1.5 kW / 2.2 kW Motor Options Level A Fire-proof Foam Dust Extraction System

The C516 foam dust extraction system is available with a 1.5 kW or 2.2 kW motor, on 220 V or 380 V supply. Filtration is one cyclone separator plus 2 x 1500 mesh stainless steel elements, machine weight is 200 kg and the overall dimension is 1200*650*1750 mm.

A small foam shop and a full cutting line do not need the same extractor. One hood on a single machine needs a smaller fan than three hoods on a duct run. The C516 is offered in two motor sizes and two voltages so the unit matches the installation instead of being oversized or running short.

• Model: C516
• Fire-proof level: Level A (non-combustible)
• Motor power: 1.5 kW / 2.2 kW
• Voltage: 220 V / 380 V
• Filter: 2 x 1500 mesh stainless
• Weight: 200 kg

1. Count the hoods. One hood on one machine points to the 1.5 kW unit.
2. Measure the duct run. Longer runs and more bends need the 2.2 kW unit.
3. Check the supply. Confirm 220 V single-phase or 380 V three-phase on site.
4. Confirm the filter package. Both models use the cyclone and 2 x 1500 mesh filters.
5. Install and test. Check suction at the farthest hood, not only at the nearest.
6. Set the cleaning interval. Adjust it to the dust load measured in the first weeks.

Test at the farthest hood. A unit that pulls well at the nearest hood can still be short at the end of the duct, and that is where the dust escapes.

Suction falls with duct length and with every bend. A fan that is adequate on a one-metre connection to a single machine can be marginal at the end of a six-metre run with two elbows. That is why the C516 is offered in two motor sizes rather than one.

The 1.5 kW unit suits a single hood close to the collector. The 2.2 kW unit is the choice when the duct run is longer or when two or three hoods are open at the same time. Both use the same cyclone and the same two 1500 mesh stainless elements, so the filtration result does not change with the motor size.

Voltage is the other constraint. A small shop may only have a 220 V supply, while a production line will have 380 V three-phase. Offering both means the unit can be installed without a supply upgrade, which is often the difference between a quick installation and a project.

• Hood count: one hood points to 1.5 kW; multi-hood runs to 2.2 kW.
• Duct length: longer runs and bends reduce suction at the far end.
• Supply: 220 V or 380 V, matched to what is already on site.

• Two motor sizes: match the fan to one hood or a multi-hood run.
• Two voltages: 220 V for small shops, 380 V for three-phase sites.
• Same filtration: cyclone plus 2 x 1500 mesh stainless elements on both models.
• Compact footprint: 1200*650*1750 mm fits a small workshop.
• 200 kg base: the unit stays steady when the fan is at full speed.
• Simple installation: standard duct connections and a clear commissioning checklist.
• CE certified: export-ready electrics and guarding.

• Single-machine shops: one hood on a cutting or trimming machine.
• Small workshops: 220 V supply with a compact extractor.
• Multi-hood lines: 2.2 kW unit on a longer duct run.
• Foam shredding: extraction at the shredder outlet.
• CNC routing: extraction at the cutting head.
• Mobile use: hose kit for clean-up around the workshop.

Dust collector faults usually appear as falling suction before they appear as a motor fault. Check the filter, the duct joints and the number of open hoods first, because those three account for most weak-suction complaints.

Confirm the rotation direction of the fan before running the unit. A three-phase fan running backwards moves air, but not enough to carry dust through the duct.

Keep the duct run as short and as straight as the layout allows. Every extra bend reduces the suction available at the hood, whatever the motor size.

• Confirm fan rotation direction on three-phase supply.
• Test suction at the farthest hood after installation.
• Keep the duct run short and avoid unnecessary bends.
• Empty the dust bin on a fixed schedule.
• Record motor current at commissioning as a baseline.

The motor and fan need little more than a current check and a mounting check. Record the current at commissioning, then compare it on each service, because a rise usually means a blocked duct or a loaded filter.

The filters and the duct joints set the suction. Clean the stainless elements on schedule, check the door seal, and inspect the duct joints for leaks that let dust bypass the hood.

• Record motor current at commissioning and compare monthly.
• Clean the stainless filter elements on schedule.
• Check fan mounting bolts and belt condition monthly.
• Check the door seal and duct joints weekly.
• Inspect the cyclone cone for dust build-up.

The unit ships in an export crate with the cabinet, fan and filter elements braced for transport. The crate is sized to the 1200*650*1750 mm machine envelope.

The shipment includes the duct connection sizes, the electrical requirements and a commissioning checklist, with remote support during installation.
