Industrial machine extraction
With machine extraction systems from Hengst, you can ensure clean, safe and efficient production. A central extraction system does not always make sense; our decentralized systems reliably separate pollutants directly at the machine - reducing your operating costs and increasing the availability of your systems. Regardless of the machine or application, we have the right solution for you.
We provide you with systems for capturing emissions directly at the source. This allows you to benefit from clean air, safe workplaces and smooth processes in your production. As an experienced partner to industry, Hengst offers you innovative filtration technology combined with practical solutions that have already proven successful in a wide range of industries.
Clean air directly at the machine
In modern production environments, many machines produce airborne emissions - be it oil and emulsion mist in metalworking, fine dust in the food industry, welding fumes or laser smoke in medical technology. These pollutants spread quickly in the hall, settle on surfaces and pollute both the air we breathe and the systems.
With Hengst machine extraction systems, these particles are captured directly at the source. This means that the air is cleaned before pollutants can even enter the working environment. This protects employees from health hazards and at the same time protects machines, products and buildings from contamination. In addition to direct machine extraction systems, Hengst also offers central extraction systems for companies with larger machinery.
A clean production area offers several benefits:
- Health and safety: Minimization of respiratory diseases and accident risks due to slippery oil films or dust deposits.
- Process stability: Fewer malfunctions on machines as sensors and workpieces remain clean and sensitive components work reliably.
- Less cleaning required: Reduced deposits on hall floors, lighting, electronics and infrastructure.
- Longer system service life: protection of sensitive components from dirt and corrosion.
Efficient and customizable systems
Every production process is unique, which is why Hengst extraction technology has a modular design. You benefit from systems that can be flexibly adapted to individual machines or entire production lines and grow with your requirements as needed.
The systems work reliably in continuous operation and combine high filtration efficiency with low energy consumption. Sophisticated air routing and modern filter controls ensure that oil mist, emulsion vapors, dust or smoke are safely removed.
Thanks to the robust design and long filter service life, maintenance costs are kept to a minimum. If your processes change, the systems can be easily expanded or retrofitted - even with ATEX protection for potentially explosive atmospheres on request.
A particular benefit for you: Hengst not only develops the technology, but also produces the appropriate filter inserts itself. This means you get everything from a single source - optimally coordinated, reliably available and of proven quality.
This results in solutions that ensure clean air today and are also designed for the future.

FAQ
What is a machine extraction system?
A machine extraction system is a filter system that is installed directly on production machines. It removes oil and emulsion mist, dust or smoke directly at the source, thus ensuring clean air, safe workplaces and reduced wear.
What dangers arise without extraction?
Without extraction, pollutants are released unhindered into the room air or the environment. This can lead to respiratory problems for employees, contaminate machines and increase the risk of fire or slipping in production. With certain dusts or aerosols, there is also a risk of explosion if they accumulate in the air. Legally compliant operation can often not be guaranteed without extraction.
What is the difference between machine and central extraction?
A machine extraction system is used directly on a single machine and works locally. A central extraction system, on the other hand, covers several machines simultaneously and usually extracts the exhaust air via a shared pipe system. Which solution is more suitable depends on the production environment and the number of machines.
What space requirements does a machine extraction system have?
The space requirements are low, as many systems are compact and can be installed directly on or next to the machine. For central solutions, additional space is required for the pipe system and the filter unit.
Does a machine extraction system work with CNC machines?
Yes, especially CNC machines with cooling lubricants produce oil and emulsion mist that must be reliably captured. Hengst offers specially adapted solutions for this, which also work reliably in continuous operation.
Machine extraction with mechanical vs. electrostatic filtration?
- Mechanical filtration systems use multi-stage filters and are particularly robust and easy to maintain.
- Electrostatic separators work with electric fields and achieve very high filtration efficiencies, even with the finest aerosols. They are particularly suitable for liquid aerosols such as pure oils.
Which variant makes sense depends on the process and the pollutants produced.
What happens to the extracted substances?
The captured particles are filtrated in the filter systems. Liquids such as oil or emulsions can be collected and partially recycled. Dust and solids are collected in filter media or collection containers.
How often do filters in a machine extraction system need to be changed?
The replacement intervals depend on the load and the area of application. With Hengst, you benefit from the fact that we manufacture our filters ourselves and match them perfectly to our systems. This enables you to achieve particularly long service lives and significantly reduce the number of replacements required. And when a change is due, it can be done quickly and easily thanks to the well thought-out system design - a clear benefit when it comes to an issue that is otherwise a real pain point for many customers.
Explosion protection - when is explosion protection required?
Explosion-proof extraction systems are necessary when potentially explosive atmospheres can occur - for example with certain dusts, gases or oils. In such cases, the systems must meet special safety requirements to ensure safe operation.
What health and safety requirements apply?
In Germany, the requirements of the DGUV, the Technical Rules for Hazardous Substances (TRGS) and industry-specific guidelines such as VDI 2262 apply. These specify limit values for air pollutants and prescribe the use of suitable extraction and filter systems. The Federal Immission Control Act and the corresponding administrative regulation "TA-Luft" apply to air that is discharged to the outside
To ensure that you meet these requirements, we will be happy to advise you personally and work with you to find the right solution for your production.
