Q: Why do some industrial sweepers and sweeper/scrubbers use standard dust filters while others use more expensive panel filters?
A: VCS™-type systems feature filters and newer shaker components that provide maximum cleanback. The system’s dual seals prevent dusty air from passing through the vacuum fan for better air quality. Stretch your cleaning dollars by gently washing Donaldson filters with a garden hose an average of 5 to 10 times while safely preserving the integrity and performance of the filter media. Depending on your unique cleaning needs, you may also want to choose between cellulose-based filter material that easily releases dust when shaken and synthetic materials for wet or chemically active applications. As a Tennant customer, you will receive a discount of 10 percent when you buy two or more filters, or you may buy three or more filters and get one free per order.
