What makes the KSE 3.0 so special?
Unique lining options: Transparent PFA or conductive PFA-L – both certified according to TA-Luft, with PFA-L additionally FDA-compliant.
Maximum safety: CFD-optimized flow design, FEM-based construction, and a labyrinth seal that remains permanently tight – without retightening.
Low maintenance & retrofit-capable: Fewer components and identical installation dimensions make the KSE 3.0 particularly easy to install.
The KSE 3.0 is not only a technical masterpiece but also a reflection of our innovative strength and customer focus. It was developed through close collaboration between engineering, product management, and customer service – fully aligned with our strategic vision: “Innovate With Speed” and “Multiply Our Impact.”
