AFC-SC Series Central Vacuum Safety Filter
AFC-SC Series Central Vacuum Safety Filter
AFC-SC Central Vacuum Cyclonic Pre-Filter is an in line pre-filter that can be placed in any central conveying system. Pre-filters must always be used in conjunction with a central filter. It is designed to extend the life and efficiency of your vacuum pump filter as well as protect the pump from damage.
Through the use of Cyclonic technology, it reduces the amount of dust and fines that can get to your primary pump filter. The centrifugal forces from the intake air cause a spinning motion of the air in the rotor to separate particles from the air stream. The unit is 85% efficient up to 15 microns. All AFC-SC pre-filters come standard with a clear collection chamber to allow plant personnel to easily determine when the filter requires cleaning.
REQUEST A QUOTE Find a rep- The AFC-SC Series is designed for central conveying applications that require pre-filtration to help reduce dust and fines before they reach the primary filter and vacuum pump.
- Pre-filters help remove a large portion of dust and fine particles from the air stream before they reach the primary filtration system. This helps support conveying system performance and protect downstream equipment.
- Cyclonic pre-filtration removes a significant portion of airborne dust and fines before they reach the primary filter. Reducing the dust load on the primary filter can help extend filter service life and maintain system efficiency.
- Vacuum pumps play a critical role in material conveying operations. Reducing the amount of dust and fines reaching the pump can help protect system components and support reliable conveying performance.
- Factors such as material characteristics, dust generation, conveying system size, airflow requirements, and maintenance objectives should all be considered when selecting a pre-filtration solution.
- The AFC-SC Series is designed to reduce dust and fines within central conveying systems through cyclonic pre-filtration, helping support cleaner operation and improve protection for primary filters and vacuum pumps.

85+% of 15 micron and larger dirt particles are ejected into the collection chamber.
Design features of the AFC-SC minimize particles from re-entering the air stream.
Note: A central filter is required and must be used in conjunction with this pre-filter
