Dust, chips, smoke and fine emissions: Every day, industry releases microscopic particles that accumulate in the air and are harmful to health. Kiekens' mobile extraction systems offer a flexible and efficient solution for filtering the air and keeping it free of harmful substances. Thanks to their robust construction, powerful filter technology and high quality, the mobile devices can be used easily and precisely where they are needed right at the source of the emission.

Mobile dust and smoke extraction systems

Kiekens has a wide range of mobile extraction systems that have been specially developed for extracting dust and smoke in industrial environments. The mobile industrial vacuum cleaners are extremely powerful and agile — ideal for construction sites or temporary and seasonal workplaces. They are easy to transport and very efficient to use. Models such as the Kiekens DMF1258M are even certified for use in explosive zones (ATEX Zone 22). All mobile systems can be used as a supplement to stationary extraction systems, but can also function independently. In this way, they are a flexible solution for extracting dust and smoke directly at the source.

What is a mobile dust extractor?

A mobile dust extractor is a flexible extraction system that captures dust and other particles directly at the source. In contrast to stationary installations, these devices can be moved effortlessly thanks to wheels or carrying handles. They offer powerful extraction in a compact housing and are equipped with highly efficient filters to minimize harmful emissions. Mobile extraction systems are used in craft and industrial companies, workshops or construction sites, and create a clean and safe working environment there — without fixed installations or drastic construction measures.

Why is mobile dust extraction important?

An extraction system is important because it removes harmful particulate matter from the air and thus protects against health risks. Mobile extraction can also be used flexibly, so that dust is removed directly at the source — even before it can spread. In addition, mobile systems are cost-efficient because they are easy to install and do not require large installations. Despite their compact size, they have a high suction power and protect even sensitive machines and electronics against dust accumulation.

Benefits of mobile dust extraction

  • Can be used flexibly: ideal for changing or temporary workplaces
  • Targeted extraction: removes dust directly at the source
  • Cost-efficient: cheaper than stationary installations, no structural changes required
  • Health protection: reduces particulate matter and pollutants in the air
  • Energy efficient: saves energy and offers long filter life
  • Easy to use: compact, mobile and quick to deploy
  • Machine protection: prevents dust accumulation and reduces maintenance costs

How do mobile dust extraction systems work?

To extract dust effectively, a powerful fan first generates a negative pressure that draws the dust particles directly into the device. Larger particles are removed in a pre-separator, after which the air flows through a high-efficiency filter system. Many models are equipped with an automatic cleaning system that cleans the filter with compressed air impulses. The collected dust particles are collected in a collection bin that can be easily emptied. The filtered air is then led back into the room or removed out.

Areas of application of mobile extraction systems

Mobile extraction systems are the perfect solution for removing dust, smoke, chips and other particulate matter in a wide range of work areas. They are used wherever flexible and powerful extraction is needed:

  • Welding and metalworking: for extracting welding fumes, metal chips and grinding dust via efficient grinding dust extraction
  • Woodworking: against wood dust and wood chips
  • Plastics, paper and textile industries: to prevent the spread of fine particles
  • Construction sector: reduces concrete, cement and quartz dust when drilling, grinding or sawing
  • Chemical industry and laboratories: for extracting toxic and explosive dust and gases
  • Foundries, cement plants and power plants: filter process dust and bulk material particles

The great thing is: Kiekens' mobile extraction systems are just as versatile as their application areas — so you're guaranteed to find the right solution for your situation.

Mobile dust extraction vs. stationary extraction systems

Stationary extraction systems are often larger and provide strong suction power in a fixed location. Mobile variants, on the other hand, are more compact. Although they sacrifice something in terms of capacity and power, they more than make up for this because of their flexibility. Unlike fixed systems, they are not tied to one location and can be deployed exactly where necessary — ideal for temporary work. Thanks to their high mobility, they are easy to move. Mobile units also score well in terms of cost efficiency: their energy-efficient motor only consumes power when necessary. Stationary installations are designed for continuous use. In many cases, mobile and stationary systems complement each other perfectly: mobile devices support the central installation when needed. All in all, the mobile solution is more compact, more affordable and more versatile.

What to consider when choosing a mobile extraction system?

When selecting a mobile extraction system, it is important to know the specific requirements of your work environment. What activities are being carried out and what emissions are released? In particular, the type of substance and the amount determine which filter capacity is required. Some systems are equipped with complex filters, others with optional HEPA filters. In addition, factors such as energy consumption, robustness and filter life play a role. In environments with explosive substances, installations must comply with the ATEX guidelines. Issues such as size, weight and noise level must also match the planned application.

Veelgestelde vragen (FAQ)
01
Is a dust extraction system required by law?

Yes, in many cases, a dust extraction system is required by law. For example, the Working Conditions Decree (Working Conditions Decree) states that employers must ensure good air quality and that the dust concentration limits must always be complied with. Extraction is mandatory, especially in explosive zones.

02
Why mobile dust extraction?

Mobile dust extraction has clear advantages over a stationary system. Mobile dust extraction is flexible, drains exactly where dust is released, easy to use and energy efficient. When necessary, the mobile unit can be deployed quickly and in a targeted manner.

03
