Fuchs Umwelttechnik P+V GmbH is outfitting the Hella Hueck company with an innovative extraction system concept
In response to special customer demands, different additional components are used based on the proven Fuchs Umwelttechnik compact MKFVA102 dust separator with two BIA tested filter cartridges.
An integrated bypass which bypasses the filter cartridges during the on-line cleaning process serves to prevent the production and extraction process at the measuring point being influenced by a possible surge of compressed air.
Another feature is the integrated, pneumatically controlled dusting unit. This module offers the possibility of blowing inert dust into the filtering device to lower the combustion factor of extracted, highly reactive dusts to an uncritical level. Since a combustion factor (classified from BZ1 to BZ6 in accordance with VDI 2263) of three and less means that the dust is self-extinguishing, not even extracted sparks or smouldering particles can cause a fire as investigations by DEKRA EXAM have shown.
Another new feature is the automatic, low contamination dust extraction which is enabled by two electrically controlled locking flaps. The defined volume between the first and second flap is monitored by a filling level sensor, i.e. the first flap opens after every filter cartridge cleaning process until the filling level sensor responds. If this is the case, the second locking flap opens and the collected dust is emptied into a PE foil bag. This process is repeated five times until the machine outputs a warning message to the operator at a defined volume. The second locking flap then stays closed until the operator has changed the foil bag and acknowledged the warning message. This ensures that the dust is disposed of without contamination at regular intervals.
Understanding air streams is a basic prerequisite for capturing air pollutants completely and reliably.
For a customer order, dusts and emissions that occur during the cutting and singling of printed circuit boards must be fully captured, reliably discharged and filtered into the appropriate extraction and filtering devices at six workstations – without interfering with the production process.
Together with the customer the engineers of Fuchs Umwelttechnik analyse all the details that are crucial for an efficient and trouble-free solution. In close consultation with their contacts, they develop and support the project from the initial conception to the finished part from the company’s own 3D printing department.
The result: the newly developed MZSDSO01. Thanks to its sophisticated air flow control, this extraction nozzle reliably captures dusts and emissions directly at their place of origin. Due to its inconspicuous integration into the machine’s saw carriage, it works without impairing the production processes. Together with the appropriate extraction and filtering device from Fuchs Umwelttechnik a unit is formed that is optimally adapted to the customer’s individual requirements.
From the first consultation and sketch through to the flow-optimised design, we develop the right extraction and filtering solution with you step by step.
More important than ever before: Sophisticated solutions for the COLLECTION, EXTRACTION, AND FILTRATION OF AIR POLLUTANTS
The international trade fair for plastics processing, FAKUMA, is opening its gates for the 30th time from the 12th to the 16th of October 2026 in Friedrichshafen.
Plastics are a constant companion in all areas of daily life world-wide. An incredible amount in the production and processing of which various pollutants occur which must be treated accordingly and which demand a competent specialist.
This specialist, Fuchs Umwelttechnik, will this year – following their successful fair appearance at the 2024 – again be presenting sophisticated new products and efficient safety solutions for the collection and filtration of all air pollutants in plastic production and processing!
Our competent team of engineers await you at the Fuchs Umwelttechnik booth A1-1210 in Hall A1 and look forward to a constructive exchange on all questions to do with the elimination of your pollutant emissions.
In addition to a special selection from our versatile modular product portfolio, you can find out all about highly practical new developments and further highlights! Look out for a quick preview in a later newsflash.
Visit Fuchs Umwelttechnik at this year’s anniversary Fakuma. You can reserve your free personal entrance ticket with the ticket voucher button on our website.
The Fuchs Umwelttechnik team are looking forward to meeting you. We will take time to answer your questions and discuss your individual wises on site.

The CCMT 2026 (Shanghai International Fair for CNC Machine Tool Components & Attachments) was held at the end of April 2026 in Shanghai, China, and is one of the world’s most important trade fairs for machine tools. Over an exhibition area with 20 halls and about 2,000 booths, the focus was on topics such as CNC technology, metal processing and intelligent production.
Fuchs Umwelttechnik were represented exclusively at the fair by their sales partner NUOSUN. Numerous professional visitors showed a strong interest in the subject of air purification and had the details of products from Fuchs Umwelttechnik explained to them on site by NUOSUN.
In addition, our partner NUOSUN made numerous contacts with Asian laser machine manufacturers. The talks provided an interesting insight into the requirements and perspectives of the Asian market which we will incorporate into our future planning.
On the whole, we can draw positive conclusions from the CCMT 2026: The visitors’ interest was great, the response positive in every respect and many valuable contacts with interesting manufacturers could be made. The fair therefore fulfilled all our expectations.
