Introduction Naaykens

Naaykens’ is a family-owned company with more than 75 years of knowledge and experience in the design, manufacture, maintenance and replacement of industrial fans, filters and exhaust systems.

We develop and manufacture products essential to the manufacturing industry. From powering the cookers of the largest coffee bean roaster or for the food sector to extraction systems for the pharmaceutical industry and complete turnkey blasting solutions.

We have been doing this successfully for more than 75 years. We are growing and happy to invest in the future.

We design and manufacture seriously large fans and extractors for the process industry. An enormously versatile company. Wherever possible, we work with standard, in-house developed components, where it is necessary we engineer and produce customised solutions.

A video says more than 1000 words, we proudly produced this large all-stainless steel filter installation!

Authenticity and professionalism

Naaykens is a close-knit group of colleagues with broad technical experience and knowledge. Naaykens’ culture is characterised by Brabant conviviality and an open culture. Typical are the job nights when the factory is available for things employees want to do themselves. Colleagues help each other with laser cutting steel, welding or with the CNC milling or turning machines to realise their own hobby projects. For the employee, we are a company where you are seriously challenged technically and work on a concrete end product. An environment where, as an employee, you are involved from start to delivery to the customer.

A valued partner, Straaltechniek International B.V., has been purchasing dust extraction systems from Naaykens for decades. The company specialises in the international sales, engineering and assembly of shot blasting and spray painting installations in the metal and construction industry. 

  • Naaykens is a family business;
  • We produce as much as possible ourselves;
  • We are big enough to deliver;
  • We are small enough to deliver quickly. To stay personal.

This is something we are proud of!

Dust extraction and dedusting

Industrial filters and separators (cyclones) for dedusting process air and filtering dust-contaminated air. Stand-alone or with complete piping. Naaykens Luchttechnische Apparatenbouw designs, manufactures and installs complete dust and fume extraction systems.

For the separation of dust from the air flow, various types of filters have been developed by our own RD department: Mechanical or compressed air cleaned filters with hoses, cartridges or cassettes as filter elements. Depending on the type of dust, our engineers select, configure and prepare a filter optimal for your production process. Cyclones are also used in an extraction system to separate large amounts of dust or product. Specific applications include: pre-separator for a fabric filter or in product recycling plants.

Read more about cyclones here or here about different types of extractors.

Examples of various fans previously supplied by Naaykens’. Above are larger axial fans, below are high-pressure fans.

Fans: engineering and manufacturing

Naaykens’ is the specialist when it comes to industrial fans. For each branch of industry, we can supply a customer-specific, as well as a standard fan that meets all your requirements. Naaykens’ fans are known in the industry for their long life, high reliability, high efficiency and low maintenance costs. The fans are manufactured with the greatest care in our own factory in Tilburg, from various types of (stainless) steel and alloys.

The optimum fan is selected from 20 different fan series using a computer selection program. Noise requirements often play an important role here; silencers, sound insulation on the fan housing or a complete sound-insulating housing are also part of the delivery program.

Not only is Naaykens there for you for new fans, but certainly also for maintenance and overhaul of your existing industrial fans. Our thorough knowledge and years of experience with fans make us the perfect partner for you. We are also specialized in replacing and overhaul of parts or complete fans.

We manufacture Industrial fans for a wide variety of applications for every industry. Naaykens’ supplies both centrifugal fans as axial fans, standard or custom made.

Air technology in very extreme and demanding environments

Naaykens is always there for YOU, even in the most extreme environments:

  • For higher temperatures (up to 800° C) made of heat-resistant steel;
  • For aggressive gases manufactured from stainless steel or specially coated;
  • For high dust concentrations; impeller and housing fitted with wear plates,
  • In gas-tight, spark-free and ATEX versions.

Responding to current and known future requirements for indoor and outdoor climate, safety and noise technical requirements.

Customisation and series production

We supply very large fans or filters with flow rates of 200,000 m3/hour; but also series of 20 fans of 10,000 m3/hour each.

Partner of Straaltechniek and major multinationals, ISO 9001 certification;

We work together with very large multinationals and the major Dutch industrial giants, such as VDL. We are therefore familiar with audits by the major Notified Bodies, such as DNV and SGS.

We are proud of a far-reaching integration with our partner Straaltechniek. Staffing in all our departments has become more comprehensive. New talent is being invested in, with intensive coaching.

Naturally, we are ISO 9001 certified, as well as some other certifications that are industry- or customer-specific.

Markets

Naaykens manufactures fans and exhaust systems for various industries: Food, petrochemical, recycling, you name it. Read more about the specific markets we are strong in here.

Mechanical Design Engineering and Process Engineering

The basis for the design data is formed by more than 75 years of experience in the field of Air Technology. Analytically, we can explain to you the basic formulas of applied Air Engineering, with references to the literature. But also the first CFD analysis and simulations for customer-oriented solutions have already been made.

The in-house engineering department, supported by state-of-the-art automation, with extensive automation in our design package Inventor, guarantees optimal results. Integration of the design environment with the production environment is in full swing.

In-house production

Where other companies have outsourced in recent decades, Naaykens has deliberately chosen a different strategy. Production Your fan or extractor takes place on state-of-the-art (CNC) machines at our own facility in Tilburg. We have been using a fully automatic state-of-the-art laser cutting machine since 2022. Here, we can cut up to 25 mm Steel or up to 20 mm RVS on a bed of 3000 x 1500 mm. We can even laser cut tubes. Of course, we are not afraid to outsource, if necessary. But one thing is clear: our delivery flexibility has been greatly increased by the installation of the laser cutter.

Plans Production environment 2023 and 2024

We are going to integrate a large blast hall (6 x 6 x 5) into our production in Q1 2023. We can do this ourselves, of course together with our partner www.straaltechniek.net. We will need less logistical movement in and around the company. It will also increase quality and reduce lead time. As Quick Response Manufacturing (QRM) so beautifully puts it: “reducing the white spaces” in the planning of your production order. Less waiting, faster lead times. More efficiency! Finally, this blasting hall will be a calling card for our partner. Look here for an impression.

We will also modernise our entire inventory management system to the latest technology in H1 2023.

(Very) short delivery times

Due to our policy on insourcing, our in-house production, our own engineers, our own mechanics and our ample inventory policy, we can often deliver extremely quickly. A customer recently put it aptly: “What normally takes weeks to complete, Naaykens finishes in days.”

Service and Assembly

Our company can also take care of the complete maintenance of extraction systems and fans installed at your premises. Periodic inspection and maintenance, using advanced equipment to measure bearing vibrations and, if necessary, balancing the fan on site, increase the operational reliability of your installation.

Read more about service, assembly and spares consumables here.

Rental

Are you in urgent need of an installation that we unexpectedly cannot deliver quickly or that you only need for a few weeks? Ask about the possibilities of renting. In cooperation with our partner www.straaltechniek.net we have a lot of possibilities to satisfy your urgent needs for extraction or process air change very quickly.

Proprietary product designs, patents and our own Intellectual Property

Our own products extend across the entire product portfolio.

  • The Naaykens industrial fan is characterised by its very robust construction. You can find fans of the same flow rate with plate thicknesses that are not even half our plate thicknesses. However, these will require faster maintenance, or vibrate more heavily. Fans from Naaykens are the industry’s choice in the most demanding environments.
  • Our unique Pat-Jet Easy Access filters are designed on (semi-) heavy duty applications. You get truly optimal value for money. Changing the filter cartridges is extremely easy and fast, noise pollution from jet-pulse cleaning is the lowest in the industry. Look here for more information about our filters.
  • Throw blasting with our GN throw wheels from www.straaltechniek.net has now become almost maintenance-free. These throw blast wheels were designed in close cooperation with Naaykens Luchttechniek. We have a very strong patent on this. It proves that we master all kinds of extreme disciplines within mechanical engineering very well. Special materials, metallurgy, tribology and wear resistance are “core business” for us.

CAD models of our Pat-Jet Easy Access filters – the modular design makes it very quick and easy to configure to what is needed.
