Exhaust extraction rails for mobile workstations
Exhaust extraction rails are particularly useful in areas where vehicles are moved along the length of a facility or where multiple workstations need to be served by a single flexible extraction point. A trolley guides the exhaust hose along the rail, thereby allowing significantly greater freedom of movement than a single, permanently installed extraction point.
Typical Applications
✔ Workshops and service facilities
✔ Fire stations and emergency response centers
✔ Testing and Diagnostics
✔ Vehicle depots
✔ Longer work areas with changing vehicle positions
Planning the Rail Length
The track should cover the actual required travel and working area. In addition to the length of the facility itself, vehicle positions, doors, columns, and potential obstacles must be taken into account. The position of the fan and the connection to the ductwork also influence the layout.
Here’s what you should look for when making your selection
✔ Required rail length
✔ Number of vehicles in use simultaneously
✔ Hose length and hose diameter
✔ Exhaust gas temperature
✔ Hall height and mounting points
✔ Fan capacity and system pressure drop
Rail, Hose, and Fan as a Complete System
The rail itself is only one part of the extraction system. For reliable extraction, the hose, trolley, pipe connection, fan, and vehicle connection must all be compatible. The actual flow rate available at the outlet pipe is crucial.
Selection Guide
| Criterion | Impact | Planning Note |
|---|---|---|
| Rail Length | Work Area | Comprehensively cover all vehicle positions |
| Carriage | Mobility | Select the appropriate size based on intended use and hose load |
| Hose | Range/Temperature | Take vehicles and exhaust emissions into account |
| fan | Extraction capacity | Design for the actual operating point |
FAQ
When is an exhaust extraction rail worth it?
This is especially true when there are multiple vehicle locations or longer travel distances within a facility.
Can multiple vehicles be vacuumed simultaneously using a single rail?
Depending on the system, yes. However, the simultaneous operation of the fan and the ductwork must be taken into account.
How important is the ceiling height?
This is very important, as it affects installation, hose length, and ergonomic accessibility.
Can a rail be extended later?
That depends on the specific system and the available fan and piping capacity.
Consulting on Exhaust Extraction Rails
The most important input data for planning include the length of the facility, vehicle movement, number of workstations, exhaust gas temperature, and desired hose reach.
