INRV in stainless steel –
With EX protection concept against fine dusts in laser packaging labelling

In accordance with last year's revised version of the EU directive on packaging and packaging waste, the amount of disposable and non-degradable packaging will be reduced radically or will disappear completely, which will have a great impact on some branches, especially the food and cosmetic industries.
 
Paper packaging as al alternative, however, may consist of a material compound, in addition to mere paper or cardboard, which presents new challenges with regard to tagging or labelling.. Labelling with laser technology is seen as the ideal option but creates new problems such as fine dusts.
 
Fuchs Umwelttechnik offers the solution as active support for all markets in this transformation.


In response to the high emission volumes of explosive cellulose fibres and biodegradable plastics from the composite materials, we designed the optimum device system: high-performance dust extractors of the INRV series.

Made of stainless steel with a glass bead-blasted surface, these INRV devices can also be used in the vicinity of foodstuffs.


Fire and explosion protection – we have thought of everything


The following points show the importance that we attached to protecting man and machine:

  • The EX protection concept with the completely dissipative design
  • The flameless explosion venting against uncontrolled interior dust explosions
  • Explosion decoupling of the piping
  • The explosion pressure-proof disposal unit thanks to a rotary valve

Optionally, an extinguishing device can be integrated to additionally extend the protection concept and minimise residual risks.


What performance do you need? We will supply it!

With a maximum 3,720 m³/h at a static pressing of 9,000 Pa, our most powerful version can handle even difficult conditions such as very small acquisition sources and long pipelines perfectly.
A pre-filter and the main filter with class H13 separate and filter fine dusts and suspended matter highly efficiently.
The disposal of collected pollutants is safe, simple and low in contamination.


We use our special activated carbon or chemical absorber for gaseous emissions.


Thanks to many years of experience in the collection and filtering of fine dusts from composite materials, Fuchs Umwelttechnik is also the perfect partner for large-volume, explosive or inflammable emissions with their special know-how for professional solutions – such as the new INRV stainless steel.

INRVABE3.1 powdering module now available to fit TKFVA devices – added safety in the most compact device series with automatic filter cleaning!
With this new development, the INRVABE3.1 powdering module can also be operated easily on the most compact device series with automatic filter cleaning TKFVA – an efficient and low-cost fire protection solution that is specially adapted to smaller quantities of pollutants.
 

The conversion unit was developed at the request of a customer who is already equipped with numerous TKFVA devices. For their sensor production, they required additional safety measures against the reactive dusts of CrNi steels and titanium. Since the INRVABE3.1 powdering module is designed exclusively for the higher emission quantities of the MKFVA and INRV device types, the consequence would be an expensive total replacement of the extraction and filtering units. Economically, this is no option and not at all what we have in mind.

 

To meet our customers' requirements, our engineers therefore designed the TKFVAÜG6 conversion unit especially for the appropriate performance data of the most compact device series with automatic filter cleaning TKFVA. With this, the INRVABE3.1 powdering module can now also be used for smaller emission quantities.

 

Sophisticated in every detail:

 

  • Constant discharge through a chute into a 20-litre barrel by optimum positioning to the TKFVA, even during operation
  • The powdering has been parametrised exactly for the smaller emission quantities
  • A pinch valve is no longer required for the activation
  • PE-film in the barrel for contamination-free disposal
  • Barrel emptying by a quick clamp offline

 

With the new TKFVAÜG6 conversion unit, our customers now have a complete safety solution especially for smaller emission quantities at their disposal which can easily be integrated into existing systems.

Successful fair appearance of Pantron and Fuchs Umwelttechnik at the Southtec 2025, USA
This year's Southtec in Greenville, South Carolina, was again one of the most important trade fairs for manufacturing and production technology in the Southeast of the USA. Together, the sales partners Pantron and Fuchs Umwelttechnik presented innovative systems for industrial extraction and filtering technology – with remarkable success.

Great interest in the TKFVA300 and cyclone pre-separator
The Pantron/Fuchs Umwelttechnik fair booth was a magnet for the professional visitors. Special focus was placed on our latest new developments: the compact TKFVA300 extraction and filtering unit and the cyclone pre-separator. Both systems were convincing in their technical design, their high quality, and their practical possibilities for use in many different industrial applications.

Many concrete customer inquiries from the region
Numerous companies in North and South Carolina took the opportunity to find out about tailor-made extraction and filtering solutions for their specific applications with concrete inquiries on site. Further appointments to visit the companies were arranged during the fair – a clear indication of the great interest in the performance capabilities of our extraction and filtering systems.

Outlook for the Southtec 2027
Following this successful fair appearance, Pantron and Fuchs Umwelttechnik would like to thank all visitors for their keen interest. The joint team is already looking forward to the Southtec 2027.
