What PCK does

PCK B.V. is a Dutch industrial dust extraction specialist that designs, manufactures, installs, and maintains custom filtration systems for hazardous dust, fumes, and vapors generated in industrial production environments. Founded in 1986 and based in Udenhout with manufacturing in Hilvarenbeek, PCK was acquired in 2017 by Belgian peer Amotec stofafzuigingen, giving the combined group coverage of the Netherlands and Belgium markets. The company's primary verticals are wood processing (sawmills, joineries, furniture makers, prefab producers, interior construction) and plastics processing (PE packaging, film production), with secondary exposure to vocational education and adjacent dust-generating industries.

The core product line centers on modular filter cabinets: the VacuPack (vibration-motor cleaning) and VacuJet (compressed-air pulse cleaning, NEN-EN 16 770:2018 compliant) mobile underpressure filters handle 1,650–8,000 m³/hour, while modular sluice and chain filters extend coverage above 9,000 m³/hour. PCK's signature Cascade Dust Extraction System sequences multiple smaller 4 kW fans activated by underpressure measurement to avoid inrush current, match energy use to demand, and maintain operation if individual fans fail. Ancillary offerings include a briquetting press (60–70% volume reduction for wood dust) and the O²-Audit, an objective inspection service evaluating existing installations against fire/explosion safety legislation.

PCK runs a sales-led, enterprise field-sales go-to-market targeting B2B customers in the Benelux region. Revenue is generated through one-time project sales (custom engineering and installation), professional services (audits, installation), and recurring managed services (maintenance contracts and in-house replacement-part fabrication). Customer acquisition combines direct sales, website quote requests, word-of-mouth referrals, and an emerging digital motion including webinars, email marketing, and paid social. Pricing is bespoke per project and not publicly disclosed.

Products and services

• VacuPack Mobile Underpressure Filter Mobile underpressure filter unit with automatic filter sleeve cleaning via vibration motor, where the filter housing and extraction fan form one unit. Standard equipped with collection bins in underpressure, available with capacities from 1,650 m³/hour to 8,000 m³/hour. Designed for industrial dust extraction in wood processing and related industries.
• VacuJet Mobile Underpressure Filter Mobile underpressure filter unit with automatic filter sleeve cleaning via compressed air pulses, suitable for filtering difficult substances such as gypsum dust, fine dust, and stone dust. Complies with NEN-EN 16 770:2018 standard. Standard equipped with collection bins in underpressure, with capacities up to 8,000 m³/hour.
• Modular Airlock Filter (Sluisfilter) Modular filter unit where dust particles first enter a funnel-shaped pre-separation area at the bottom of the filter. High-efficiency fans are built into the fan room at the top of the filter and can be thermally and acoustically insulated. Fans are cascaded and activated based on underpressure measurement. Available from 9,000 m³/hour capacity.
• Modular Chain Filter (Kettingfilter) Modular filter unit where a chain with scrapers at the bottom of the filter box gradually removes dust to a pressureless discharge airlock. Adjustable underpressure measurement controls fan activation based on machine demand. The drive mechanism includes a slip clutch to prevent damage.
• Cascade Dust Extraction System Energy-efficient dust extraction system using multiple small 4 kW fans in cascade arrangement instead of a single large fan. Fans activate one-by-one based on required capacity, eliminating costly inrush current at startup and using only necessary energy. If one fan fails, others continue operation, providing high operational reliability.
• O²-Audit Objective analysis service for evaluating dust extraction installations against fire and explosion safety legislation. Includes inspection of airflow, pipework, filter sleeves, dust extraction, fans, airlocks or chains, and all safety provisions. The customer receives an objective measurement report with improvement suggestions.
• Briquetting Press (Brikettenpers) Machine that compresses wood dust and shavings into briquettes, reducing storage volume by 60-70%. Enables indoor storage of material (unlike loose dust which must be stored outside due to fire hazard) and facilitates easier handling and disposal.
