RATEC extraction hoods capture dust and fumes precisely at machines, plants and workstations where the source stays in one fixed place. We shape and size every hood exactly to the point of emission, so that as little contamination as possible escapes into the surroundings. We build them from stainless steel, aluminium or plastic at our own plant in St. Veit an der Glan, Austria.

How extraction hoods work
The hood encloses the point of emission as far as possible and is connected to the extraction system by a duct connection. Negative pressure draws the contaminated air into the hood and carries it to the filter. The more closely the hood encloses the source, the less air is needed and the more reliably the contaminants are captured. Transparent plastic versions keep the process in view.
Materials
| Material | Typical application |
|---|---|
| stainless steel | food, pharma, corrosive or hot environments |
| Aluminium | lightweight hoods, easy installation |
| Plastic | transparent hoods with a view of the process |
Your benefits
- Tailor-made: shape and size exactly matched to the point of emission.
- Effective: dust and fumes are captured right at the source.
- The right material: stainless steel, aluminium or plastic, depending on the environment.
- Easy to connect: to a filter unit or central extraction system.
A good match
For mobile or changing workstations, our extraction arms are ideal. The extracted air is cleaned by cartridge filters or a central vacuum system. We manufacture in our own plant in Carinthia, certified to ISO 9001, EN 1090-1 and ISO 3834-2.
