The relevant technical drawings and diagrams are decisive for the specific design, dimensions and arrangement of individual structural elements.

RECUBOX® OPEN RX 04/500

RECUBOX® OPEN represents a modular heat recovery system solution offering a high degree of flexibility in the final ventilation system. Unlike conventional compact heat recovery units, the fans are not permanently integrated into the RECUBOX® casing – they are installed separately directly in the ductwork, just like the other system components.

This allows the fan output, control, filtration, silencers, heaters, dampers, BY-PASS and other accessories to be designed precisely according to the specific installation. The result is long service life, easy maintenance, simple replacement of individual components and the possibility of future system expansion or modernisation.

Custom production in the Czech Republic

RECUBOXES® are manufactured entirely in the Czech Republic according to the customer’s exact requirements. We use high-quality polypropylene materials from SIMONA AG and professional hot-gas welding technology using equipment from Leister AG.

RECUBOX production in the RekupeX workshop Custom RECUBOX production RECUBOX workshop manufacturing

Each RECUBOX® is created as a carefully manufactured technical product with an emphasis on precision, airtightness, long service life and the possibility of adaptation to a specific installation.

Airtightness and service access

Casing airtightness is essential for efficient operation of a heat recovery system. RECUBOX® is equipped with robust adjustable toggle latches that allow the pressure of the service door against the seal to be precisely adjusted.

This helps reduce unwanted infiltration of false air and allows the system to operate at the highest possible efficiency. At the same time, quick and convenient service access to the heat exchanger and the interior of the RECUBOX® is maintained.

RECUBOX® suspension and position of the toggle latches

Position of RECUBOX holders and adjustable toggle latches

At least 8 holders for threaded rods

In its standard configuration, RECUBOX® is equipped with at least eight structural holders with holes for threaded rods.

Their arrangement allows RECUBOX® to be mounted:

  • to the ceiling using threaded rods,
  • to the wall using holders positioned at the rear wall of the RECUBOX®.

New position of adjustable latches from 2026

From 2026, all insulated RECUBOXES® are equipped with toggle latches with adjustable clamping pressure. The latches are positioned so that they do not protrude above the upper edge of the RECUBOX® and do not prevent installation of the unit directly against the ceiling.

Some older product photographs may still show the latches in their original position. On RECUBOXES® manufactured from 2026 onwards, their position no longer restricts installation directly against the ceiling.

Flanges with double-lip seals

RECUBOX metal flange with double-lip seal

RECUBOX® is equipped with high-quality connection flanges with double-lip seals.

The double-lip seal ensures a secure and airtight connection to the ventilation ductwork and helps reduce unwanted air leakage or infiltration at the connection point.

The duct connection is therefore quick, reliable and easily accessible for servicing.

CTU and RekupeX

Thanks to their robust construction, high quality and hygienic safety, our RECUBOXES® are part of a number of CTU projects, including the unique S.A.W.E.R. system developed by UCEEB for extracting drinking water from air.

Main advantages of RECUBOXES®

Easy removal of the heat exchanger from RECUBOX Easy heat exchanger removal
The heat exchanger can be removed from the RECUBOX® simply and quickly, practically in a single movement. This significantly simplifies regular inspection, maintenance and cleaning.
Maximum hygiene Maximum hygiene
The removable heat exchanger allows thorough cleaning of both the heat exchanger itself and the entire interior of the RECUBOX®. The design places emphasis on easy maintenance and a high level of operational hygiene.
Heat exchanger sealing Mechanical sealing of the heat exchanger
The heat exchanger is sealed inside the RECUBOX® using a seal inserted into a groove, without the use of adhesives or conventional self-adhesive sealing tapes. The heat exchanger can therefore be easily removed and reinstalled. The seal can also be easily replaced if necessary.
No screws, rivets or adhesives No screws, rivets or structural adhesives
The RECUBOX® casing is made from a single type of material using hot-gas welding technology. This results in strong, homogeneous and airtight joints without the risk of corrosion of conventional metal fasteners or gradual degradation of bonded structural joints.
Wide range of RECUBOX sizes Wide range of sizes
RECUBOXES® are manufactured in a wide range of dimensions and performance variants. Thanks to the custom design, a suitable solution can also be created for installations with limited space.
Designed for counterflow heat exchangers Designed for counterflow heat exchangers
RECUBOX® OPEN units are designed for a wide range of counterflow heat exchangers and their specific construction is always adapted to the installed heat exchanger type.
Wide performance range Wide performance range
The RECUBOX® product range allows systems to be designed from small residential applications up to large ventilation systems with airflow rates in the thousands of m³/h.
Option to connect an ioniser Option to connect an ioniser
Depending on the requirements of the specific installation, the system can be supplemented, for example, with a MALAPA IN03 ioniser or other ventilation components.
Variable port positioning Maximum flexibility
The position of the inlet and outlet ports can be adapted to the specific project, duct routing, required duct diameter and the available space in the plant room.
Mirrored RECUBOX configuration Mirrored configuration
A mirrored configuration is available for all suitable variants. The condensate drain uses a 1/2" threaded connection and, depending on the specific configuration, can be prepared in several positions.

12-year warranty on casing airtightness

We provide an extended 12-year warranty on the airtightness of RECUBOX® casings.

The casing is made of high-quality polypropylene and joined using hot-gas welding, creating homogeneous, strong and long-term stable joints without the risk of corrosion or gradual separation of structural joints.

Unlike constructions using bonded joints, rivets, sealing tapes or combinations of different materials, RECUBOX® retains its airtightness and mechanical resistance even after many years of operation.

Additional practical advantages

Easy RECUBOX installation Easy installation
Installation is simplified by at least eight prepared holders with holes for threaded rods. RECUBOX® can be suspended from the ceiling or fixed to a wall using the holders at its rear wall.
Large-area RECUBOX filters Large-area filters
The large filtration area helps reduce airflow velocity through the filter medium and limits pressure drop. The filter frames also allow easy replacement of the filter medium. In its standard configuration, RECUBOX® is equipped with M5 filter fabric.
RECUBOX BY-PASS BY-PASS
The BY-PASS is available as a separate bypass section or as an integrated solution with manual operation or preparation for an actuator. The BY-PASS shaft diameter is 14 mm.

Thermal insulation and double casing

Double casing and RECUBOX insulation

RECUBOX® can be ordered without thermal insulation or with insulation 30 or 50 mm thick.

In the insulated version, the thermal insulation is hermetically sealed between two polypropylene casings. In addition to the insulation material, a second 5 mm PP casing is therefore added, protecting the insulation and creating a compact structural unit.

Optional preparation for sensors and electrical installation

RECUBOX® OPEN can optionally be supplemented with extended preparation for measurement, cabling and safe electrical installation.

This configuration, which is included as standard in the RECUBOX® VENT-READY range, simplifies the installation of sensors, cable routing, fan connection and future servicing or system expansion.

The optional preparation must be selected during the ordering process or specified in the order notes.

Service access and BY-PASS dimensions

RECUBOX service access

Service access – dimension E

Sufficient space must be left in front of the RECUBOX® service door to allow the heat exchanger to be pulled out of the module.

E = C − 60 mm

Integrated BY-PASS – dimension F

The integrated BY-PASS is located behind the heat exchanger and increases the overall depth of the RECUBOX® by approximately one third of the basic depth.

F = 1/3 × C

The BY-PASS opens a bypass route for fresh air around the heat exchanger with a very low pressure drop.

In this configuration, opening the BY-PASS does not close the airflow path through the heat exchanger. However, due to the significantly lower pressure drop of the open bypass route, the amount of air passing through the heat exchanger is minimised.

Custom configuration

RECUBOX® is manufactured according to the selected configuration. The position and diameter of the connection ports, orientation of the service door, position of the condensate drain, insulation method, BY-PASS configuration and other structural details can be adapted to the specific installation.

If the selected configuration cannot be technically implemented or if another solution would be more suitable, we will contact you before production begins.

Excellent product meets outstanding support and service.

I can recommend RekupeX without reservation, as I am personally very satisfied with the price-performance ratio and, above all, with the quality.

My review refers to their metal enthalpy heat exchanger.

Rolf Schernes

The RECUBOX® unit, as part of a ventilation system for heat removal from a laboratory room with a vacuum soldering furnace, is finally installed in time and does its work as planned and calculated, also thanks to the excellent support from the RekupeX team.

We no longer need any additional heating equipment for the room or for room ventilation.
