Dust Collection Kit - Evo/Pro

The Dust Collection Kit Evo/Pro from Mekanika is the ultimate solution for those looking to keep a clean and dust-free workspace during machining operations with CNC machines. Compatible with the Evo and Pro machines, this collection system integrates efficiently with the machine’s structure or workbench, ensuring effective dust extraction without disrupting the work process. Keeping the workshop free of dust not only improves air quality, but also protects the equipment and extends its durability, optimizing long-term performance.

The Dust Collection Kit for CNC machining consists of high-quality elements that ensure effective dust extraction. The steel tube structure provides a sturdy and durable support for the extraction system, while the electrostatic hose minimizes static electricity build-up, improving safety during operations. Additionally, the hose connectors and steel supports make for a quick and stable installation without the need for additional adjustments. The aluminum tube and PVC connectors ensure efficient waste transport.

Compatibility with High-Efficiency Vacuums

The Dust Collection Kit for Evo and Pro is compatible with two highly efficient vacuum models, the Metabo SPA1200 and the Leman ASP152.

The Metabo SPA1200 is an excellent option for workshops with limited space. Thanks to its compact and efficient design, it provides 550W power and an air flow of 900 m³/h, sufficient for most dust extraction applications in CNC machines and woodworking tools.

With dimensions of 830 x 450 x 1600 mm, it is ideal for smaller spaces. Its most notable feature is the wireless control, which allows it to be activated and deactivated automatically by detecting machine vibrations, making it easy to use without manual intervention. Additionally, it features a 65-liter collection bag and a single 100 mm diameter hose outlet.

For those who need a more robust extraction system, the Leman ASP152 is a superior choice in terms of power and storage capacity. Designed for more demanding industrial applications, this model offers 1500W of power and an air flow of 1344 m³/h, making it an ideal option for high-performance workshops.

With dimensions of 850 x 610 x 1950 mm, it is intended for larger spaces and environments where large volumes of waste are generated. Its collection bag has a capacity of 150 liters, allowing for longer operation periods without the need for frequent emptying. Unlike the Metabo SPA1200, this model does not have wireless control, but compensates with two 100 mm hose outlets, allowing the simultaneous connection of multiple machines or tools.

Benefits of the Dust Collection Kit for CNC Machines

Implementing the Dust Collection Kit in any workshop offers several key benefits. First, it contributes to a cleaner and more organized work environment by significantly reducing dust and debris accumulation. Additionally, it improves air quality by reducing suspended particles, making the environment safer for both the operator and other staff members. It also prevents dust build-up in critical components of the machines, helping to maintain their performance and extend their lifespan.

The kit alone fits very well with existing vacuum cleaners. The kit with the Metabo SPA1200 vacuum cleaner is ideal for use in small workshops generating less waste volume, and it is a practical and convenient solution thanks to its wireless control for automatic on/off operations. For larger workspaces with more waste, the kit with the Leman ASP152 vacuum cleaner is the best choice due to its power, 150-liter capacity, and ability to connect to multiple machines.
