind integrated sliding glass doors and clear lighting through the glass roof – this superb special development ABKAB03 from Fuchs Umwelttechnik certainly looks impressive.
The initial situation at the customer: during the production process – work takes place in 3 shifts – the used tool parts get increasingly dirty. These must be removed and sticky adherences, e.g. resins, cleaned off as soon as it becomes necessary. Health-hazardous fumes occur in the process which can only be handled safely by effective extraction.
An ambitious project for the implementation of which a large number of specifications, parameters and special features need to be considered. Ultimately, with this new extraction booth, the engineers at Fuchs Umwelttechnik have developed a two-part work area which ensures both efficiency and safety.
Part 1, the immersion bath. Our engineers placed a cleaning bath in the floor of the booth, also made of stainless steel. Safely behind the glass doors, the contaminations are dissolved from the tool parts in an 80 °C hot bath with orange terpenes. Three screens ensure safe assembly.
And on to part 2. Remaining dirt particles are blown off in the left booth section with compressed air, protected by the front safety glass and permanently installed gloves. The integrated roof light leaves nothing in the dark.
At the same time, all fumes that occur during cleaning can be extracted permanently and completely through the suction slits in the rear wall. On both sides of the booth.
Details such as the four sockets, compressed air connections, perfect illumination or the easy operation and ergonomics are evidence that we have thought about everything for this work place.
Engineering work for an impressive result. Engineering work that singles out Fuchs Umwelttechnik and that we are more than a little proud of.
Fuchs Umwelttechnik and Pantron Automation are founding a new partnership with the Fountain Inn High School in South Carolina to support and encourage future generations of qualified skilled professionals. As a pioneer of training in progressive production and technology, the school creates close relations between industry and teaching from which all those involved gain lasting benefits.
The cooperation began at the Pantron Automation booth at the SouthTec Fair 2025, USA. From a technical exchange on the powerful, highly modern extraction technology of Fuchs Umwelttechnik, a strategic dialogue on the changing requirements of modern production and the possibilities of targeted qualification of young talent developed.
The background: This is exactly the principle that the Fountain Inn High School follows, to prepare their students for careers in progressive production, engineering and related technical fields with special programmes, says Ken Barker, specialist teacher at the educational facility. With both practical training courses and a syllabus that is also adapted to industry, the school responds appropriately to the growing demand for skilled personnel and engineering talents.
The implementation: A progressively operating educational institution and two competent international industrial partners create an effective win-win situation for all parties: the excellent preparation of skilled workers for constant innovation in industry. Together, they help young people to acquire the knowledge, the tools and the practical experience that they need for a successful career in the high-tech branch.
The success: Industry gets qualified recruits, whilst the trainees gain access to state-of-the-art technology and realistic insight into industrial processes. Fuchs Umwelttechnik, Pantron Automation and the Fountain Inn High School thereby emphasize their common commitment to innovation, quality and a strong, sustainable workforce development.
Fuchs Umwelttechnik is further expanding its presence in Asia: With immediate effect, the company DBAY/NUOSUN, Shanghai is exclusively taking over sales of the complete product portfolio of extraction and filtering units from Fuchs Umwelttechnik in the Asian area.
Based on the now three-year cooperation between Fuchs Umwelttechnik and DBAY/NUOSUN, this sales partnership is uniting technical know-how with direct proximity to the market. Our customers in Asia will benefit, in future, from a direct local contact who can react expediently to all matters with well-founded consultation and fast, top-class service.
DBAY/NUOSUN stands for quality, reliability and technical expertise – ideal conditions for optimum representation of the advantages and performance capabilities of our extraction and filtering units on the Asian market. As of 01-03-2026, your inquiries and orders can be handled directly through DBAY/NUOSUN SHANGHAI.
We look forward to a continuing successful partnership and are certain that this cooperation will help to simplify processes and further optimise important procedures. DBAY/NUOSUN and Fuchs Umwelttechnik – as strong partners for the future!
The conversion unit was developed at the request of a customer who is already equipped with numerous TKFVA devices. For their sensor production, they required additional safety measures against the reactive dusts of CrNi steels and titanium. Since the INRVABE3.1 powdering module is designed exclusively for the higher emission quantities of the MKFVA and INRV device types, the consequence would be an expensive total replacement of the extraction and filtering units. Economically, this is no option and not at all what we have in mind.
To meet our customers' requirements, our engineers therefore designed the TKFVAÜG6 conversion unit especially for the appropriate performance data of the most compact device series with automatic filter cleaning TKFVA. With this, the INRVABE3.1 powdering module can now also be used for smaller emission quantities.
Sophisticated in every detail:
- Constant discharge through a chute into a 20-litre barrel by optimum positioning to the TKFVA, even during operation
- The powdering has been parametrised exactly for the smaller emission quantities
- A pinch valve is no longer required for the activation
- PE-film in the barrel for contamination-free disposal
- Barrel emptying by a quick clamp offline
With the new TKFVAÜG6 conversion unit, our customers now have a complete safety solution especially for smaller emission quantities at their disposal which can easily be integrated into existing systems.
