Dust Extractor MIRKA®

The Mirka extractor is a dust extractor designed to be connected to sanding tools. It captures dust at source, as it forms under the abrasive, for a cleaner workstation and healthier air.

Why extract at source

Sanding dust does three kinds of damage. It clogs the abrasive, which skates and scratches instead of cutting. It settles on freshly prepared surfaces and creates paint defects. And the finest particles stay suspended in the air the operator breathes.

An extractor connected to the sander deals with the problem where it starts. The abrasive lasts longer, the finish is more even and the workshop stays clean.

A consistent system

Extraction only works if the whole chain is consistent: dust-extracting sander, perforated pad, abrasive whose holes match the pad, or a net abrasive such as Mirka Abranet, which extracts across its whole surface. One blocked link, and extraction loses most of its effectiveness.

Uses

Sanding in bodywork, joinery, construction and industry; sanding fillers, primers, wood and composites. The extractor works with electric and pneumatic sanders fitted with an extraction connection.

Maintenance

Empty the container or change the bag before it is full, and clean or replace the filter regularly: a clogged filter makes the extraction rate drop.
