Dust extractors
Makita is adding two new, M-Class approved dust extraction vacuum units to its range as the campaign for improved dust management takes construction industry priority.
In addition Makita has introduced a dual power extractor that can be powered by mains or battery and will be a very useful cleaner for maintenance teams.
The new Makita VC2201MXI/VC2211MX1 M class dust extractors are powered by a 1,050 watt motor, available in either 110v or 240v mode, which delivers a quiet 22.0 kPa maximum suction with an air flow of 3.5 m³/min to pull material into the 22 litre stainless steel tank. These extractors feature a new automatic self-cleaning filter system achieved by two triple function filter units. These are composed of a powder filter, damper and pre-filter which use a valve system to redirect airflow through each of the filters in turn to release the collected dust into the retainer. The audible air flow sensor bleeps a warning when the tank is full or the pipe is blocked. The Class M approval allows use with mica, china clay, gypsum, wood dust, masonry, GRP and concrete.
The new Makita DVC861LZ L-class extractor is operated by both AC mains power and DC batteries, using the twin 18V battery system. The new dry material vacuum has a 1,050watt motor that will generate 24 kPa maximum, suction in mains mode, and a useful 9 kPa suction when powered by battery. Maximum airflow is 3.6 m³/min and 2.1 m³/min respectively.
