Tools for the toughest demands

Nobody will ever know how hard
the work really was: the new
CLEANTEX CT 26 | CT 36.
Compact, but also big. Light, but particularly powerful. Just as
uncompromising as it is adaptable: apparent opposites come
together in the new CLEANTEX, which removes all the traces of
work before they can be seen.
With compact dimensions and low weight, bringing greater
flexibility to the building site and the shop floor. With swivel
castors for steering and rear wheels made from specially
designed material for reduced wear. With a locking brake and
precisely balanced, low centre of gravity to ensure stability on
any surface. And with a modular plug-in system for quick and
simple customising – from an additional power socket to an
integrated compressed air port.
For an impressive display of just how big something small can
be, take a look under the removable upper section of the new
CLEANTEX. With a newly developed dust container, the
SELFCLEAN filter bags specially optimised for use with it, and
an in-built, space-efficient flat filter. Driven by a high-power
turbine, these features mean the CLEANTEX picks up signifi-
cantly more dust. Inside and outside, powerful and with consist-
ently high suction, even over long periods of use.

With its modular plug-in system, your CLEANTEX can
be perfectly tailored to suit your specific requirement s. Compressed air module? Second power
socket? Link to the energy box? Assembly couldn’t be
simpler or more flexible. Saving you valuable work
time.

The challenge: to find more
room inside a compact space.
The crucial factor with any extractor is how much room is
available inside. The new shape of the dust container in the
CLEANTEX provides considerably more volume despite the
smaller overall size of the extractor. The flat filter is positioned outside the dust container and does not protrude into
it.
This room bonus is fully exploited by the new SELFCLEAN
filter bag. Its flexible non-woven material fits seamlessly
into the smooth walls of the container, allowing it to hold
considerably more dust. Thanks to the SELFCLEAN effect,
the filter bag does not clog, keeping suction power constant
until the bag is completely full. On top of that, the spaceefficient design of the new turbine guarantees even greater
suction power.
Constant high suction power and up to four times more fine dust with the SELFCLE AN filter bag.

Full use of available volume: where customary
solutions such as round filters or hood shapes
reduce the total volume, the flat filter doesn’t take
any space away. The gross volume and the net
volume are the same.
Intelligent self-cleaning: thanks to its flexible
non-woven material and the shape of the dust
container, the SELFCLEAN filter bag collapses into
itself when the power is switched off. This shakes
off the dust, preventing it from caking onto the
sides of the bag, which can other wise reduce
suction power and even cause the filter bag to
burst.
