Safety for People, Processes, and Facilities
In the manufacturing, processing, and handling of explosive materials, safety and process stability are the top priorities. Depending on the specific properties of the substances involved, even minor mechanical, thermal, or electrostatic influences can trigger an unintended reaction.
Extraction systems help capture dust and process emissions directly at the source, preventing the accumulation of deposits within the production area. At the same time, the entire technical installation must be designed to ensure that it does not itself introduce any additional risks to the process.
Keller Lufttechnik develops customized extraction solutions for safety-critical applications. From the initial planning phase, the properties of the substances, the production process, and all safety requirements are taken into account to ensure reliable and secure emission capture.
Typical applications
Our extraction solutions are used in applications including:
- Manufacturing and processing of explosives
- Production of ammunition and propellants
- Mixing, dosing, and pressing processes
- Filling and packaging systems
- Laboratory and development areas
- Cleaning and maintenance workstations
- Manufacturing of propellant charges (for ammunition or airbags)
Customized solutions for the highest security requirements
Every process places unique demands on extraction technology.
For this reason, Keller Lufttechnik develops customized solutions tailored to the specific properties of the materials involved and the particular production conditions.
Key focus areas include:
- Reliable capture of dust and emissions
- Prevention of dust accumulation
- Electrostatic safety in system design
- Appropriate airflow management and gentle material handling
- High system availability and process reliability
- Compliance with legal and operational safety requirements
Suitable separation technology
Depending on the application and material properties, various separation methods are employed—such as dry or wet separators, as well as bespoke, specialized solutions. The selection is always based on the safety and process-engineering requirements of the specific operation.
