Cen-Tec Systems Quick Click Translucent Separator (97470)

The Cen-Tec Systems Quick Click Translucent Separator (97470) is an innovative accessory designed to significantly enhance the performance and extend the lifespan of your wet/dry vacuum cleaner. By efficiently separating dust, debris, and even liquids from the incoming airstream, this separator collects these materials in a general-purpose recovery bin (not included), preventing them from clogging your vacuum's filter and reducing the need for frequent bag changes. This results in consistent suction power and a cleaner, more efficient work environment for a variety of tasks.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Enhanced Vacuum Performance: The 8-inch upper housing with its curved internal design promotes smooth airflow, allowing debris to move past the center baffle without negatively impacting your vacuum's suction capability.
• Efficient Separation: Utilizing a combination of cyclonic action and a uniquely shaped concave baffle, the separator effectively separates both large, bulky particles and fine dust, ensuring a cleaner airstream reaches your vacuum.
• Cost Savings: By capturing the majority of debris before it reaches the filter and bag, you'll significantly reduce the frequency of replacements, saving you money over time.
• Airtight Connection: The inclusion of a commercial-grade rubber mounting gasket guarantees a secure and airtight seal to the recovery bin, preventing performance-robbing air leaks.
• Clog-Free Operation: A generous 4-inch diameter discharge point to the debris recovery bin is engineered to prevent blockages, ensuring continuous and uninterrupted operation.
• Versatile Application: This separator is an invaluable tool for a wide range of applications, including woodworking, auto body detailing, commercial painting, sheetrock installation and repair, construction clean-up, stone countertop production, hardwood floor refinishing, liquid capture, and slurry collection.
• Broad Compatibility: Designed to integrate seamlessly with industry-standard wet-dry vacuums, the Quick Click Separator features a 2.375-inch inlet that accommodates male hoses and an exterior that fits popular 2.5-inch dust collection hoses, eliminating the need for additional adapters or tape.
• Visual Monitoring: The translucent material of the separator body allows users to easily observe the separation process and monitor the fill level of the collected debris.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Inlet Diameter (Internal): 2.375 inches (fits male hoses)
• Outlet Diameter (External): Fits 2.5 inches (common dust collection hoses)
• Discharge Point Diameter: 4 inches
• Mounting Flange Width: 6.5 inches (165 mm)
• Inclusions: Quick Click Translucent Separator unit

HOW TO USE:

1. Prepare a Recovery Bin: Select a rigid and airtight container (e.g., a standard 5-gallon bucket or similar) to serve as the debris collection bin.
2. Mount the Separator: Position the Quick Click Separator onto the lid of your chosen recovery bin. Ensure the 6.5-inch mounting flange sits securely on the lid. The cylinder extending from the flange should fit snugly into a hole cut in the lid.
3. Secure the Seal: The commercial-grade rubber gasket on the mounting flange should create an airtight seal between the separator and the lid of the recovery bin. Ensure there are no gaps.
4. Connect the Vacuum Hose (Inlet): Attach the hose from your wet/dry vacuum cleaner to the 2.375-inch inlet of the Quick Click Separator.
5. Connect the Tool Hose (Outlet): If you are using a dust collection hose from a power tool, connect it to the 2.5-inch outlet of the Quick Click Separator.
6. Begin Operation: Turn on your vacuum cleaner and begin your work. Dust, debris, and liquids will be drawn into the separator.
7. Observe Separation: The cyclonic action and baffle inside the separator will force the heavier particles and liquids to fall into the recovery bin. The translucent body allows you to see this process.
8. Empty the Recovery Bin: Once the recovery bin is full or when you are finished with your task, turn off the vacuum, detach the hoses, and carefully remove the separator from the recovery bin to empty its contents.
9. Clean as Needed: Periodically inspect and clean the inside of the separator if necessary to maintain optimal performance.

BENEFITS OF USING THE CEN-TEC SYSTEMS QUICK CLICK TRANSLUCENT SEPARATOR (97470):

• Prolongs Vacuum Filter Life: By capturing the majority of particulate matter, the Quick Click Separator significantly reduces the load on your vacuum's primary filter, extending its lifespan and saving you replacement costs.
• Maintains Consistent Suction Power: Preventing filter clogging ensures that your vacuum operates at its optimal suction level for longer periods, leading to more efficient cleaning and material removal.
• Reduces Dust Exposure: Capturing dust and debris at the source helps to create a cleaner and healthier work environment by minimizing airborne particles.
• Increases Vacuum Versatility: The ability to separate liquids and slurries allows your wet/dry vacuum to handle a wider range of tasks without the risk of damaging the filter.
• Saves Time and Effort: Fewer filter and bag changes mean less downtime and more time spent on your actual work.
• Easy Integration: The Quick Click Separator is designed for simple and quick connection to most standard wet/dry vacuum systems without the hassle of extra parts.

FEATURES:

• Cyclonic Separation: Employs centrifugal force to effectively remove larger particles from the airflow.
• Concave Baffle Design: A specially shaped internal baffle further enhances the separation of both coarse and fine materials.
• Translucent Housing: Provides clear visibility of the separation process and the collected debris level.
• 8-Inch Upper Housing: Designed with curved internal surfaces to optimize airflow and minimize resistance.
• Commercial-Grade Rubber Gasket: Ensures a tight and reliable seal for maximum performance.
• 4-Inch Discharge Point: Large outlet diameter to prevent clogging during material transfer to the collection bin.
• Universal Hose Compatibility: Designed to connect with common wet/dry vacuum and dust collection hose sizes without adapters.
• Robust Construction: Built for durability to withstand the demands of various work environments.
