Modular wet filter-group "AS540/550" series for high-pressure extraction and filtration of sharpening dust.
AS Series modular wet filtration systems: maximum fire safety and efficiency in high-pressure industrial extraction.
The AS Series filter groups by ELPTEC are high-pressure extraction systems featuring three-stage filtration, specifically engineered for industrial applications where serious fire hazards are present. Backed by ELPTEC’s 30 years of expertise in industrial dust control and handling, this range implements a primary wet filtration stage that instantly inertizes extracted hot particles, metal burrs, or sparks. This advanced process prevents potential fire ignition inside the filter unit, protecting production line continuity, reducing plant maintenance costs, and outstandingly improving overall workplace safety.
Instant spark and particle inertization via primary wet scrubbing
Smart automated monitoring through built-in PLC control panel
Synchronized command and alarm signal exchange with the host machinery
