Engineered for durability, the HEPA filter is easy to install and replace, making maintenance simple and keeping your dust extractor running like new. Ideal for professional workshops or job sites where dust control is critical, this filter helps you meet high standards of cleanliness and safety.

What is HEPA?

HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) is a grade of mechanical air filtration capable of trapping extremely fine particles that standard filters miss. A HEPA H13 filter is designed to capture 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns, including fine sanding dust, mould spores, and allergens.

Where is it used? HEPA filters are standard in environments where air quality is critical. This filter is used as a final stage of "Triple Filtration" to ensure that the air exhausted from the dust extractor is cleaner than the air in the room, protecting you from inhaling microscopic debris.

How does it differ from H-Class? It is crucial to understand the difference between a filter and a machine classification:

• HEPA is the Filter: It is simply a component that screens out fine dust. Installing one improves your machine's filtration performance significantly.

• H-Class is the Certification: H-Class (High Risk) is a legal standard for an entire vacuum system. To be certified H-Class (required for Asbestos and Silica), a machine must have a HEPA filter plus a sealed motor unit, leak-proof casing, and mandatory airflow alarms that warn the user if suction drops.

• The Bottom Line: Adding this HEPA filter to your M-Class extractor makes it safer for wood and paint dust, but it does not legally convert the machine into an H-Class unit for hazardous waste removal.
