- Function: Separation of large amounts of material before the vacuum cleaner
- Benefits: Significantly reduced filter loading and more stable suction performance
- Application: Dust, chips, and liquids generated in industrial processes
- System: Upstream component within RUWAC extraction systems
- Process advantage: Early separation of the material flow instead of downstream filtration
- Safety: Controlled material flow reduces strain and risks within the system
- ROI: Longer service life, less maintenance, lower operating costs
pre-separator
Disconnected upstream of the suction unit. Noticeably reduced load during operation.
Pre-separation systems separate large quantities of material before it reaches the vacuum cleaner. This reduces the load on filters and equipment—and stabilizes the extraction process throughout operation. It is not the component itself that matters, but its position in the system: material is directed early on rather than filtered later. Different principles are used depending on the application. Large-volume systems are available for bulky materials such as lint or cutting scraps. Cyclone solutions enable continuous separation—even under increased requirements such as DustEx. Pre-separator tanks cover a wide range of media, from dry to liquid. Pre-filter cells are designed for coarse, long-fiber, or textured materials. This results not in a standard product, but in a customized system solution tailored to the specific material flow.
Pre-separation systems have different design variants depending on the material, volume, and process. What matters is not the design itself, but how it directs the material flow and reduces the load on the downstream system.
Container systems flexibly accommodate large volumes and enable simple emptying concepts. Cyclone solutions continuously separate material from the air stream and are suitable for steady-state processes with high throughput. Pre-filter cells are designed for coarse, long-fiber, or structured materials and create stable conditions when handling difficult-to-suction materials. Systems such as the DAV-SB are designed for voluminous materials and ensure that large quantities of material can be collected in a controlled manner.
This results in a coordinated overall system composed of different designs—not as a standard solution, but tailored to the specific application.
Principle over design
- What matters is the function within the process, not the external design variant.
Designed to match the material
- Volume, structure, and properties determine the appropriate solution.
Designed as a system
- Each design fits into the overall process and specifically reduces the load on downstream components.
