S-class, Pre-motor Microfilters – S-class, Pre-motor
Microfilters (S =“Schwebstoff” = airborne particles) are
made from electrostatically charged, micro-fiber material,
which attracts and captures dust particles from the airflow
of the vacuum before it passes over the motor to cool it.
Cooling the motor with super-clean air increases motor
life and reduces the possibility of maintenance, even after
many years of use. The S-class Standard requires filters
to absorb greater than 99.9% of particles down to 0.3
microns in diameter. For comparison, 100 microns is
the diameter of a human hair. Their advantages are a
relatively open texture that allows smoother airflow for
better suction performance, a longer life expectancy,
and they cost less than HEPA filters.

FELIX and AIRBELT D MODELS
Pre-motor Filters – Pre-motor filters clean suction air after
it passes through the filter bag, but before it passes over
the vacuum motor. Cooling the motor with clean air is
important because this increases useful life expectancy.
S-class, Exhaust Microfilters – S-class, Exhaust Microfilters
(S =“Schwebstoff” = airborne particles) are made from
electrostatically charged, micro-fiber material, which
attracts and captures dust particles from the airflow of the
vacuum after it passes over the motor to cool it. This
m
eans that exhaust air is cleaned to the highest level. The
S-class Standard requires filters to absorb greater than
99.9% of particles down to 0.3 microns in diameter. For
comparison, 100 microns is the diameter of a human hair.

HEPA, Pre-motor Microfilters (Optional) – HEPA, Pre-motor
Microfilters (“High Efficiency Particulate Air”) remove a
minimum of 99.97% of all airborne particulate matter down
to 0.3 microns in diameter.
Because these filters use small,
grid-like structures to capture
dust particles, dirt build-up clogs
the airflow pathway sooner than
what is expected from S-class
microfilters. However, SEBO’s
HEPA microfilters are sold along
with four-layer “Ultra-bags,” which
provide highly effective filtration before the airflow goes
through the HEPA microfilter, greatly increasing life
expectancy and reducing the potential of diminished air flow.
Exhaust Filters – Exhaust filters clean the air emitted by
vacuum motors.

Bagged vs. Bagless . . . Bags are Better! – Top-fill, three and
four-layer bags are an integral part of SEBO’s filtration
s
ystem because they hold virtually all dirt captured by the
vacuum, which improves the effectiveness and useful life
of the microfilters. They also ensure continuously strong
suction because dirt enters from the top, deposits at the
b
ottom, accumulates upward, and air exits through the
sides, which allows unimpeded airflow as
they fill to capacity. And they can be sealed
when full, so no dust can escape into the air
during bag removal and disposal.
In contrast, without bags to hold nearly all
the captured dirt, the microfilters on bagless
vacuums quickly clog from excessive dirt
build-up and must be replaced often, or a loss of suction
and cleaning effectiveness will occur. In addition, dust and
other allergens become airborne when emptying bagless
dirt containers. Lastly, bagless vacuum microfilters are
expensive, usually costing more than a multi-year supply
of SEBO filter bags.
