Schuko Vacomat - 140/160 XP e

Vacomat 140/160 XP und 140/160 XPe

The Vacomat 140/160 XP(e) mobile dust extractor is our smallest model and is ideal for single-machine extraction. Airflows of up to 1,593 m³/h are possible with this negative pressure extraction unit, e.g. for dust extraction from panel saws, planers or thicknessers.

In the standard version extraction is started by hand with the push of a button. Automatic fan start-up upon switch-on of the connected machine tool can be installed upon request to avoid operating errors such as not switching the extraction on when there is a load or switching it on when there is no load.

The dust and chips are discharged to a dust-tight chip collection tank (240 l) lined with a plastic sack. A negative pressure duct holds the film sack in place in the collection tank. Inspection windows are provided for level checking. The mobile dust extractor monitors the extraction performance via a load cell to ensure maximum operational reliability.

Filter regeneration – XP or XPe?
Filters in the Vacomat 140/160 XP are cleaned by a combined pneumatic and mechanical action. Dust and chips are expelled gently from the filter in a patented ‘shake-off’ process when a compressed air supply is connected. The regeneration mechanism is activated manually when the dust extractor is off.

In the Vacomat 140/160 XPe an integrated switchgear cabinet is used for electromechanical cleaning via a shaker motor. Activation occurs via querying of the woodworking machine via floating contacts. As soon as all connected machines are off the motorised filter shaker starts automatically. For this regeneration mechanism no connection to a compressed air supply and hence no compressor is needed. This leads to a significant reduction in noise during cleaning.

Recommended particularly for very high and very fine dust contents, an efficient pressure surge cleaning system (XP-D or XPe-D) is optionally available (NOTE: overall height then +100 mm and length +350 mm). Cleaning is carried out offline via the compressed air tank after extraction.
