Paper Filter - 510/512 - 18.12 x 9.62 x 2.7 (Item #FTDP85298)
Key Benefits
The Paper Filter 510/512 is a high-performance replacement filter designed to keep cleaning equipment operating at peak efficiency. Measuring 18.12 x 9.62 x 2.7 inches, this filter is engineered to capture fine dust, dirt, and other airborne particles before they can circulate back into the air. Its precise fit ensures maximum airflow while maintaining a strong seal, which helps protect both the machine’s motor and the indoor environment. By keeping contaminants trapped, the filter contributes to improved air quality for operators and occupants, making it an essential part of any professional cleaning routine.
Why It Matters
Filters play a vital role in the performance of vacuum and cleaning equipment. Without an effective filter, dust and fine debris can escape, reducing the machine’s effectiveness and causing unnecessary wear to internal components. Over time, clogged or poorly fitted filters can cause suction loss, strain on the motor, and even costly repairs. The Paper Filter 510/512 prevents these issues by ensuring efficient dust capture and steady airflow. Regular filter replacement is not only a maintenance necessity but also a step toward creating a cleaner, healthier environment in commercial, industrial, and residential spaces. For cleaning professionals, maintaining filtration systems also demonstrates reliability and quality of service to clients.
Applications
- Capturing dust and debris in heavy-duty industrial vacuum systems
- Supporting air filtration in IPC Eagle 510 and 512 units
- Commercial cleaning contracts in offices, schools, and hospitals
- Use in manufacturing environments where fine dust is present
- Maintaining air quality in retail spaces, showrooms, and other public facilities
Installation Tips
Replacing the filter is simple, but correct installation is essential to maintain efficiency. Always turn off and unplug the equipment before starting the replacement process. Remove the worn filter carefully to avoid releasing trapped dust back into the air. Insert the new filter with proper alignment, ensuring it sits flush with the housing for a tight seal. A secure fit prevents air leaks, ensuring the vacuum performs at its best. After installation, inspect the unit for any gaps or loose fittings before restarting operation. For added convenience, keeping extra filters on hand ensures minimal downtime during regular maintenance schedules.
Compatibility & Fit
This filter is designed specifically for IPC Eagle 510 and 512 models. With dimensions of 18.12 x 9.62 x 2.7 inches, it provides the correct fit needed for reliable filtration and airflow. While it may appear similar to other replacement filters, always verify measurements and compatibility with your unit before purchasing. Using an incorrect size may compromise performance and cause dust leakage or strain on the equipment.
