SEBO’S FILTRATION SYSTEM
Bagged vs. Bagless . . . Bags are Better! – Top-fill, three and four-layer bags are an integral part of
SEBO's filtration system 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 bottom, 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.

SEBO vacuums offer the following types of filtration configurations:
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.

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.
