Industrial dust extraction for production halls
What is production hall dust extraction?
Production hall dust extraction systems improve air quality in industrial environments by filtering harmful emissions such as dust, smoke, oil mist, color mist, gases, and vapors from the air. These systems are used in various production environments and operate based on two main methods
- Recirculation process: The room air is circulated, cleaned, and returned several times per hour, effectively removing particulate matter and smoke.
- Supply and extraction system: Fresh air is supplied while polluted air is removed. The principle of low-level ventilation is often used, where fresh air is introduced near the floor and the extracted air is expelled through the ceiling.
Our systems can be installed centrally (with piping systems) or decentrally (with industrial vacuum cleaners). Both options ensure consistent, legally compliant air quality and enhance the working environment.
Benefits of dust extraction in industrial environments
Our dust extraction systems for production halls offer numerous benefits:
- They effectively protect against harmful industrial emissions such as dust, smoke, and fumes.
- A single system can operate multiple workstations simultaneously, maintaining constant suction power.
- Thanks to heat recovery, our installations help reduce energy costs.
- They provide a pleasant, draft-free airflow.
- Additionally, our systems are fully adaptable to your specific processes.

Production hall dust extraction for welding fumes and industrial processes
Welding processes in metalworking require effective welding fume extraction, as welding smoke can have serious health consequences for your employees. They are especially suited for sectors like metalworking, paint factories, the wood industry, and the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. These systems prevent the air from becoming contaminated with harmful welding fumes, ensuring your company maintains high, compliant air quality at all times, so your employees can work safely.
Recirculation and other extraction methods
Push-pull mixing ventilation is one of the key methods for dust extraction in production halls. In this system, jet nozzles introduce clean air at ceiling level, while extraction nozzles capture harmful substances, ensuring effective air mixing.
- Push-Pull-Plus: This is an extended version of the push-pull system, where additional air sources on the floor support the rising airflows.
- Layer ventilation: In this system, fresh air is supplied through floor outlets, while polluted air is removed through the ceiling..
- Inverse layer ventilation: In this system, fresh air is introduced from above to extract harmful substances from the floor—ideal for halls where contamination occurs close to the ground.
For recirculation extraction, our systems capture polluted air directly at the source. Multi-stage filtration processes remove up to 99% of harmful particles and gases before the cleaned air is returned to the room.
Central versus decentralized production hall ventilation
Dust extraction systems for production halls can be implemented in both central and decentralized setups:
- Central systems: These are particularly suitable for large production sites, as they extract dust and smoke via a piping system and transport them to the filter unit. They offer excellent dust extraction and heat recovery but come with higher investment costs and increased space requirements.
- Decentralized systems: These provide maximum flexibility and are ideal for dynamic production environments. Industrial vacumm cleaners or separate extraction devices can be flexibly used at different locations and in various work environments. They are easier to install, although maintenance typically requires more effort due to the need to manage multiple installations simultaneously.

Extraction systems must comply with certain standards, such as ISO 13485, and require clinical evidence and accurate documentation. After commissioning, the system should be checked regularly to ensure that it functions properly.
Extraction systems capture the polluted air directly at the source and transport it via a piping system to a filter unit, where the harmful substances are removed. The cleaned air is then either led back into the room or removed out.
A hall extraction is necessary as soon as production processes generate dangerous particles such as dust, smoke or fumes. The system helps purify the air and meet the legal limits.
Yes, welding fumes must always be extracted because it is proven to contain harmful substances that can cause respiratory diseases and cancer. The smoke must be collected directly at the source so that it does not end up in the room.
