Extraction devices on a cleaning system
The important thing is that nothing comes out ... apart from clean air
Once in the filter, always in the filter
No matter how tiny something in the filter is, it stays in the filter
It will not let us down. The extraction and filtering devices from Fuchs Umwelttechnik meet the highest requirements for the collection and cleaning of even the slightest air pollutants every time they are switched on, for protection of man and machine.
The engineers at Fuchs Umwelttechnik combat the problems of extra fine particles with this new special development: Removal of residues from parts on a cleaning system by means of solvents such as acetone causes extra fine dusts. Microscopically small with just 50 nm, these are also highly carcinogenic.
The solution: An extraction stream collects all microscopic particles and feeds them into the filtering system during the entire machining process. The filtering system consists of three identical IKF0950.1 devices in which the hazardous substances are filtered out completely by several stages. In addition, an activated carbon filter absorbs any gas emissions. All the devices are connected to each other by an interface and are controlled centrally. A gas and a dust sensor additionally monitor the exhaust air stream.
No matter what is in the filter, it stays in the filter No compromise safety also when changing the filter: In the interests of comprehensive staff safety, special filter systems have been developed with a design that ensures contamination-free changing of saturated filters even under unfavourable conditions.
With this new extraction and filtering system from Fuchs Umwelttechnik, the user gets indispensable complete protection both during operation and during maintenance.

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.
