formula eco Dust Extractors
Solid Wood Processing — SCM Group
Easy-to-use and economical dust extractors with outer filter bags designed for efficient dust and shavings collection. Available in multiple configurations to suit different workshop requirements.
The formula eco dust extractor series is a modular collection of stationary dust collection systems designed to capture and separate fine dust and wood shavings at the source in woodworking facilities. Each unit employs an outer filter bag arrangement with automated or manual cleaning mechanisms, enabling continuous operation across multiple connected machines or workstations without workflow interruption.
The series spans five distinct configurations, with airflow capacities ranging from 2,550 m³/h in single-bag models to 4,560 m³/h in four-bag units, paired with proportionally scaled motor outputs from 1.5 kW to 5 kW. Larger configurations feature increased bag diameters (up to 1,850 mm) and higher total filter areas (0.79 m³ capacity), allowing extended operational periods between filter maintenance. Exhaust outlet options scale from 2 to 4 connections at 100 mm diameter, enabling flexible connection to band saws, planers, sanders, and other dust-generating equipment simultaneously.
This product line targets small to medium workshops and contract manufacturers who require scalable dust management without the capital investment of industrial central systems. Single and dual-bag models suit confined spaces with limited machine connectivity, while three and four-bag configurations serve integrated production areas handling mixed solid wood processing—planing, sanding, crosscutting, and routing operations. The modular approach allows workshops to match extractor capacity to actual connected load, optimizing energy consumption and filter longevity for operations ranging from 5 to 30+ employees.
Within the mid-range dust extractor category, the formula eco series competes primarily on configurability and operational cost efficiency rather than peak performance. Units are positioned below centralized plant systems (which demand permanent ducting infrastructure) and above portable single-machine extractors, making them suitable for retrofit installations and workshops with evolving machine layouts.

Applications
panel and laminate processing
medium workshopFour-bag formula eco extractors (4,560 m³/h, 0.79 m³ filter capacity) are sized for panel shops processing plywood, MDF, and veneer-faced stock with multiple sanding and trimming operations. Extended filter capacity reduces maintenance frequency during shifts handling fine dust from planing and edge sanding, while four exhaust connections support stationary sanders, sizing equipment, and dust-critical finishing stations.
medium cabinet and millwork production
medium workshopThree to four-bag configurations (4,560 m³/h airflow, 3.7–5 kW motors) support cabinet shops and custom millwork producers running 8–15 connected machines: table saws, panel saws, edge banders, sanders, and routing centers. Four exhaust attachments enable simultaneous dust extraction from primary shaping and finishing stations, critical for maintaining dust-free work environments and protecting finished surfaces during assembly operations.
timber construction and framing
medium workshopDual or three-bag models (3,900–4,560 m³/h) serve timber frame and structural component producers handling repeated cuts and milling of solid dimensional lumber. Higher airflow capacities manage the larger particle volumes generated by crosscutting and rough milling, while multiple outlets support dedicated connections to horizontal and vertical saws, maintaining consistent chip evacuation during high-volume production runs.
small workshop solid wood crafting
small workshopSingle or dual-bag formula eco units (2,550 m³/h airflow, 1.5 kW motor) serve bespoke furniture makers and artisan woodworkers operating 3–5 machines concurrently. Two exhaust outlets accommodate a thickness planer and wide-belt sander, capturing shavings and fine dust to maintain air quality and reduce manual cleanup during custom piece production.
