Dust accumulation, explosion hazards and noise nuisance – familiar issues? In the animal feed industry, these risks threaten both your people and the continuity of your production. Kiekens dust extraction systems do what they promise: safe, certified and fully tailored to your process. With over 115 years of experience, we know exactly what matters. From local source extraction to central systems: our solutions meet the strictest standards (HACCP, ATEX) and are fully scalable. This ensures uptime, smooth inspections, and a safe, healthy, and efficient workplace.
How we help you achieve a clean environment
Custom dust extraction solutions for the feed industry
The feed industry has specific demands for dust extraction. Fine powders like flour, premixes and additives accumulate easily around mixers, drop points and transport systems. Kiekens offers one central extraction system where all components work seamlessly together, fully tailored to your process.
Why animal feed producers choose Kiekens:
- Integrates perfectly with your existing installations and processes
- Scalable and future-proof for plant expansions
- Including complete ductwork: from design to installation
A tailored solution for every dust source:
- High vacuum: for local extraction at dosing units
- Low vacuum: for extracting airborne dust
- Industrial vacuum cleaners: for thorough floor cleaning
The Dustmaster DM1200
The DM1200 is an efficient low-vacuum system with a pressure range of 1 to 100 mbar. It is specifically designed for production environments with high dust loads, such as the animal feed industry.
The system is commonly used during mixing, dosing or transporting powders like flour, granulates or premixes.
Thanks to its continuous and powerful suction, the DM1200 prevents both airborne dust dispersion and dust accumulation on machines and floors – two key sources of contamination and health risks.
For applications where hygiene, cleanability and corrosion resistance are essential, the DM1200 is also available in a stainless steel (SS) version.
