Functions
The Remodeler's Dust Extractor
No more clogged filters – the AUTOCLEAN (AC) automatic main filter cleaning keeps the filter clean and provides a continuously high suction power. With its huge container capacity of 12.7 gal (48 l), the CT 48 AC provides maximum volume and a high degree of flexibility. Equipped with swiveling front casters and large rear wheels for optimum mobility. It also has a locking brake that provides stability on any surface as well as during transport. The flat filter fully integrated with the suction head ensures the full volume of the tank is utilized: This means that the gross and net container volumes are nearly identical. The extremely compact high-performance turbine provides the right suction power. A 137 CFM volume flow means that virtually nothing remains except clean air.
- OSHA Table 1 Silica dust control solution for the applications outlined as; iii, vii, viii, x, xi, xii (always check your local guidelines to ensure the proper equipment and PPE is being used for the given application)
- HEPA Filtration helps to ensure compliance with best practices as directed by OSHA and the EPA (please check your local jurisdiction for compliance)
- AC (AutoClean) Function automatically cycles the filter cleaning action to help ensure optimum airflow and suction performance
- High volume capacity for big jobs with high dust volume reduces downtime for filter bag changes
- The tapered 36-32 mm hose ensures optimal airflow and keeps both the volume of air and velocity of the air at a high level, ensuring adequate dust extraction for nearly any application
- Ready to work – included reducer allows for connection to all Festool products with both a 36mm and a 27mm port
- 3-piece cleaning accessory kit gives you the attachments you need to keep even the most difficult areas and surfaces clean
- With AUTOCLEAN function
Product Details
-
Filter cleaning. Automatic.
AUTOCLEAN (AC) automatically cleans the main filter. The suction power therefore remains high at all times. The benefits of this include time savings, longer work intervals, less maintenance effort, and cost savings.
-
Manual cleaning.
Even heavily clogged filters can be cleaned. When the container inlet is closed manually with the blast gate (optional), a strong vacuum is generated, which cleans the filter with maximum force.
-
Cleaning accessories included.
The supplied 3-piece cleaning accessory set helps you to keep a clean site, vehicle and shop.
-
Safe transport.
Accessories and tools in the Systainer and SORTAINER can be easily attached to the extractor via the SYS-Dock.
-
Everything in perfect order.
The power cable and suction hose are stored tidily and optimally protected in the permanently integrated Festool hose garage and cable holder.
-
High suction power.
Extremely powerful, compact and light: The high-performance turbine provides considerably higher suction power and requires very little space.
-
Tear-resistant fleece filter bag.
The fleece filter bags are self-cleaning because they collapse after the extractor is turned off. This SELFCLEAN effect guarantees consistently high suction performance until the bag is full to capacity.
-
Disposable bag.
Perfect for dust extractors with AUTOCLEAN, e.g. for extracting coarse dirt and chips. Dust-free disposal via a lock on the disposable bag.
-
Fast maintenance.
An optimized approach to servicing saves time and money by shortening the time required for repairs. The structural design allows faster access to the spot where repairs are needed.
-
Mobile-ready.
The locking brake ensures that the extractor will remain in place. The large wheels prevent the extractor from tipping over. The wheels can be turned, and the material that they are made from is resistant to wear. Because of the location of its center of gravity, the extractor is easy to carry.
-
Large capacity.
The filter bag is free to unfold because of the flat filter and the smooth inner contours of the container. This allows the bag to be filled uniformly and a nearly 100% utilization of the filter bag volume.
-
Extremely versatile.
For dust, jobsite debris, and water. When extracting water, the LevelStop shuts down the drive in good time and the motor remains protected. The wet filter can be set in place with just a few simple steps.

Questions & Answers
Popular Questions
Variable speed control allows you to adjust the tool’s speed for different materials and tasks, increasing versatility and precision. Stepless controls provide smooth transitions for even finer adjustments. Festool tools often feature this capability, letting you slow down for delicate surfaces or speed up for rapid material removal. The Festool 577520 Finish Delta Sander DTS 400 REQ-Plus offers stepless variable speed for optimal finishing, while the Festool 577619 Cordless Drill C 18 HPC 4,0 I-Set provides electronic torque and speed adjustment for maximum control. A variety of speed control options are available to fit your preferences.
A dust extractor works by using a powerful motor to create suction, which pulls dust and debris through a hose and into a collection container or filter. The air is then filtered to remove fine particles before being released back into the environment, helping to keep workspaces clean and safe.

A dust extraction system works by using a network of ducts and a powerful fan to capture airborne dust and particles from work areas. The system draws the contaminated air through filters that trap the dust, then releases clean air back into the environment. This helps maintain air quality and protects workers’ health.

The three main parts of a dust collection system are the capture hood, blast gates the ductwork, and the dust collector. The capture hood gathers dust at the source, the ductwork transports the dust-laden air, and the dust collector separates and collects the dust from the air.

There are several types of dust collector machines, including baghouse (fabric filter) dust collectors, cartridge dust collectors, cyclone (centrifugal) dust collectors, and wet scrubbers. Each type is designed to capture and remove airborne dust particles from industrial processes, with selection depending on factors like particle size, air volume, and application.

Yes, dust extraction is often a legal requirement in many workplaces where hazardous dust is produced, such as in construction or woodworking. Regulations like the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) in the UK require employers to control dust exposure to protect workers’ health. Compliance may involve installing appropriate dust extraction systems and maintaining them properly.
