Clean air for construction sites and workshops
The new SYS-AIR mobile air purifier from Festool – from October 2024
Festool is expanding its range with a new air purifier that filters harmful airborne dust from the air. Its compact Systainer format and low weight make it ideal for mobile and stationary applications. The new SYS-AIR A uses a powerful, two-stage filter system to comprehensively clean the air. This means that the smallest dust particles and other pollutants end up in the air purifier, and not in the lungs. This results in less cleaning effort, a cleaner environment and, ultimately, better air quality.
Fine dust particles often settle on surfaces, machines and the environment. Many people are aware of this, which means that, in this respect, awareness of clean working with dust extractors has changed a lot in recent years. More and more users appreciate being able to rely on good extraction directly on the power tool. Festool is one of the biggest suppliers of extractors in conjunction with power tools, and manufactures its own extractors at its site in Illertissen (near Ulm). Festool offers an extensive range of extractors, from small Systainer type extractors to larger models, in various dust classes and in mains-powered and cordless versions.
Festool has now added the
SYS-AIR air purifier to its extensive range of extractors. Despite professional
extraction, dust particles are released into the environment during daily
operations, particularly in applications that can only be extracted poorly or
not at all. With the new air purifier, Festool has created a complete system
for the best possible extraction results, both on the construction site and in the workshop. The air purifier filters and cleans the ambient air, thereby improving the air quality. This mean less cleaning effort, a cleaner environment and satisfied and enthusiastic customers, especially in mobile applications.
Simply clean – no matter where you are
Festool has designed its new air purifier in the practical, compact Systainer³ format. Its low weight makes it suitable for both mobile and stationary use. The new SYS-AIR is also easy to operate and can be regulated in two stages. A warning light signals the need to change the filter. If space is limited in the workshop, the practical ceiling bracket offers a safe and simple stationary solution. A particularly practical feature is that the filter can be changed very quickly and easily, without having to remove the SYS-AIR. Thanks to T-LOC, the SYS-AIR can be firmly locked into the ceiling bracket and removed again quickly for mobile use. This means total flexibility for use on the construction site or in the workshop. Festool has also designed a number of features especially for mobile use: Integration of the air purifier into a dust protection wall, as well as the option to connect several SYS-AIR air purifiers in series in large rooms.
Purified air for your health
Fine, invisible airborne dust remains in the air despite optimal extraction, especially when sanding, drilling or sawing. This fine dust can lead to lung and respiratory diseases or allergies. With a volume flow of up to 680 m³/h, the powerful SYS-AIR air purifier ensures high circulation, and thus filters harmful dust particles and other pollutants from the air. Festool has developed a special main filter in TripleV form to create a particularly large filter surface. This means the filter takes longer to become clogged, and therefore lasts longer. The main filter is available in dust class M and H. This means the entire workforce can work with improved focus, productivity and, ultimately, health in the long term thanks to clean air.
Optimal dust collection with dust protection wall
A dust protection wall in conjunction with a construction air purifier is suitable for preventing dust and dirt from getting outside the work area. A vacuum is generated, dust is guided out of the room in a targeted manner and the air quality in the work area is consequently improved. An added advantage is that the surrounding rooms remain free of dust. Festool has developed the air purifier such that it is easy to install in a dust protection wall. The flexible, six-metre-long hose (accessory) can be positioned directly at the dust source for targeted dust collection. This reduces the dispersion of dust particles in the room. Targeted dust collection ensures that dust is kept out of hard-to-reach areas or small rooms.
The new SYS-AIR air purifier will be available at specialist retailers from October. Visit festool.co.uk for more information.
