Typhoon product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Typhoon designs, engineers, produces, installs, and maintains custom industrial installations combining air technology (dust extraction, pneumatic transport, air classification, process filtration) and solids handling (bulk transport, silo storage, dosing, weighing). All solutions are tailored to each customer's specific production environment and integrated end-to-end under a single partner relationship from concept through commissioning and aftermarket service.
Product overview
Typhoon is an industrial air and process technology company specializing in two core product lines: Air Technology and Solids Handling. Air Technology encompasses dust extraction, exhaust extraction, air classifiers, zigzag classifiers, material transfer systems, smoke and fume extraction, active carbon solutions, and process filtration. Solids Handling covers receiving and unloading, storage and buffering, mechanical and pneumatic transport, dosing and weighing, and process integration. The company also produces specialized components including Downflow Jet Filters, Dynamic Condensers, and Duvex systems. All solutions are custom-designed for specific industrial processes and sectors, with strong expertise in ATEX-compliant equipment for explosive environments.

Products and services
- Air Technology Installations Custom-designed industrial air and process technology installations covering dust extraction, exhaust extraction, air classifiers, zigzag classifiers, process filtration, and material transfer systems for controlling air and particle flows in production environments. Targeted at industrial manufacturers across food, recycling, wood, plastics, minerals, insulation, flax, biomass, paper, and agricultural sectors.
- Solids Handling Installations Custom-engineered bulk handling and processing installations covering intake and emptying, dosing and weighing, sifting and screening, milling and grinding, silo and storage, and mechanical and pneumatic conveying and handling. Designed to integrate the various phases of an industrial customer's production process into one coherent flow.
- Downflow Jet Filter Central underpressure filter featuring downward airflow with jet pulse cleaning that continuously cleans filter sleeves without loss of capacity. Used as the core filtration unit in Typhoon's dust extraction installations across multiple industry sectors.
- Dynamic Condensors (Pre-separation Units) Dynamic separation units (voorafscheiding) deployed as pre-separation to remove coarse material and fibres from the air stream before it reaches the main filter. Reduces filter load, prevents blockages, and extends filter life in installations handling difficult materials such as flax, RDF, and carton.
- Pneumatic Conveying Systems Closed pneumatic transport systems for moving powders and granules through industrial processes, designed for product protection, minimal wear, energy efficiency, and maintenance ease. Available in standard and RVS/food-grade executions for food and feed industry compliance.
- Modular Vibra-filter Modular filter installation for industrial applications built from prefabricated elements. Provides flexible and compact design with scalability to fit a range of installation footprints and capacity requirements.
- Silo and Buffer Storage Systems Integrated silo storage and buffering solutions equipped with weigh cells and venting filters, designed for integration with pneumatic transport and downstream solids handling systems. Sized to customer production capacity and process stability requirements.
- Aftermarket Maintenance and Spare Parts Services Ongoing maintenance, spare parts supply, upgrades, and process optimisation services for existing Typhoon installations. Provides recurring revenue from the installed base and supports long-term operation of custom-engineered systems.

Typhoon competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Nederman: Swedish-headquartered global leader in industrial air filtration, dust and fume extraction with a broadly comparable product portfolio (dust collectors, process filtration, pneumatic conveying components) and a direct overlap with Typhoon's core offering across similar industrial verticals.
- AAF Flanders: Global manufacturer of dust collection and air filtration systems serving many of the same industrial process environments (wood, recycling, food, minerals) that Typhoon targets, making it a direct competitor on engineered dust-extraction installations.
- Donaldson Company: US-listed industrial filtration specialist whose Torit dust-collection line and process filtration products compete head-on with Typhoon's dust extraction, air classification and process filtration systems across overlapping industrial segments.
- Bühler Group: Swiss process technology specialist for food, feed and advanced materials that provides pneumatic conveying, bulk handling, dosing and weighing solutions, closely mirroring Typhoon's Solids Handling product line, especially in food/feed verticals.
- AZO GmbH: German specialist in pneumatic conveying, silo systems, dosing and weighing for bulk materials, directly comparable to Typhoon's integrated solids handling and pneumatic transport installations across food, plastics and chemical-adjacent industries.
- Coperion: Germany/US-based manufacturer of compounding, extrusion and bulk material handling systems including pneumatic conveying and feeders, offering very similar engineered solutions to Typhoon for plastics, food and recycling customers.
- Hosokawa Micron: Japanese/European specialist in powder and particle processing — including milling, classification, drying, conveying and filtration — that addresses the same challenges of low-density, caking, fibrous materials that drive Typhoon's core solutions.
- Schenck Process: Global supplier of weighing, dosing, conveying and air filtration technologies for bulk solids handling, with clear overlap to Typhoon's dosing/weighing and process-filtration portfolio serving food, minerals and recycling customers.
Emerging players
- Filtermist International: UK-based specialist in oil mist and dust extraction for machining and industrial processes; smaller scale than Typhoon but with directly comparable air-extraction technology and an overlapping customer base in workshop and light-industrial environments.
- Volkmann: German niche manufacturer of pneumatic vacuum conveyors and bulk handling equipment for powders, particularly in food, pharma and chemicals — competing in a sub-segment of Typhoon's Solids Handling business with a more standardized product approach.
