Once you've finished cutting and sanding operations and have turned off your dust extractor and protective mask, you might think you've been sufficiently safety conscious about protection from dust inhalation. However, when you see a ray of sunlight come through the window, you can see that a lot of dust remains suspended in the air.
The AF-1000P is an upgrade to our successful AF-1000C; further enhancing the safety of your workshop by drawing air into it, filtering the dust, and returning the filtered air back into the room or shed. It can be left running quietly in the background, filtering out even the finest dust particles. To maximise your filtration capability, you can use an optional third-stage charcoal odour filter that is sold separately. With a new 375W motor, this unit operates more efficiently than ever before.
The standard AF-1000P filters >99% of particles 5 microns or larger and 85% of particles down to 1 micron. It features pre-set run times of 2, 4, or 8 hours. This unit also has a diffuser on the exhaust side, providing a more even spread of clean air.
It is suitable for hanging from your ceiling, mounting on a wall, or placing on a stand or bench. Our AF-1000P 1/2 HP room air filter features remote control and variable extraction capacities of 560, 750, and 1100CFM. Adding more air filters increases your air filtration capacity.
Workshop tips:
If the unit is mounted to a building structure, ensure the area will support at least 30 kg. Never mount to surfaces such as plasterboard, suspended ceiling or timber wall cladding (unless you are attaching through this to the studs)
A good rule of thumb for calculating what approximate CFM is required to filter your workshop air effectively:
METRIC: Your workshop Length X Width X Height (meters) X 6.000 = Minimum CFM required for 10X per hour exchange
IMPERIAL: Your workshop Length X Width X Height (feet) X 0.1666 = Minimum CFM required for 10X per hour exchange
Example: For a 6m X 6m X 2.4m Shed, you would require approximately 520cfm to filter the air 10X per hour, so one AF-1000P running at its second speed would be sufficient.
