The new Cleantex CT 48 dust extractor features a self-cleaning filter bag that addresses a common issue found in many dust extractors and vacuums. Typically, fine dust particles adhere to the inner lining of the filter bag, leading to caking, which significantly reduces suction power and extraction efficiency. This caking can also strain the motor, potentially causing premature failure. Festool has tackled this problem by creating a flexible fleece filter bag that prevents caking, unlike rigid paper bags. As a result, the Festool CT 48 maintains strong suction until the bag is nearly full. Many other brands experience a drop in suction before the bag is completely utilized, which means you end up paying full price for a partially used bag.

Additionally, the Festool filter bag acts as a pre-filter, capturing dust particles as small as 5 microns, roughly the size of a red blood cell. By trapping these fine particles, along with larger debris, it helps prolong the life of your main HEPA filter, minimizing wear and reducing the costs associated with frequent replacements. Disposal of the bag is quick and mess-free, thanks to an integrated closure that prevents spills. The tear-resistant material is designed to avoid blowouts, making cleanup hassle-free. Smart design indeed!
