Powerful filter cleaning with Festool blast gate

Practical benefits

Deep and thorough cleaning: Closing the gate creates a strong vacuum that rapidly knocks accumulated dust off the filter.
Sustained high suction power: You maintain maximum airflow and dust extraction efficiency with quick cleaning cycles during demanding work.
Clean and sealed transport: You prevent collected dust from escaping or spilling from the container during jobsite transportation.

In a nutshell

The right choise for

With the Festool vs-ct AC/SRM45 Planex blast gate, you maximize the performance of your dust extractor during demanding sanding and renovation jobs. By closing the gate while the extractor is running, you create a powerful vacuum in the container that knocks stubborn plaster and fine dust out of the main filter. This instantly restores strong, consistent suction power. In addition, sealing the suction inlet prevents hazardous fine dust from escaping during vehicle transport. When paired with a Y-piece splitter, it also acts as a practical shut-off valve for managing individual suction lines.
