  • Air filter options

    Air filter options

    Dust and other materials being drawn into the heater can cause incomplete combustion, which may release toxic substances. To prevent this, every heater is equiped with a dust filter. There are two types of filters available:

    SS Filter (standard)
    The SS (Stainless Steel) filter comes standard with every S-series heater. Its design ensures durability and ease of maintenance. The filter can be quickly cleaned by hand during the production cycle and thoroughly cleaned with compressed air or water after each cycle.
    HD Filter (optional)
    The HD (Heavy Duty) filter is a completely different type of filter. Made from durable cloth material, it prevents 99% of dust particles from entering the S-heater—significantly more than the SS filter can achieve. Thanks to its folded design, the overall filter area is much larger compared to the SS filter, reducing the frequency of cleaning required. The HD filter can be easily cleaned by hand during the production cycle and thoroughly cleaned with water or compressed air after each cycle.
