How do I find the right extractor?
To enable dust-free work, you should first carefully consider where the machine will be used.
For example, if you are using the extractor at construction sites, a smaller and more compact machine is considerably easier to carry.
The CTM MIDI or CTM 26 by Festool are suitable for this purpose, for example.
If you quickly produce high volumes of dust or have a dedicated space for the machine at your workshop, you may wish to opt for a suction device with a larger number.
If you produce fine dust while working, such as when using a wall scraper or for routing work on screed, you should ensure that an automatic cleaning system, which knocks the fine dust from the filter, is incorporated in the extraction device. CTM E AC 26, 36 or 48 Festool extractors are suitable for this purpose.
Provided that it is precisely known what work is performed and which dust is generated, in most cases an extractor from class M will suffice.
These extractors will typically deal with all of the dust that is generated at construction sites or workshops, such as household dust, plaster, clay, ceramics, lime, paint, varnish, wood, concrete, cement and screed. Only the CTH 26 and 48 models by Festool allow hazardous and carcinogenic dust, such as asbestos and mould, to be extracted – therefore enabling flawless and dust-free work.
