First-Stage Filtration for DustPRO Universal Extraction Systems
The BOFA filter bag (Part No. 1UA1030170) functions as the primary filtration stage in the DustPRO Universal dust extraction system.
During operation, contaminated air first passes through the bag filter where larger dust particles and swarf are captured before reaching the HEPA filter stage. This staged filtration system helps maintain extraction performance while protecting the HEPA filter from premature blockage.
Key Features & Benefits
Large Capacity Polyester Filter Design
The DustPRO Universal extraction unit incorporates a large 18-litre filter bag constructed using non-woven polyester filter media. The bag is designed for durability and consistent filtration performance in industrial environments.
Key features include:
-
Non-woven polyester filter media for reliable particulate capture
-
Suspended bag filter design
-
High airflow compatibility with DustPRO extraction systems
-
Secure sealing to prevent air bypass
-
Approx. 18-litre capacity
This design ensures effective first-stage filtration while maintaining airflow efficiency.
F8 Rated Filtration
The BOFA 1UA1030170 filter bag provides F8 filtration efficiency (approximately 95 % at 0.9 microns), capturing medium and coarse dust particles generated during industrial operations.
Benefits include:
-
Reduced dust load on the HEPA filter
-
Improved extraction airflow
-
Extended HEPA filter lifespan
-
Lower overall maintenance costs

Extraction Units
BOFA DustPRO Universal Standalone Dust Extraction Unit – Industrial HEPA Extraction System
Equivalent HEPA Filter
The DustPRO Universal uses a 2-stage filtration system:
-
Filter Bag (1UA1030170) → captures larger particles
-
HEPA Filter (1UA1030161) → captures fine particulate (99.995% @ 0.3 microns)
Both filters work together to ensure maximum filtration efficiency and system protection

Maintenance & Replacement
Regular filter replacement is essential to maintain extraction efficiency and airflow performance.
BOFA recommends replacing filters:
-
When the system indicates filter blockage
-
When airflow performance decreases
-
As part of scheduled annual maintenance
Actual replacement frequency depends on the application and the dust load generated.
Used filters should not be cleaned or reused, as this may damage the filtration media and reduce efficiency.
