 FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS OF OUR VACUUM SYSTEMS
The construction of our high-quality vacuum systems
is based on a modular design. This allows us to
implement virtually any request, be it dust class M
or H, a Zone 22-compliant design type, or a simple
low-dust or secure contamination-free emptying.
Our services range from mobile solutions to com-
