Mirka continues to clean-up with its new extractor
Mirka UK is expanding its extractor range with the introduction of the new Mirka® DEXOS 1217 M AFC dust extractor. This M class extractor blends power and versatility to ensure users have a dust-free work environment.
The Mirka® DEXOS 1217 M AFC is powered by a 1200 watt brushless electric motor, designed by the R&D team to be durable and to ensure dust is quickly and efficiently extracted. Alongside the power, the new extractor is versatile because it can handle both wet and dry applications as well as being compatible with multiple tool types. It also comes with two sockets with auto start capabilities. This feature ensures the dust extraction system activates simultaneously with the power tool, so any dust and debris is captured by the extractor as soon as the tool is in use.
To ensure the DEXOS can work for long periods without a break, it has automatic filter cleaning capabilities, which ensure consistent suction from the first use to the last. In addition, there is an integrated airflow sensor that provides users with real-time feedback on its performance via the MyMirka app, so they are aware of any deviations from the optimal flow rates of the tool.
The extractor’s ergonomic design makes it easy to handle and manoeuvre around job sites and its built-in storage space accommodates the 4 metre hose. It is also compatible with the Mirka case and toolbox as well as existing Mirka hoses. This enables users to have everything they require in one place. In addition, it has an easy-to-clean construction that ensures hassle-free maintenance as and when required.
One of the DEXOS’ innovative features is the Bluetooth-enabled remote control (sold separately) that is strapped around the dust hose and senses tool vibrations to start the extractor and offers the user two operating modes: auto sense and manual.
The extractor’s bluetooth connectivity also enables it to connect to the MyMirka app. Via the app, the user will be able to access numerous insights from air flow indication to a running time display and a hot PCB alarm. These insights provide the user with comprehensive monitoring of the tool, so it can perform at optimal level and users are aware of any issues.
