6005-0007 or Hepa filter HF2
The soundbox VP6 must be operated with a suitable air filter system on the intake side.
We recommend to use our HF2 filter system. When operated in the vacuum mode a
water separator may be necessary. In the pressure mode it must be verified that the
ground conditions withstand a process air temperature of approx. 70°C.
Use tubes of 50 mm diameter for efficient drying. Smaller tubes result
in high energy consumption and longer drying times.
