Did you ever think that your vacuum is ok?  And maybe all that's needed is a better filter?

Air Pulse Filter Bag #1

WHY DUST EXTRACTORS
LOSE SUCTION
WHEN CUTTING CONCRETE
AND HOW TO PREVENT EXPENSIVE FILTER FAILURE

Most contractors think their vacuum is too small.
Usually, that's not the problem.

When cutting, grinding, tuckpointing, or polishing concrete, the ultra-fine silica dust being created can overwhelm even expensive self-cleaning dust extractors.

Pour Dust Containment Frequent Filter Cleaning Lower Productivity Expensive HEPA Replacement

Self-Cleaning Air Pulse Filter Bag

The Good News Is:
There's a Simple Solution.

 

1 WHAT CAUSES SUCTION LOSS?

Dirty Cartridge Filter

FILTER BLINDING

THE RESULT

Poor Filter Performance Reduced Suction
Poor Filter Performance Poor Capture Performance
Poor Filter Performance More Filter Cleaning
Poor Filter Performance Lower Productivity
Poor Filter Performance Higher Filter Costs
  Most contractors assume:
  • The price of the vacuum relates to its performance 
  • Hose blockage
  • Tank is full

The actual cause is usually much simpler:

Silica dust is extremely fine.

As the dust reaches the vacuum's cartridge filter, it begins filling the microscopic openings in the filter media.

Airflow drops.
Suction drops.
Dust collection performance drops.

Eventually, the worker must stop and clean the filter.


2

WHY SELF-CLEANING
DUST EXTRACTORS STILL LOSE SUCTION

Most manufacturers advertise:

AUTOMATIC FILTER CLEANING

Unfortunately, there is a limitation.

Most portable silica dust extractors contain:

  • 8 - 17 gallon tanks

  • Small cartridge filters

  • Limited filter surface area

While reverse pulse cleaning helps, the filter is still being asked to process massive quantities of ultra-fine dust.

Decline of airflow through a cartridge filter.

Eventually the incoming dust exceeds the cleaning system's ability to keep up.

THE RESULT:  FILTER BLINDING STILL OCCURS.

THE BETTER SOLUTION:
STOP THE DUST BEFORE IT REACHES THE FILTER

Dust Source Air Pulse Vac Bag Cartridge Filter Vacuum Motor.
Instead of continuously cleaning a loaded cartridge filter, capture the majority of the dust before it reaches the cartridge.

THE HIDDEN COST OF HEPA FILTER REPLACEMENT

Most contractors focus on:  Vacuum purchase price

Few focus on:

Replacement HEPA filters
Lost Production Time
Downtime cleaning filters

Replacement Cost of a HEPA Filter.

A quality HEPA cartridge can cost significantly more than a filter bag.  $$$ Using a high-efficiency pre-filter bag dramatically  reduces filter loading and replacement frequency.

HOW THE AIR PULSE FILTER BAG WAS DEVELOPED Over 30 years ago, the masonry union approached me with a challenge:  Reduce worker exposure to airborne silica dust.

During the years of product development, I learned something many vacuum manufacturers still overlook:

"The vacuum filter system is often more important than the vacuum itself."

Air Pulse Filter Collection Bag:  Universal Fit w Superior Filtration & Durability.


That discovery led to the development of the Air Pulse Filter Bag.  Unlike generic paper or fleece bags, the Air Pulse Bag was specifically engineered for high-volume, maximum fill capacity without bursting or suction drop for silica dust applications.
