Defense and Aviation

Defense and aviation have been striving for a dust-free and chromium-6-free work environment for years to protect employee health. Partly driven by societal debate, there is also a need to further reduce emission levels. Ever thought about a dust extraction system from Kiekens? With over 100 years of knowledge, expertise, and experience, we are a knowledge leader in industrial dust extraction technology.

Tailored to every aircraft manufacturer

In the aviation industry, dust extraction is not a luxury, but a necessity. This is because metal chips and harmful substances, such as chromium 6, endanger both product quality and workers' safety. Strict regulations and audits therefore force quality managers to minimize risks and ensure a healthy work environment — preferably without sacrificing production efficiency.

With smart, seamlessly integrated dust extraction, Kiekens provides scalable systems for a comprehensive approach to all these themes. One comprehensive, central solution, including high and low vacuum technology, pipe networks and dust contacts. With a free baseline measurement, customized advice and 24/7 service, we also offer you — in addition to guaranteeing a clean, safe working environment — the assurance of maximum compliance with laws and regulations.

Our solution
Exposure to chromium-6 and other hazardous substances during maintenance
ATEX-certified HEPA filter systems effectively capture chromium-6 and other harmful particles, significantly reducing staff exposure to them.
Accumulation of oily dust, carbon fibres and metal particles in production environments
Our high-vacuum dust extraction systems are specifically designed to efficiently extract these specific particles, resulting in a cleaner and safer working environment.
Compliance with strict aviation and safety standards (ISO, ATEX, EASA and REACH regulations, CSRD)
Kiekens' systems are fully compliant with applicable regulations (ISO, ATEX, EASA and REACH regulations, CSRD), so that aircraft manufacturers meet the required safety and environmental standards.
Risk of explosion due to accumulation of particulate matter and aluminum chips
Our ATEX-certified extraction systems minimize the risk of dust explosions thanks to highly effective extraction and filtration of potentially explosive particles.
High energy costs due to inefficient extraction systems
With smart IoT-integrated systems, the suction power automatically adjusts based on real-time needs. This leads to significant energy savings and lower operating costs.

A suitable solution

The Dustmaster 9000

The production and processing of aircraft parts releases harmful particulate matter, such as metal particles and chromium 6. The Kiekens HV Dustmaster 9000 is designed to efficiently extract and filter these particles, with a high-vacuum system that captures dust directly at the source. Thanks to the large filter capacity and automatic filter cleaning, the extraction continues to perform optimally, without disruptions in the production process.

With its robust construction and modular design, the Dustmaster 9000 seamlessly meets the strict requirements in the aviation industry. Major players like Airbus rely on Kiekens for a safe, clean and efficient work environment.

Are your products suitable for the extraction of Chromium 6?

The use of chromium 6 in paint products has been a hot topic for years. This is because Chromium-6 poses the necessary proven health risks. Nevertheless, the Ministry of Defence uses this chromium-6-containing paint. This is because the chromium-6 prevents material from rusting and thus contributes to safe equipment and material in an industry that cannot afford defects.

In order to protect the health of workers who come into contact with this paint, the necessary measures must be taken. One of them is the use of an extraction system, such as Kiekens' Dustmaster 1200. In addition to extracting (fine) dust, we also specialize in customized technical solutions for filtering chromium 6 and chemicals from the air. Do you have an issue in this area? Our technical experts are happy to think along with you.

Dust extraction in Defense and the aviation industry

With the processing of wood, metal, and other materials, airborne dust particles are a given in defense and the aviation industry. Then it's good to know that with innovative source extraction and a powerful ventilation system with high-quality filters, dust has no chance. This makes compliance with environmental standards easier and reduces costs for emission rights and CO2 fines.
