Limitation of damages in case of fire! The new fire extinguishing device for interchangeable filtering units (type KKF, TKFD, MKF and INR10)
Sometimes extraction is also necessary in critical situations and glowing material or sparks are sucked in despite all caution! But to rule out a fire in the device as far as possible, the new fire extinguishing device is triggered. This opens the bottle valve of the extinguishing agent tank via a solenoid switch. The suitable extinguishing agent (e.g. CO2) is sprayed through a high pressure hose and an extinguishing nozzle directly into the extraction and filtering unit. The oxygen is displaced and the fire is extinguished. At the same time the extraction and filtering unit switches off via a potential-free relay contact. The fire extinguishing device can also be triggered manually of course if required.
In order to keep damages to the unit to a minimum in an emergency, the optical sensor detects a fire in its development phase and triggers the fire extinguishing device immediately. Not only is a fire avoided but, after changing the filter elements and installing a freshly filled extinguishing agent tank, the extraction and filtering unit can also usually be put back into operation immediately.

This new fire extinguishing device ensures optimum damage limitation in case of fire.
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.
