New TKFDMOT - the automotive pre-separator

For the rough and the smooth

Developed with motorsport in mind, the new product can filter or separate emissions in different particle sizes, from coarse grit and gravel right through to the very finest dust. It is possible, for example, after driving on the gravel shoulder or during repair work on body parts made of composite materials, to vacuum off relatively large particles or chips with sharp edges which will ultimately pose a hazard for the microfilters.

In response to these problem cases, Fuchs Umwelttechnik developed its combination of pre-separator module and post-separation filter system. Large lumps are collected and screened out in the pre-separator module. Finer matter like dust particles or gases flow on unhindered into the downstream suction extractor and filter unit.

New TKFDMOTThe product is operated as normal and is simple to use thanks to the user-friendly trolley design. Additional integrated features, such as the Dyson hand-held vacuum cleaner for extra convenience and speed, or the deliberate use of aluminium to achieve a lightweight design enhance the usefulness of this product when it comes to maintaining health and safety in the workplace and keeping mobile workstations clean.

The Toyota Motorsport team has put this new and exceedingly mobile product to the acid test at the world-famous 24 Hours of Le Mans and has already announced its intention to purchase further units.

It can be retrofitted at any time on existing MKF and TKFD extraction and filter units supplied by Fuchs Umwelttechnik.

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.
