Suction Manifolds: Distributing Suction Evenly

Our suction manifold ensures an even distribution of airflow, supplying multiple extraction points simultaneously with the required suction power. It is ideal for use in centralized extraction systems and enables efficient capture of dust and contaminants.

With its robust construction, the suction manifold can be easily integrated into existing systems and customized to meet the specific requirements of your production environment. This enhances the efficiency of your extraction system and helps maintain a clean working environment.

RATEC suction manifolds, also known as extraction manifolds or dust collection manifolds, split the airflow of your extraction system evenly across several extraction points. Every workstation and every machine gets exactly the suction it needs, even when several points run at the same time or the system is extended later. We design every manifold for your system and build it at our own plant in St. Veit an der Glan, Austria.

How suction manifolds work

The suction manifold sits between the ducts of the individual extraction points and the main duct to the filter unit. It combines the branch flows and, thanks to matched cross-sections and connections, makes sure the suction is distributed evenly across all outlets. Together with butterfly valves, individual points can be switched on and off as required.

Your benefits

  • Even suction: every extraction point is supplied properly.
  • Several points at once: ideal for central vacuum systems.
  • Robust build: for continuous industrial use.
  • Retrofittable: easy to integrate into existing systems.

Custom-built by RATEC

We design suction manifolds to match your extraction points and, upon request, provide the complete extraction system, from consultation to commissioning. We manufacture at our own plant in Carinthia, certified according to ISO 9001, EN 1090-1, and ISO 3834-2.

Butterfly valves close off sections not currently in use, ensuring full suction power reaches active points. Only the combination of distributors and valves ensures uniform and economical extraction. RATEC provides both as a coordinated, single-source solution.

A suction manifold can have as many outlets as the system needs extraction points. What matters is that the cross-sections are matched so each point gets enough suction power. RATEC individually designs the number of outlets and cross-sections for your system.

Yes, if reserve connections are included during the planning phase, additional extraction points can be connected later. The fan and filter must also have sufficient reserve capacity. RATEC incorporates expansions into the design from the very beginning upon request.
