New Reusable Filters for Wet/Dry Vacuums

Sept. 26, 2012 - PRLog -- Herky Filter Introduces New High Efficiency Filter Bag for Wet/Dry Vacuums
Canfield, OH  Septermber 26, 2012 - Herky Filter is introducing a new product line of filters for wet/dry vacuums. One is a universal reusable filter bag that works with a wet/dry vacuum system, such as Shop Vac®, Ridge Tool®, Craftsman®, Kenmore®, and more.
These filters and filter bags have many advantages over the traditional paper filters, because our high efficiency filters are made to filter fine dust particles. Our filters and filter bags are made from strong non-woven polyester felt; a thick and dense material that has been needle punched so it can breathe and filter better than the competitive filter bag media. Air flow is restricted with the paper filter bags and plugs sooner, and due to the weight of the material or pressure build up the bag can burst and fail. Herky’s filter bag is very durable and holds up against every test. First, 80 lbs. of sand dust was vacuumed into Herky’s filter bag and removed from the vacuum, and then the bag was thrown on the ground. This was repeated several times with the same filter bag and no failures occurred. In addition there was no bag failure when vacuuming up glass, steel shavings, and water or damp materials. The Herky Bag was also tested with chalk line dust by taking 10 lbs. of blue chalk line powder and vacuuming it into the High Efficiency Filter Bag. After opening the vacuum the primary filter was snow white with no evidence of dust, and the inside of the vacuum had no chalk residue. The exterior of the Herky Bag looked like it was new with no signs of dirt or dust. Herky’s filter bag attaches to the end of the canister hose with a strong plastic collar that is thermo bonded to the filter bag. The bag is environmentally friendly and can easily be emptied and washed for continued use. Herky Filters has also developed a Canister Filter, which slides over the primary filter. For smaller wet/dry vacs Herky Filter has developed a round disk that covers the primary filter with a compression ring, which slides over the round disk on top of the primary filter and holds the disk filter in place. With this new line of green High Efficiency Filters your wet/dry vacuum system may be the most efficient vacuum you own!
