Safe and compliant to the highest standards

Health, safety, and legislation are key priorities in the recycling industry, which is why Kiekens offers solutions that comply with ATEX guidelines and industry standards, reduce health risks, and minimize downtime due to maintenance. Curious about the potential for improvement? Start with a free emission or baseline measurement. Our team provides advice, designs, and implements — with 24/7 service and maintenance to ensure continued performance.

Maximum energy efficiency, minimal waste

Our machines are equipped with electric motors of the highest efficiency classes (IE4 and above), delivering significant energy savings. Thanks to frequency controllers, energy consumption is dynamically adjusted to meet current demand, while low filter resistance and advanced compressed air-controlled filter cleaning minimize operational costs and maintenance needs. These innovations result in more efficient, sustainable operation and extend the lifespan of your equipment, all while maintaining performance and reliability.

Tailored solutions for every waste treatment company

Dust extraction in the recycling industry requires an integrated approach. Kiekens supplies complete systems, including a pipe network, sufficient dust contacts and both high and low vacuum solutions. This means efficient local extraction at landfills, powerful vacuum cleaners for small waste that has ended up on the ground, and central dust extraction for the finest particles. Everything connects seamlessly, is scalable and tailored to your specific process. From design to installation and maintenance — Kiekens is your one-stop shop for a dust-free work environment.

A suitable solution

The Dustmaster DM10,000

Due to the modular structure, there is maximum flexibility in set-up options and air volumes. The Dustmaster DM10,000 compact has a capacity of up to 5,500 m³/h. The Dustmaster DM10,000 Compact comes with a silent and energy-efficient integrated fan as standard.

The collected dust is collected in a 70L wheeled dust bin. To collect larger volumes of dust, you can opt for an 85L wheelset drum or a rotary lock, whether or not in combination with a big bag. If you wish, the switch and control cabinet is mounted directly on the Dustmaster so that you can put the DM10,000 compact into operation immediately.

An important feature of the DM10,000 compact is the use of a generously sized filter housing with an integrated pre-separation chamber. In the pre-separation room, the dirty air is directed to the dust extraction, resulting in a quiet airflow, a low air speed in the filter unit and more efficient dust collection. The use of this technique ensures less wear and a longer life of the filters. The result: a lower total cost of ownership.

How does a dust extraction system help comply with environmental regulations?

Our systems contribute to compliance with environmental regulations in 4 ways:

  1. They reduce emissions (Environmental Management Act) and increase workplace safety (ATEX guidelines).
  2. Better air quality in and around the installation leads to positive ticks during inspection rounds and audits.
  3. Transparent monitoring tools generate input for reports to authorities.
  4. Good housekeeping is almost entirely automatic.
