Valuable Dust

Industrial vacuums for Valuable Powder & Precious Material recovery

In many industrial processes, residues are not waste, but resources. Recovering valuable dust and precious materials makes it possible to turn production waste into profit by reintroducing materials such as rare metals, 3D printing powders, and pharmaceutical active ingredients into the production cycle. Delfin extraction solutions guarantee accurate separation and absolute filtration, improving plant profitability and meeting modern circular economy and sustainability requirements.

Precious metals:

  • gold
  • silver
  • platinum
  • palladium
  • rhodium

Technology and batteries:

  • 3D printing powders (titanium, Inconel)
  • battery powders (NMC, lithium)
  • rare earth elements
  • spent catalysts

High-value pharmaceutical powder:

  • expensive active ingredients (APIs)
  • high-value pigments
  • micronized pharmaceutical powders

Turn production waste into profit with advanced recovery systems

Gold, fine metal powders, and expensive active ingredients should not go to waste. Recover every gram of material and reintroduce it into your production cycle.

Regulations and standards for the circular economy

Recovering powders and processing residues is not only a technical choice, but a strategic decision aligned with European directives on circular economy and sustainability.
Transforming waste into value means improving process profitability, reducing waste, and building a more efficient and competitive industrial model.

Directive 2008/98/EC (WASTE FRAMEWORK DIRECTIVE)

This directive establishes the European waste hierarchy, prioritizing prevention, reuse, and recycling over disposal, and promoting industrial models based on material recovery and the valorization of recoverable fractions.

Regulation (EU) 2020/852 (European Taxonomy)

Defines the criteria for identifying sustainable economic activities, including the transition to a circular economy, waste reduction, and increased material recovery as key elements for mitigating environmental impact.

ISO 14001

Requires organizations to adopt an environmental management system geared towards continuous improvement, including waste reduction, emission control, and optimization of material recovery processes.

The ISO 59004 standard (Circular Economy)

Defines the principles and framework for integrating the circular economy into production models, promoting the design of processes that allow the recovery of process dust as a secondary raw material.

Technologies to maximize recovered value

To ensure optimal recovery of production residues, Delfin adopts systems designed to preserve the quality of the recovered raw material:

Absolute Filtration for Raw Material Recovery

Multi-stage absolute filtration systems for the capturing of high-value micro-dust, with efficiency up to 99.9995% (HEPA 14) both on material collected from surfaces or process machines and airborne dust. Designed to capture every fraction, from coarse particles to the finest micropowders, ensuring complete material recovery and its reintegration into regeneration or melting processes, maximizing its recoverable economic value.

Gastight technology

With Gastight technology, powders are extracted directly from the production process and reintroduced into the same cycle, preserving their physical and chemical characteristics. The system uses an inert gas as a transport medium, preventing contact with oxygen and avoiding oxidation, degradation, or loss of raw material performance. In a closed-cycle configuration, the powder is kept intact in a controlled environment and reintroduced into the process without alteration, ensuring maximum recovery. Ideal for applications involving air-sensitive, reactive, hazardous, or high-value powders, it ensures operational safety, quality protection, and production continuity.

FAQ: Recovery of valuable materials

Because it prevents contact with oxygen. In metal 3D printing powder recovery, Gastight technology prevents oxidation of the material, enabling immediate reuse.

Thanks to multi-stage filtration systems, up to 99.9995% (HEPA 14) of microparticles can be recovered, minimizing economic losses even for extremely fine materials.

Yes, the TECNOIL series is designed to separate metal chips from lubricating oils, allowing both materials to be reused in the production cycle.

We use pharmaceutical dust recovery systems designed to preserve the purity of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), ensuring compliance with hygiene standards and maximizing economic return.
