Fans
Generate the airflow required to move extracted air through the installation.

Solutions for demanding industrial processes
Industrial dust extraction is relevant far beyond a small number of defined industries.
Many production processes generate dust, fumes or other airborne contaminants that need to be captured and transported away from the working area.
These applications may not fit naturally into woodworking, agro, recycling, metalworking or paper production – but the underlying engineering principles remain the same.
The first step is to understand the process.
NEU-JKF Nordic works with industrial customers to identify where extraction is required and which combination of fans, filters, ducting and other components is appropriate for the application.
Start with what is being processed
The properties of the material strongly influence the extraction requirement.
Fine dry dust behaves differently from larger particles.
The production process can also change the way particles become airborne.
Understanding the material is therefore one of the first steps in developing an extraction solution.
Identify where dust is generated
The system should be built around the actual dust-generation points.
These may include:
- Production machines
- Transfer points
- Conveyors
- Mixing equipment
- Cutting processes
- Grinding processes
- Filling stations
- Material discharge points
Capturing dust close to the source is generally more effective than trying to control it after it has spread into the surrounding production area.
Understand how the production line operates
Extraction should not be designed independently of production.
It is important to understand:
- Which machines operate simultaneously
- How material moves through the plant
- How production varies during the day
- Where operators work
- Which areas require maintenance access
- How the extraction system connects to existing equipment
This helps determine the airflow and system layout.
Filters, separators and fans are selected and dimensioned together as one airflow path – from the extraction point to material discharge.
Illustrative rendersSelect the right components
Depending on the application, the extraction system may include:
Filters
Separate dust and particles from the air stream.
Cyclones and separators
Provide mechanical separation where appropriate.
Rotary valves
Discharge collected material from filters and separators.
Duct systems
Connect extraction points to the central equipment.
Special components
Some processes require additional equipment or adaptations around the standard system.
Standard components where possible
A tailored extraction solution does not necessarily mean that every component needs to be custom-made.
Where possible, established standard products can provide a reliable foundation.
The system design then focuses on combining and dimensioning these products correctly around the application.
This approach can simplify future maintenance and component replacement while still allowing the overall installation to be adapted to the production process.
When the application requires more
Some industrial processes cannot be solved simply by selecting a filter or fan from a catalogue.
Building layout, process equipment, dust characteristics or production requirements may require a more complete engineering approach.
In those situations, NEU-JKF Nordic can support the project from the early assessment of requirements through equipment selection, system design and implementation.
The objective is always the same:
Understand the process first, then build the extraction system around it.
