Defense and Aviation
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.

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.

Recommendation
Based on the results, we make recommendations to effectively tackle dust, dirt and risks — with possible tailored solutions.
Our systems are suitable for a wide range of aviation-related particulate matter, including:
- Chromium-6 and chemical vapors
- Carbon fibers and composite fabric
- Metal sharps, aluminum dust and titanium particles
- Oily dust and mists
Our systems comply with the most stringent aviation industry standards, including:
- ATEX explosion protection guidelines
- ISO 8573 for air quality in production processes
- EASA and REACH regulations for aviation materials
- CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) for sustainability reporting
Our energy-efficient filter systems contribute to lower emissions and a smaller CO₂ footprint. This helps aerospace companies comply with their CSRD obligations and other environmental standards.
Sure. We are a one-stop shop for industrial dust extraction and have an in-house team of technicians that install the pipework and connect Kiekens' solutions to it. To ensure that the extraction seamlessly connects to your systems, an on-site assessment always takes place beforehand.
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.

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.
