Felder RL 140 Clean Air Dust Extractor FAQs

What is the Felder RL 140 Clean Air Dust Extractor?

The Felder RL 140 Clean Air Dust Extractor is a high-performance dust and chip extraction system designed to deliver clean air in woodworking and panel-processing environments while minimizing airborne dust and emissions. It belongs to Felder’s Clean-Air RL series of industrial extractors. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

What type of extraction system is the RL 140?

The RL 140 is a **clean air dust extractor**, meaning it uses a high-efficiency filtration system and a negative-pressure design to remove fine dust from the air and ensure low residual dust emission. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

What applications is the RL 140 suitable for?

The RL 140 is suitable for extracting dust and chips from woodworking machines such as saws, routers, sanders, planers, and CNC equipment processing wood, panel products, and some plastics. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

How effective is the dust extraction performance?

Felder clean-air extractors like the RL 140 achieve **dust emissions of less than 0.1 mg/m³**, meeting H3 standard residual dust content levels for clean-air extraction. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

What is the maximum airflow of the RL 140?

The RL 140 delivers a **maximum airflow of approximately 2,500 m³/h (≈1475 CFM)** and a nominal airflow of around 1,108 m³/h (≈652 CFM), supporting effective extraction across multiple machines. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

What extraction port size does it use?

The dust extractor uses a **Ø 140 mm (5½″) extraction connector**, compatible with common woodworking extraction ducting. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

What is the filter capacity and type?

The RL 140 uses a cartridge filter system with a **10 m² filter surface area**, helping sustain consistent airflow and effective filtration. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

How does the clean-air design work?

Unlike conventional extractors, the RL 140 places the fan on the **clean air side**, creating a negative-pressure environment that prevents dust from escaping through leaks and maintains cleaner airflow. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

How large is the dust collection capacity?

The RL 140 features a **large chip/dust collection bin (~200 L / ~53 gal)** for extended operation between emptying cycles. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

Does the RL 140 support automatic filter cleaning?

Optional automatic filter cleaning systems are available, using compressed air to facilitate sustained extraction performance with less manual maintenance. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}

Can the RL 140 power multiple machines?

Yes — with optional **automatic start and electric gate systems**, the RL 140 can be configured to start extraction when any of several machines begins operation. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}

How does it impact workshop air quality?

By reducing residual dust in the environment to H3 levels (<0.1 mg/m³), the RL 140 significantly improves workshop air quality and helps maintain cleaner surfaces and breathing conditions. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}

What electrical configurations are available?

Felder offers the RL 140 in various electrical configurations, including **1×230 V or 3×230/400 V options**, depending on regional standards and workshop power availability. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}

Is the RL 140 designed for mobility?

Yes. The RL 140 is designed to be **mobile and space-saving**, making it suitable for shops with limited floor space while delivering industrial-grade extraction performance. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}

Why choose the Felder RL 140 Clean Air Dust Extractor?

The RL 140 offers **high extraction efficiency, low residual dust emissions, large dust-collection capacity, and flexible configuration options**, making it a robust solution for professional woodworking environments that require effective dust management. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}
