Mirka DustExtractor1230HEPA PC120V

Description

OSHA respirable crystalline silica standards demand continuous dust extraction during composite surface sanding and automotive body refinishing. The Mirka 1230 HEPA PC Dust Extractor pairs Push and Clean filter pulsing with a 1,200W motor pulling 157 CFM and 100in water lift. Its 8gal tub demands disciplined bag emptying during heavy production runs.

The collection canister features high-impact polypropylene with an integrated rubber bumper perimeter and flat case-top storage deck. A single-phase 120V bypass motor draws 10 FLA at 1,200W on standard 60Hz single-phase circuits. An auxiliary power outlet draws up to 600W for auto-tool start. Net unboxed weight reaches 32 lbs. Base dimensions measure 22-1/4in long by 15-1/4in wide by 22-1/4in high, rolling on 2 front locking swivel casters and 2 large rubber rear wheels.

Key Features of Mirka 1230

Automotive paint shops buy Mirka 1230 extractors to capture primer dust and drywall sanding powder right at the sanding pad. Commercial pricing structures make this high-performance commercial HEPA dust extractor an essential investment for professional autobody shops.

• High-efficiency 1,200W motor generates 157 CFM airflow and 100in static water lift for heavy collection.
• Certified HEPA filtration system captures 99.97% of fine dust particles down to 0.3 microns.
• Push and Clean semi-automatic filter cleaning system pulses reverse air through the cartridge on demand.
• Auto-start power receptacle synchronizes vacuum suction with attached pneumatic or electric random orbital sanders.
• Flat top motor housing provides secure mounting for Mirka modular toolbox cases during shop transport.
• Large 8gal collection container features smooth interior walls for rapid disposal bag swaps.
• Anti-static conductive hose package eliminates electrostatic discharge when sanding composite body panels.

Auto Tool Vacuum Bench Tests

Laboratory flow tests verify 157 CFM of open airflow and 100in of static water lift at the canister inlet. Operating noise checks in at 60 dB under mechanical load, allowing conversation in busy paint preparation bays. Current draw stabilizes at 10A on 120V circuits under full suction load. Motor dome exhaust temperatures peak at 124°F after 60 minutes of uninterrupted dry sanding passes. Static water lift drops less than 3% when the filter holds 6 lbs of automotive primer dust.

Shop Handling Filter Care Procedures

The three-position rotary control switch clicks between off, manual run, and auto-tool start with gloved fingers. Do not buy this machine for continuous flood mitigation or wet masonry slurry dredging because liquid saturates the dry paper filter and causes premature motor shutdown.

• Press the Push and Clean button 3 times whenever hose air gauge suction dips below 70 CFM.
• Inspect the certified HEPA filter cartridge for tears or seal deformation every 50 service hours.
• Wipe the rubber tank rim gasket with a clean rag before every motor latch down.
