Frequently asked questions
Common questions about ROBOVENT from 3G Electric.
What MERV rating do Robovent cartridge filters have?
Robovent cartridge filters supplied by 3G Electric are rated MERV 15. This rating indicates the filter's ability to capture particles between 0.3 and 1.0 microns in size with high efficiency, typically above 85%. MERV 15 filters are commonly used in industrial fume extraction systems to control fine particulates from welding, soldering, and grinding operations. The specific MERV rating is consistent across models like PL-18D16-A15, PL-14D36-A15-SF, and PL-10D12-A15, ensuring uniform performance for compatible extractors.
Which Robovent extractor models are compatible with the PL-18D16-A15 filter?
The Robovent PL-18D16-A15 cartridge filter is designed for use with the G112 mobile fume extractor. This filter is also compatible with the G110 and G111 models, as indicated by the manufacturer part number reference. The filter is a MERV 15 replacement cartridge that fits these specific extractor units. For other models, such as the G120 or S310, different filter part numbers like PL-14D26-A15-SF or PL-14D36-A15-SF are required. Always verify the extractor model number before ordering to ensure proper fit.
Are Robovent cartridge filters reusable?
Some Robovent cartridge filters are reusable, depending on the model. For example, the PL-18D12-A15-C filter, used with the S211 downdraft table, is specified as a reusable cartridge filter. Reusable filters can be cleaned using compressed air or other methods recommended by the manufacturer, extending their service life. However, not all Robovent filters are reusable; models like the PL-18D16-A15 and PL-14D36-A15-SF are typically disposable and should be replaced when they reach their loading capacity. Check the product specifications for each filter to determine if it is reusable.
What is the difference between Robovent mobile and wall-mount fume extractor filters?
Robovent mobile fume extractor filters, such as the PL-18D16-A15 for the G112, are designed for portable units that can be moved around a facility. Wall-mount and floor-mount filters, like the PL-14D36-A15-SF for the S315, are intended for fixed installations. The primary difference is the physical dimensions and mounting configuration of the filter housing, which affects how the filter interfaces with the extractor. Both types use MERV 15 media, but the filter sizes and part numbers differ to match the specific extractor model. For example, mobile filters may have a different diameter or length compared to wall-mount versions.
Can I use a Robovent filter from a mobile extractor on a downdraft table?
No, Robovent filters are model-specific and should not be interchanged between different extractor types without verifying compatibility. Mobile extractor filters, such as the PL-18D16-A15 for the G112, have different dimensions and mounting interfaces compared to downdraft table filters like the PL-18D12-A15-C for the S211. Using an incorrect filter can result in poor fit, reduced filtration efficiency, or damage to the extractor. Always match the filter part number to the extractor model number listed in the product specifications.
