Dust Extractors

Bosch Professional Dust Control

Dust extractors

Think of dust control as teamwork. All the parts need to fit together, and at the heart of it is your dust extractor. At Bosch Professional, we design our dust extractors for maximum ease of use and full compliance with established dust regulations. If you're looking for a professional dust extractor but are not sure where to begin, you're in the right place.

WHICH DUST EXTRACTION CLASS DO YOU NEED?

Our dust extractors are rated according to the L, M, H dust classes to help you achieve compliance.

L, M, H is a standard for rating dust extractors (European Standard EN/IEC 60335-2-69 Appendix AA). It is widely used in the European Union, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. It helps you quickly identify the level of protection offered by a dust extractor thanks to a visible, standardized rating: Low, Medium, or High.

L CLASS

For low-risk dust: Household dust, gypsum, plaster, soil, lime, etc.

Why users like it: Entry-level and affordable.

To qualify for L Class, dust extractors must have:

Filtration efficiency: >99%

M CLASS

For medium-risk dust: Silica, soft wood, hard wood, metals, paint, plastics, sand, pebbles, etc

Why users like it: Sufficient for many materials and applications on the jobsite.

To qualify for M Class, dust extractors must have:

Filtration efficiency: >99.9%
Airflow speed is measured.
Alarm sounds when suction rate drops.
Minimal leakage to prevent contaminated air from escaping.
Low-dust disposal of filter and dust bag.

H CLASS

For high-risk dust: Asbestos¹, silica, hard wood, lead, mold spores, carcinogens, and pathogens, etc. Important: Not suitable for asbestos.

Why users like it: Excellent suction and filtration rate offer higher levels of protection.

To qualify for H Class, dust extractors must have:

Filtration efficiency: >99.995%
Airflow speed is measured.
Alarm sounds when suction rate drops.
Near-zero leakage to prevent contaminated air from escaping.
No-dust disposal of filter and dust bag.
Filter accessible only with a screwdriver.

Auto Filter Cleaning

As filters get too clogged with dust, filter performance falls over time, leading to weaker airflow and extraction. To ensure effective dust capture and protection, it’s important to keep your filter clean. With AFC, your dust extractor takes care of it for you:

How it works: Reverses airflow every 15sec. (with an audible "bang") to dislodge dust from the filter.
Higher performance: Clean filters give you consistent airflow and a high filtration rate.
Longer lifetimes: Prevent clogged filters.

We also offer dust extractors with Semi-Automatic Filter Cleaning (SFC) or manual cleaning.

A simple "click" lets you seamless connect tools, attachments, and hoses – without an adaptor.
Maximum suction power with no loss.
Ready for all types of dust extraction, including wet/dry.

Choosing Dust Bags

Where all the dirt goes

Dust bags collect all the extracted waste that you’re trying to get rid of – including the dust that shouldn’t go back into the air. Available in a variety of materials, dust bags offer you different levels of protection and ease-of-use. Filter bags are designed to extend the life of your main filter by pre-filtering extracted dust particles. When it comes to dangerous dust types, low-dust disposal helps you prevent dust leakage.

Choosing Dust Bags

All about filters

Why you can breathe easier

There are many filter types, but they all fulfill the same job: They help remove dangerous particles from contaminated air before your dust extractor releases it again as exhaust. Filters need to be regularly cleaned or replaced to make sure they capture dust effectively and help you maintain a high level of protection. A clogged filter reduces airflow and weakens dust extraction, which can cause lower performance. To ensure effective dust capture and the highest levels of protection, it’s important to keep your filter clean.

Choosing hoses

There's science to it.

Length matters, but not only. Here are a few things you should know when you're choosing a hose for the job.

Choosing hoses

Anti-static

Dust and hair sticking to the hose and the occasional static shock. Sounds familiar? Anti-static hoses are designed to conduct electricity to the ground, discharging the static buildup – so you can focus and work comfortably. We make it easy for you to tell which of our hoses are anti-static:

Black or grey colour: Regular hose
Blue colour: Anti-static hose

Choosing hoses

Length

Our hoses range from 1.6m to 5m in length.

A long hose gives you more freedom and ease of movement. But it will take in more air volume and increase the air friction, lowering the suction power.

A shorter hose restricts your movements, but it does offer higher suction power. This makes it more suitable for picking up debris.

Choosing hoses

Diameter

Our dust extractors (GAS 35/55 series) come with a 35mm diameter hose. A 22mm diameter hose is available separately.

A larger hose diameter pulls in more air, making it more suitable for airborne dust particles.

A smaller hose diameter gets faster airflow and more suction power, making it more suitable for picking up debris.

Choosing hoses

Zero-leakage connection

Our Click&Clean system helps you connect your dust extractor and dust attachments without an adaptor. This ensures maximum suction power and zero leakage with just one click.

Filter FAQ

How to choose a filter cleaning system?

There are 3 filter cleaning systems:

Automatic Filter Cleaning (AFC): Your dust extractor automatically cleans the filter every 15 seconds.
Semi-Automatic Filter Cleaning (SFC): You can decide when to clean the filter based on the application and amount of dust. To activate SFC, simply push a button or switch on the dust extractor.
Manual: Filter must be manually removed and cleaned at regular intervals. Suitable for low-dust applications.

Dust disposal FAQ

How to install and remove dust bags?

Wear PPE to avoid inhaling dust during disposal.

How to install dust bags:
1. Open up the dust extractor and line it with the dust bag.
2. Make sure the dust bag is attached to the extraction outlet.
3. AFC extractors have a small metal pin at the rim. Make sure this pin pokes through the dust bag for electrical contact with the lid, otherwise AFC will not work.

How to remove of dust bags:
1. Open up the dust extractor.
2. Gently detach the dust bag from the extraction outlet and seal the opening on the bag.
3. Seal the dust bag securely, e.g. with a zip tie. Any holes should be carefully sealed to prevent leakage.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is HEPA?

HEPA is a widely recognized filter efficiency standard. It stands for “high-efficiency particulate air”. The HEPA standard is only valid for filters. It should not be confused with the L, M and H dust extraction classes, which require all parts inside the dust extractor to share the same dust class rating. You should only use the recommended filter for your dust extractor. Using a HEPA filter will not influence the L, M, H certification of a dust extractor.

Notes:

¹ Important: Some countries may have additional requirements for asbestos dust extraction. Regulations on dust extraction for asbestos may vary from country to country. For example, according to German regulations, dust extractors must have TRGS 519 certification to be suitable for asbestos dust. Source: baua.de
