The I|Flux 5 Elite uses an appropriate filter arrangement with 286 square feet of surface area – double that of a typical 5HP collector. To do this, we used a smaller diameter bag and a lot more of them. This arrangement maximizes the amount of surface area possible which is vital to adequate airflow through the collector. Keeping these filters clean was addressed in the design.

The 12 inch inlet has a net airflow of 3991CFM with a static pressure of 5 inch wc
A typical CNC Router needs a minimum requirement of 1500CFM, while a typical 37 inch wide belt sander would call for a minimum 2000CFM
This makes the I|Flux 5 a great fit for a CNC Router based cabinet shop that would be running several tools at once
With fine dust, the key is to have a large filter surface area and to keep those filters clean
The smaller tube filter design of the I|Flux 5 Elite are designed for the fine dust to cake on and the inner side of the filters and fall down into the bin as the mass grows
The filter surface area of the I|Flux 5 Elite is 286 square feet. A typical 5HP dust collector has a surface area of 150 square feet
This increase in filter area translates to a large increase in airflow, making the I|Flux an ideal machine for fine dust applications
The waste bins are easier to change than the kitchen garbage
Deactivate the air tight seal by pulling up the release bar and roll out the bin
The positive pressure design means there is no need for a bag hold down system like in multi-stage system
The wheels swivel 360 degrees and are mounted on a sturdy base to ensure they work in your shop for many many years
TheI|Flux 5 Elite fine dust collector displays an amperage read out on the control panel
This allows the user to monitor the efficiency of the motor
A high frequency remote is also included standard so that the operator can turn the machine on and off with a 60 meter range
There are several NFPA standards in place to ensure the proper installation and use of a dust collector
For woodworkers, the standard is NFPA 664: Standard for the Prevention of fires and explosions in wood processing and woodworking facilities
The I|Flux 5 Elite complies directly with this standard. In addition, the i|Flux is fitted with a phase controller and TEFC motor for added electrical safety
