High Vacuum

When to Use High Vacuum

High vacuum (HV) ducting is specifically designed for applications that require strong suction rather than large volumes of airflow. Nordfab HV systems operate on the principle of high vacuum and low airflow to capture, transport, and filter dust and fumes that are difficult to handle with conventional systems.

Hight Vacuum ducting suits industries handling powders, granulates, and bulk materials, such as construction materials, chemicals, and food waste processing. HV dust extraction systems are particularly effective where contaminants must be captured close to the point of generation

Common HV applications include:

On-torch welding fume extraction,

On-tool dust extraction for handheld grinding and similar equipment,

Industrial housekeeping and central vacuum-cleaning systems,

Transport of heavy, abrasive, or difficult-to-handle materials,

Extraction systems handling powders, granulates, and bulk solids,

Construction materials, chemical processing, recycling operations, and food waste processing facilities.

By selecting a ducting system designed for the specific demands of the application, plant managers and engineers can reduce operational risks, improve air quality, minimise maintenance issues, and achieve more efficient process ventilation performance.

Strong, sealed design allows efficient transport and filtration of heavy or fine materials, improving air quality and operational safety. Durable galvanised or stainless‑steel construction ensures reliability in harsh or hygienic settings, making Nordfab High Vacuum a perfect fit for bulk solids processing and recycling operations.

High vacuum — high performance

High vacuum dust extraction systems are designed for industries handling powders, granulates, and bulk materials, such as construction materials, chemicals, and food waste processing. High vacuum ducting excel in demanding environments where precise extraction is needed to remove welding fumes, grinding dust, spilled powders, and abrasive particles. Strong, sealed design allows efficient transport and filtration of heavy or fine materials, improving air quality and operational safety. Durable galvanised or stainless‑steel construction ensures reliability in harsh or hygienic settings, making Nordfab High Vacuum a perfect fit for bulk solids processing and recycling operations.
