Full speed in truck brake recycling – but double safety the new enclosure hood from Fuchs Umwelttechnik

Every truck makes its last trip at some time. Now, recycling is called for. An expensive, not unproblematical process. During recycling of the brake system, the servo valve units of the hydraulic brake systems are drilled open and drained on a special drilling system. A dangerous process because these tanks carry pressures of up to 90 bar.  

This is where the know-how and creativity of Fuchs Umwelttechnik with the double safety advantage comes in. The first safety advantage: In the drilling process the newly developed enclosure hood safely and protectively encloses the servo valve units. Two pressure spindles with recoiling springs hold the unit perfectly in position. The second safety advantage: Emissions such as drilling chips or brake fluids are collected flow-optimised and completely filtered in the INR320.1 type extraction unit. 

The hood is easy to divide for simple handling and fast drill change especially for very large quantities. 

Technical data:
Dim.: DxH in mm approx. 100x180
Sheet steel: powder coated RAL 5010
Weight: approx. 2 kg
Volume flow: up to max. 250 m³/h 
Extraction connection: NW50 mm
Larger or smaller extraction systems are possible depending on the application.

Laser World of Photonics 2025 – Strong appearance with future-oriented solutions
With a convincing appearance at the Laser World of Photonics 2025 , Fuchs Umwelttechnik sums up very positively on the whole. With more than 1,300 exhibitors, the leading international fair for photonics, laser technologies and optical systems offered a comprehensive round-up of the branch. The laser fair took place side by side with the Automatica which provided additional stimuli.

As an established equipper for the laser industry, Fuchs Umwelttechnik presented numerous new products and sophisticated extraction and filtering systems for air purification – developed specially for the widest variety of laser applications. Our company has stood for quality, innovation and sustainable solutions for more than four decades.

Fuchs Umwelttechnik's booth attracted large numbers of visitors for the duration of the fair. Professional visitors took the opportunity for intensive talks with our experts and obtained specific information about our systems – numerous guests to the Automatica also showed great interest in our solutions for mechanical engineering and robotics.

The positive feedback and the high demand endorse Fuchs Umwelttechnik in their claim to be the reference for air purification in laser processes. We would like to thank all our visitors and look forward to new projects and successful cooperation.

MKFAPL5
The new extraction plate for work benches or lab benches. Inconspicuous and highly efficient.
Soldering at a work bench and health-hazardous solder fumes are engulfing you?

Solvent or adhesive vapours are escaping during your work at the lab bench which you should not inhale?

Or are you battling with ultra-fine particles which contaminate not only the working environment during your activities?

Whether solder fumes, solvent and adhesive vapours or ultra-fine particles – for the complete extraction of these pollutants, the engineers at Fuchs Umwelttechnik have developed the effective MKFAPL5 extraction plate, especially for installation into work benches or laboratory benches.

Installed flush with the bench surface, the extraction plate collects all emissions. The width of 90 cm ensures sufficient space here for a wide, safe working area. Individual dimensions are possible, of course.

MKFAPL5 – the new bench extraction plate: With professional competence and customer orientation, Fuchs Umwelttechnik once again supplies a sophisticated, useful solution for the protection of man and the environment.
