The CT 48 EI AC HEPA is Festool's biggest, most robust dust extractor to date. It combines the large capacity and HEPA filtering of the CT 48 EI with the filter cleaning and easy disposal of difficult materials from the CT 36 EI AC. It's compliant with the latest requirements for the EPA Lead RRP rule * and silica dust collection (as defined by OSHA Table 1 * .)
The CT 48 EI AC HEPA Dust Extractor comes with HEPA filters that filter out particles down to .3 microns. Its 12.7 gallon container rolls smoothly on large wheels, is nearly impossible to tip over and has locking wheels for stability. The self-cleaning disposable filter bag resists caking - maintaining maximum suction. Tool triggered switch with smooth start-up and shut off delay, and adjustable electronic suction control make this the ultimate vac to connect to your hand power tools. When collecting materials that require special disposal, switch to the plastic disposal bag, which is easily removed and secured for proper disposal. If you're cutting or sawing cement-based material, this is the dust extractor for you.
The AutoClean feature knocks the dust off the filter every ten seconds to ensure that there's no buildup so the filter operates at maximum efficiency.
The quiet (71db) 10 amp motor creates an impressive 137 CFM (3900 L/min) and 96" (24,000 Pa) of static pressure. The open top design includes hose and cord storage and a carrying handle. The top also includes locking latches to securely attach Festool Systainer® tool containers, keeping your power tools and accessories close at hand. Weighs 35.9 lbs.
