How does SEBO filtration work?

Not all filters are the same: SEBO give highly effective filtration and excellent airflow, by harnessing the power of electrostatic attraction. SEBO filters use a relatively open structure of electrostatically charged fibres. They let the air pass through easily, but literally pull the particles out of the airstream and hold onto them with their static charge. We regard this as the ultimate filtration technology.

To meet the S-CLASS standard the filtration system has to remove a minimum of 99.97% of particles of 0.3 microns. The SEBO S-CLASS system will remove 100% of particles of 1 micron and above.

Instead of relying on just one primary filter, SEBO use a multi-level cascade system, so that even if one filter isn’t fitted correctly, effective filtration is still guaranteed. Indeed, SEBO tests the filtration of the complete vacuum cleaner, rather than just the filters, which ensures that seals and joints are dust tight.

Filter stage 1 - The UltraBag

Made from the same material as medical masks, the SEBO UltraBag safely retains virtually all dust that is picked up. Using multiple layers of electrostatic fleece, they fill to the top and remain pure white on the outside, even if full of fine dust. They keep the inside of the vacuum spotlessly clean, prolonging the life of the other filters and of course, they allow completely hygienic disposal of dirt. 

 

Filter stage 2 - The Pre-Motor Filter

The pre-motor filter is fitted after the bag and filters the air before it enters the motor. Aside from filtration, its main task is to prevent debris that could have got into the vacuum body from entering and damaging the motor.

 

Filter stage 3 - The Exhaust Filter

Before the air leaves the vacuum cleaner, it is cleaned again by the final electrostatic filter. Once this has happened, the air emitted from the vacuum is cleaner than the ambient room air.

Automatic Height Adjustment

At the heart of the SEBO X ranges’ performance and reliability is a computer control system. The computer measures brush action and uses a servo motor to adjust the power head up or down to provide optimal cleaning of both carpets and hard floors.

 

Boost Function

Some X models offer a boost function - ideal for reviving compressed carpet pile, or removing trodden in hair and fibre.  The standard setting is perfect for most flooring types, but by simply by pressing the Boost button, the computer will activate a deeper brush action and the Boost button will turn green to show that it is in operation. Pressing the button again will turn off Boost and It is automatically de-activated when the vacuum cleaner is turned off.

 

Auto-shut off

When the bag full/blockage indicator is on for more than 30 seconds, or the brush is jammed, the computer control system will automatically shut the machine down to prevent damage to the machine. The relevant light will flash to indicate the reason for the shut-down.

 

LED SearchLight

Certain X models feature SearchLight, an LED headlight which illuminates the floor in front of the vacuum cleaner – fantastic for darker areas and under furniture.

Twin Motor Design

The FELIX range uses a separate suction and brush motor. This allows the powerhead to have a very low profile for reaching under furniture.

 

Brush ON/OFF

A button on the powerhead enables the brush motor to be turned off for use on delicate floors.

 

Swivel Neck

For congested areas and getting around furniture, the FELIX features a rotating swivel neck which gives the ultimate in manoeuvrability.

 

Exhaust Filter

The FELIX exhaust filter wraps around the body of the machine. This makes it highly effective by giving it a huge surface area and also diffuses the exhaust air so that it doesn’t disturb its environment. With its textile outer layer, it also lets you customise the appearance of the vacuum.

 

ET1 Electric Power Head

The electric carpet brush is ideal for thorough and gentle cleaning of carpets. It also picks up stubborn pet hair and lint. The SEBO ET can be easily adjusted to different carpet piles thanks to the 4-way manual height adjustment. If the brush is blocked, the device switches off automatically. The round brush can be easily removed for cleaning, cleaned or replaced at the push of a button.  For sensitive floor coverings, the brush motor can simply be switched off with the foot switch.

Intelligent Motor Protection

Reliability is very important to us at SEBO. Intelligent Motor Protection prevents damage to the motor by automatically turning down power when the air flow is reduced by a blockage. The vacuum cleaner will still function, but the machine will alert you that there is a problem by the blue power button light turning red and the motor speed will be reduced.

 

SEBO Power Boost (E Series)

The Boost function literally takes performance to a higher level. With a turn of the dial, the motor goes to 1200W to give a temporary lift in power for difficult cleaning tasks, such as picking up pet hair.

 

One Touch Cable Rewind (E Series)

No need to press and hold the button to rewind your cable, just press once and the cable will rewind back into the machine effortlessly.

 

ErgoGrip Handle

SEBO cylinders separate the handle from the hose as their shape requirements are completely different. The ErgoGrip handle is comfortable to hold due to its ergonomically sculpted form.   The hose is optimised for suction without the compromise of having to be designed to be held.

 

AIRBELT Technology

The patented AIRBELT soft bumper system protects walls and furniture against bumps and bashes whilst pulling the machine behind you. It also spreads the exhaust stream, preventing disturbance of surrounding air.

 

SEBO Kombi

A SEBO-designed and made floor tool that is designed to clean hard floors and all types of carpet.  The articulated flexible joint allows it to manoeuvre easily and the low profile lets it get under low furniture with ease.

 

Floor Turbo Brush Pro

The air driven brush roller is designed to clean carpeted floors, pick up hairs and groom carpet pile as you clean. It is also suitable for hard floor.

 

Parquet Brush

The 'flex' neck design provides superb manoeuvrability. With floating natural bristle brush strips and soft wheels it is ideal for any type of hard floor such as wood, tiles, or natural stone.

 

Stair & Upholstery Trubo brush

A handheld mini turbo brush with an air driven rotating brush for small areas. Ideal for stairs, upholstery and pet hair. Lifts carpet pile and gives superior fibre and hair pick up. Suitable for all SEBO models.
