Husqvarna C 5500 Industrial Pre-Separator - 967664601
C 5500 is an effective industrial pre-separator for really big jobs where a lot of dust is produced. C 5500 separates 90% of the vacuumed material before it reaches the dust extractor, which greatly increases the suction capacity, extends motor life and significantly reduces the frequency of filter maintenance, thus giving you longer operation without interruption. Using a pre-separator enhances the dust extractor’s capacity to handle material that would normally be considered difficult to manage such as soot, burning particles, liquids and light material in large quantities.
