Full speed in truck brake recycling – but double safety the new enclosure hood from Fuchs Umwelttechnik
Every truck makes its last trip at some time. Now, recycling is called for. An expensive, not unproblematical process. During recycling of the brake system, the servo valve units of the hydraulic brake systems are drilled open and drained on a special drilling system. A dangerous process because these tanks carry pressures of up to 90 bar.
This is where the know-how and creativity of Fuchs Umwelttechnik with the double safety advantage comes in. The first safety advantage: In the drilling process the newly developed enclosure hood safely and protectively encloses the servo valve units. Two pressure spindles with recoiling springs hold the unit perfectly in position. The second safety advantage: Emissions such as drilling chips or brake fluids are collected flow-optimised and completely filtered in the INR320.1 type extraction unit.
The hood is easy to divide for simple handling and fast drill change especially for very large quantities.

The CCMT 2026 (Shanghai International Fair for CNC Machine Tool Components & Attachments) was held at the end of April 2026 in Shanghai, China, and is one of the world’s most important trade fairs for machine tools. Over an exhibition area with 20 halls and about 2,000 booths, the focus was on topics such as CNC technology, metal processing and intelligent production.
Fuchs Umwelttechnik were represented exclusively at the fair by their sales partner NUOSUN. Numerous professional visitors showed a strong interest in the subject of air purification and had the details of products from Fuchs Umwelttechnik explained to them on site by NUOSUN.
In addition, our partner NUOSUN made numerous contacts with Asian laser machine manufacturers. The talks provided an interesting insight into the requirements and perspectives of the Asian market which we will incorporate into our future planning.
On the whole, we can draw positive conclusions from the CCMT 2026: The visitors’ interest was great, the response positive in every respect and many valuable contacts with interesting manufacturers could be made. The fair therefore fulfilled all our expectations.
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!
