We are pleased to announce that Fumex is among the winners of the German Design Awards 2024 for excellent product design in the industry category. The award goes to our extraction arm, FUMEX PSS, and the official award ceremony will take place in Frankfurt in January 2024.

The jury’s motivation reads:

“The modern ‘FUMEX PSS’ is an antistatic, food-safe and cleanroom-certified extraction arm that is also comfortable and easy to operate thanks to its lightweight construction.”

– It is an honor to receive this award. A well-deserved acknowledgment of our in-house industrial design team and engineering. At Fumex we have a strong focus on product development for better function and energy efficiency combined with aesthetics. We constantly work to improve our products and move the entire industry forward by setting new standards for safety, quality, and function. So, this award proves we are on the right path going forward, says Karima Kuschel, manager at Fumex Germany.

The award-winning FUMEX PSS is cleanroom-certified and made in high-gloss polished (Ra ≤0,6) acid-resistant steel to meet the highest sanitary and hygiene requirements. It also has our connection system FUMEX Q-MaiD™ to speed up and simplify maintenance, assembling, installation, and dismantling.

– Many industries face serious challenges regarding strict hygienic regulations. For instance, they must ensure worker safety and prevent cross-contamination and bacterial growth while keeping up the production rate. With FUMEX PSS, operators get an extraction arm that is easy to use and also meets the authorities’ requirements, says Karima.

Fumex officially launches the new FUMEX PSS, a food-safe extraction arm for industries with demanding hygiene requirements. The antistatic hose is equipped with our Q-MAiD quick hose connectors which are set to make PSS the most easily cleaned extraction arm in its market segment. The quick connectors also make for easy maintenance, assembly, installation, and disassembly.

– The PSS was originally designed to meet the high demands of the food and pharmaceutical industries. It still has a fully sealed profile, acid-resistant stainless steel and is assembled with few components, making it easy to handle. In this new version, we’ve added ATEX compatibility into the mix, says Lars Hedlund, Technical Manager at Fumex.

Food-grade and ATEX compliant

FUMEX PSS is ATEX compliant and meets the requirements of the ATEX directive for category 2 equipment for gas and dust, and it is suitable for use in zones 1 and 21 as well as 2 and 22. FUMEX PSS also has a food-grade certified hose and stainless steel gas spring.

– The exclusive use of food-graded materials along with ATEX makes the PSS perfect for industries and laboratories with highly set hygienic demands. Without a doubt, one of the best extraction arms on the market, says Lars Hedlund.

The term ”Food Grade” refers to the materials used in various types of equipment for the production of food or food-related products. To be defined as food grade, the materials must be non-toxic and safe for consumption.

External support arms

The extraction arm is designed on the fundamental Fumex principle of using external support arms, which produce the lowest possible pressure drop and pose little risk of
blockage.
