A well-planned and professionally installed extraction system is the foundation for effective dust and particle removal in workshops, production halls, and industrial applications. This guide will show you how to professionally implement a system with flared pipes – from planning to commissioning.
1. Planning your extraction system
Before you begin installation, careful planning is crucial. This is the only way to create an efficient and expandable system.
1.1 What is extracted – and where?
- Which machines need to be connected?
- What kind of dust is created (wood, metal, plastic)?
- How far is the distance to the filter unit?

2. Select the appropriate components Extraction system
The success of your system depends directly on the quality and precision fit of the components. The flared tube is a particular focus here.
2.1 Flared tubes – the basis of every system
Flared pipes are durable, robust, and easy-to-install pipes with a flared edge. They can be inserted over socket connections and securely sealed with clamps.

Advantages of flared tubes:
- Fast assembly without welding
- Sealed by plug connection with sleeve
- Highly resilient and dimensionally stable
- Reusable for conversion or extension
2.2 Suitable branches for flared pipes
Branches are created using T-pieces or Y-pieces with flanged edges. Ensure the correct diameter (e.g., D = 100 mm) and inclination angle (e.g., 45° for optimal airflow).
2.3 Tension clamps – sealing made easy
Clamps secure flared pipes to the socket connections. Variants with butyl cement or PVC seals ensure particularly tight connections – even under negative pressure.
2.4 Pipe clamps with rubber insert for fastening
Pipe clamps with rubber inserts secure your flared pipes to the wall or ceiling without vibration, reducing noise and increasing stability.

3. Preparation for the installation of your extraction system
- Create dimension sketch (including machine locations)
- Planning pipe routing: prefer short, direct routes
- Prepare materials and tools
Tool list:
- Drill + screws
- Tape measure, spirit level
- Clamps, pipe clamps, telescopic pipes if necessary
4. Install the extraction system – step by step
4.1 Laying flared pipes
- Start with the main line on the filter unit
- Lay the socket sides outwards
- Insert pipes into each other, attach clamps and tighten
4.2 Insert branches
- Plan branches early
- Install T-pieces or Y-branches at suitable locations
- Secure all transitions with clamps
4.3 Fastening pipes
- Place a pipe clamp every 1.5–2 m of pipe length
- Mount clamps vibration-free on walls or ceilings
- Rubber inserts dampen sound and relieve the pipe
5. System testing and commissioning of the extraction system
- Check all connections (visual & mechanical)
- Carry out a test run → check the air flow
- Repair leaks immediately
6. Expansion and maintenance of your extraction system
6.1 Flexible thanks to sleeve technology
Flared tube systems can be expanded modularly – perfect for machine changes or production growth.
6.2 Regular maintenance
- Check that the clamps are tight
- Clean pipe connections
- Check clamps for material fatigue
7. Avoid common mistakes in your extraction system
❌ Flared pipes installed incorrectly → leaks
❌ Transitions not sealed → loss of suction power
❌ Too many tight bends → turbulence
❌ No sound insulation → noise and vibrations
✅ With flared pipes, clamps and precisely fitting components you can reliably avoid these problems.
