Nilfisk-Alto Aero 26-21 HEPA Vacuum

Description

Draw toxic dust straight from power tool shrouds through an integrated auto-start electrical connection. The Nilfisk Aero 26-21 HEPA Extractor pairs a 1,000W bypass motor with certified HEPA filtration to pull 127 CFM and 84in water lift. Its 6.6gal tank requires steady emptying during heavy planing, prioritizing agility over bulk storage.

The collection canister features impact-resistant polypropylene mounted to a balanced 4-wheel mobile base. A single-stage 120V bypass motor draws 8.4 FLA at 1,000W on standard 60Hz single-phase circuits. An auxiliary power receptacle draws up to 600W for connected tools. Unboxed dry weight reaches 19.8 lbs. Floor stance measures 15in long by 15.5in wide by 21in high, rolling on 2 front swivel casters and 2 wide-track rear wheels.

Key Features of Nilfisk Aero 26-21

Woodworkers and finish carpenters buy Nilfisk Aero 26-21 units to capture fine sanding dust without dragging heavy industrial drum extractors into clients’ homes. Transparent commercial pricing establishes this commercial HEPA vacuum as an indispensable finish-carpentry tool.

• Certified HEPA filtration system captures 99.97% of fine dust particles down to 0.3 microns.
• Auto-start electrical socket triggers vacuum suction when you pull the switch on attached hand tools.
• Push and Clean semi-automatic filter system blasts reverse air through the cartridge to purge caked dust.
• Powerful 1,000W bypass motor generates 127 CFM airflow and 84in static water lift.
• Blower exhaust port converts the vacuum into an effective air blower for clearing work surfaces.
• Flexible 1-1/4in by 11.5ft anti-static hose eliminates static shocks when sanding composite panels.
• Built-in rubber strap retains the power cord and suction hose during transit between jobsites.

Bypass Airflow Vacuum Bench Tests

Laboratory instruments record 127 CFM of free airflow and 84in of static water lift at the inlet collar. Operating sound levels reach an ultra-quiet 64 dB under full load, permitting indoor cleanup in occupied school classrooms. Electric current draw pulls a steady 8.4 FLA under heavy suction restriction. Exhaust air temperatures stabilize at 122°F after 60 minutes of uninterrupted dry gypsum sanding in shop tests. Suction drops less than 5% when the collection bag holds 10 lbs of sanding dust under load.

Field Handling Filter Care Procedures

The three-position rotary control switch clicks between off, manual run, and auto-start with gloved fingers. Do not buy this machine for continuous flood mitigation or large 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 60 CFM.
• Rinse the washable main filter element under cold tap water every 80 service hours and air dry.
• Wipe the tank rim rubber gasket with a clean rag before every motor latch down.
