Extraction system in formwork construction

Why an extraction system?

This concrete plant uses formwork made of coated and uncoated wood. Naturally, wood shavings and dust are produced. However, it's not a given that the health of the employees and machinery should suffer as a result. Our extraction system offers optimal performance for formwork construction.

Our solution

The proven AL-KO POWER UNIT is also used in this case with an extensive piping system. And it offers many advantages, including:

Health and safety at work : An extraction system in formwork construction helps minimize wood dust and shavings, which are harmful to health. Unfortunately, this is a very underestimated risk, as wood dust can not only cause respiratory illnesses and inflammation – it is even carcinogenic. Effective extraction therefore reliably removes the particles from the air and reduces the risk of health problems, thus creating a healthier working environment.

Clean working environment : Using an extraction system in formwork construction ensures a cleaner working environment. Wood dust and shavings are extracted directly at the source and not dispersed into the surrounding area. A cleaner working environment also promotes efficiency, can improve product quality, and protect machinery by preventing contamination.

Fire protection : Wood dust can pose a significant fire risk. An extraction system in formwork construction minimizes the accumulation of wood dust in the surrounding area, thus reducing the risk of fires or explosive dust ignitions. Continuous extraction ensures that wood dust does not accumulate in large quantities, thereby increasing fire safety on the construction site. This is particularly important to guarantee the safety of employees, equipment, and the entire operation.
