Metal and plastic processing

Reliably capture fine dust and emissions from the printing process

Industrial 3D printing involves melting, solidification, and post-processing, which generate emissions that are harmful to health: fine dust, process gases, organic vapors, and metal oxides—some of which are explosive. Downstream processes such as depowdering and laser cutting are also critical.

Reliable filtration in additive manufacturing

FILTRACON offers compact and customizable extraction systems that can be seamlessly integrated into additive manufacturing environments—including HEPA filtration, gas separation, and ATEX configuration if required.

Targeted control of dust from surface treatment

When brushing metals or coated components, fine particles are produced from the material and the brush. These dusts are often flammable or explosive and quickly accumulate in machines or on surfaces.

Effective dust collection with a focus on safety

FILTRACON extraction solutions capture dust directly at the source. Depending on the type of dust and machine, we offer solutions with explosion protection, pre-separation, or filter monitoring.
 

Safely separate vapors, additive particles, and fine dust during mixing

During compounding, mixing, dosing, and extruding generate emissions from polymers, additives, and fillers. These can be harmful to health, sticky, or even flammable.

Precise extraction in plastics processing

FILTRACON systems ensure clean air directly at mixing or extrusion points. Depending on the emissions, dry or combination filter solutions with specific chemical resistance are used.

Safely capture particles, drawing dust, and lubricant mist

Wire drawing produces fine metal dust and lubricant mist due to mechanical friction and high tensile forces, especially when processing copper, aluminum, or steel. These emissions not only affect air quality in production, but can also cause deposits on machines and product surfaces.

FILTRACON® extraction technology ensures effective collection of these particles directly in the drawing line area. Our systems are designed for continuous operation, support reliable air purification, and significantly reduce cleaning requirements. The systems are individually configured depending on the material and process conditions—for clean air and consistent product quality in wire drawing.

Capturing dust, smoke, and binder-related emissions during casting

The high temperatures involved in metal casting produce metal vapors, fine quartz dust, and organic fumes. These are often respirable and require efficient separation.

Temperature-resistant solutions for casting processes

FILTRACON® offers robust extraction systems with heat-resistant filter stages. The systems can be used on casting lines, molding boxes, or venting areas.

Targeted separation of oil mist, gases, and nitrous compounds

Thermal hardening processes generate a variety of emissions—from oil mist to nitrogen oxides to hydrocarbon vapors.

Safe air flow during heat treatments

FILTRACON® extraction systems are installed directly on hardening chambers or induction points. They filter both oil-containing and reactive gases and can be individually configured.

Extract fine dust and gaseous residues directly at the laser

Laser processes generate ultra-fine particles, metal fumes, and chemical gases, depending on the material (e.g., plastics, metals, composites).

Effective extraction technology for laser systems

FILTRACON filter units are installed directly at the laser source. They combine fine dust and gas filters, protect the optics, and ensure a clean process environment.

Efficient collection of cooling lubricant mist, aerosols, and chips

Machining processes such as turning, milling, or drilling generate significant amounts of emulsion mist, oil-containing aerosols, and fine to coarse chips. These emissions not only impair air quality, but also settle on machine components, sensors, and floor surfaces. The result is increased maintenance costs, potential disruptions in the manufacturing process, and increased safety risks.

Modular solutions for every machine tool

FILTRACON® oil mist separators are specifically designed to meet the requirements of metalworking. They capture emissions directly at the source, improve air quality, and support smooth, clean production processes. Each solution is individually tailored to the machine and production environment.

Filtering oxide fumes and alloy vapors at high temperatures

Melting produces oxidic smoke particles, metal or slag residues, and gases that can sometimes be corrosive or toxic.

Industrial extraction technology for melting processes

FILTRACON® offers specially designed systems with temperature-resistant components for the safe capture of these emissions, tailored to the furnace type, material, and air volume.

Capturing smoke, tinder, and oil-containing vapors during forming

Forging produces hot gases, metal particles, and lubricant residues. These have a massive impact on the environment and personnel.

Extraction technology for hot and harsh operating environments

FILTRACON® systems with temperature- and particle-resistant technology enable efficient air purification at presses, hammers, or forming stations.

Safely extract ultrafine metal oxides and gases during joining

Depending on the active ingredient and process, welding or soldering produces harmful fumes, metal oxides, ozone, or flux residues.

Targeted source detection for clean breathing air

FILTRACON® systems capture welding fumes directly at the torch or soldering point, either mobile or stationary, and ensure permanently safe air conditions.

Effectively collect coarse dirt and production residues

Almost all machining processes such as milling, turning, drilling, or sawing produce fine particles as well as coarse chips. These can be dry, oily, or sticky and quickly accumulate in machine rooms, guides, or on transport routes. Without targeted collection, they lead to increased cleaning costs, premature machine wear, and safety risks.

Customized extraction solutions for every type of chip

FILTRACON® offers customized chip extraction systems for individual machines or complete processing lines. The systems ensure clean work areas, reduced maintenance costs, and smooth production processes.
