FAQ

  • What is the Husqvarna C 3000 pre-separator?

    The Husqvarna C 3000 is a cyclonic pre-separator that captures large volumes of heavy debris and dust before it reaches the main HEPA dust extractor, significantly extending filter life and maintaining high airflow.

  • How does the Husqvarna C 3000 work with laser cleaning systems?

    It is installed inline between the laser cleaning tool (e.g., Kamino-300) and the main extractor (e.g., DE 120) using Ø63 mm antistatic hoses. It separates heavy particles first, protecting downstream HEPA filters and sustaining optimal suction.

  • What are the key benefits of using the C 3000 pre-separator?

    Major benefits include longer HEPA filter life, sustained high airflow, reduced downtime for filter cleaning, and higher overall dust collection efficiency — especially valuable during heavy rust or coating removal projects.

  • How do you empty and maintain the Husqvarna C 3000?

    Stop the main extractor, pull the Longopac bag downward, apply a second cable tie, cut between ties, and dispose according to hazardous waste rules. Inspect hoses and connections regularly; no power or complex maintenance is required.

  • When should you use the C 3000 pre-separator?

    Use it for any high-volume dust job such as large structural steel cleaning, heavy paint/coating removal, or masonry work. It is highly recommended when pairing with the DE 120 to maximize system performance and reduce operating costs.
