New Mirka dust extractor
Mirka has launched the new Dexos 1217 M AFC, which it claims represents a leap forward in dust extraction technology.
Engineered with a compact and ergonomic design, Mirka says this flagship model seamlessly integrates with its next generation of power tools. It features numerous enhancements to optimise the sanding process for operators, ensuring greater ease and efficiency.
The Mirka Dexos 1217 M AFC is a powerful and durable dust extractor with a brushless electric motor. This advanced motor not only delivers impressive power but also ensures extended operational life and enhanced reliability. Power levels can be easily adjusted from the backlit control panel on the front of the dust extractor, which also includes hose diameter adjustment. The Dexos 1217 M AFC offers autostart capabilities on two sockets, Bluetooth pairing, and a customisable multifunction button for added versatility.
Additionally, the Mirka Dexos 1217 M AFC boasts automatic filter cleaning capabilities, ensuring consistent suction performance throughout prolonged use. An integrated airflow sensor provides real-time feedback, alerting operators to any deviations from optimal flow rates.
The Mirka Dexos 1217 M AFC is available as an M-class dust extractor and can be fitted with a HEPA filter. For a complete dust-free sanding process, simply connect a powerful Mirka sander to the dust extractor using the supplied hose and begin sanding with Mirka’s effective abrasives, including the groundbreaking Mirka Abranet net abrasive.
This easily maneuverable and cleanable 13kg unit includes space for storing the included 4m hose and cables during transport. It is compatible with the Mirka Case, Toolbox, and existing Mirka hoses. The dust extractor features two power outlets for tools and is suitable for both wet and dry use.
The dust bag in the 17-litre container can be changed or removed without unclipping storage boxes fastened on top of the dust extractor. For secure transport, the Mirka Dexos 1217 M AFC can be stabilised with a foot-operated brake pedal.
Moreover, the wearable Remote Control bracelet enhances convenience by allowing users to start the Dexos directly from the suction hose. The Dexos model features an autostart mode, making it ideal for occasional cleaning tasks and use with multiple tools. The Bluetooth-enabled remote control, strapped around the dust hose, senses tool vibrations to start the extractor and offers two operating modes: auto sense and manual.
Additionally, the rubber strap is optimised for Mirka’s hoses, and the device includes an LED indicator for suction flow, a Bluetooth range of up to 20 metres, and eliminates the need for a pneumatic box.
