The SYS-AIR filter can be permanently mounted in the workshop with the SYS-AIR ceiling bracket. Thanks to the T-LOC feature, it can be quickly removed for mobile use, offering complete flexibility for both the jobsite and workshop. The rigid threaded rods and excellent accessibility allow for quick and easy changes of the preliminary and main filters, all without needing any tools.
The main filter is the replacement filter for the SYS-AIR (#577790), featuring a unique TripleV shape with an enlarged surface area, allowing it to capture more dust particles and deliver superior filtration performance. This design reduces rapid clogging and extends the filter's lifespan. It is suitable for effectively handling materials like wood dust.
The main filter is the replacement filter for the SYS-AIR HEPA(#577791), featuring a unique TripleV shape with an extensive surface area, allowing it to capture more dust particles and deliver superior filtration performance. This design minimizes rapid clogging and extends the filter's lifespan. It offers the highest level of filtration available from Festool.
A dust protection wall paired with the SYS-AIR Air Filter (#577790 or #577791) and Air Supply Hose effectively helps to prevent dust and dirt from escaping the work area. It creates a vacuum that directs dust out of the room, helping to improve air quality while keeping surrounding spaces nearly dust-free. The air filter can be easily integrated into the dust protection wall. The flexible 19-1/2 ft (6 m) hose can be positioned directly at the dust source, helping to minimize the spread of dust particles in the room. It’s also suitable for tight spots and small spaces. Everything is easily accessible, portable, and securely stored in a Systainer. The Systainer system can be connected to the air filter or extractor for convenient transport.
The SYS-AIR air filter effectively captures airborne dust that professional extraction may miss, helping to prevent it from settling on surfaces. Its compact Systainer design and lightweight build make it ideal for mobile use. Equipped with a powerful two-stage filter system, it effectively captures even the finest dust particles, preventing contamination and improving the air you breathe. The result? Less cleanup, a cleaner workspace, and noticeably better air quality.

FAQs
How effective is it at removing fine airborne dust?
The SYS‑AIR is designed to capture fine airborne dust that tool‑connected extraction can miss. It uses a two‑stage filtration system (a preliminary filter plus a high‑efficiency main filter; HEPA on the HEPA version) and is rated to remove over 99.9 percent of fine dust particles, helping prevent dust from lingering in the air and settling on surfaces.
Can it be used alongside a CT dust extractor? Yes. The SYS‑AIR is intended to complement CT dust extractors, not replace them. While CT extractors capture dust at the tool, the SYS‑AIR continuously filters residual airborne dust in the room, and it can be stacked or connected with CT extractors via the T‑LOC system for a combined setup.
Can it run continuously, or does it have auto/timer modes?
The SYS‑AIR is designed for continuous operation and offers two selectable airflow levels depending on dust load. It does not include automatic start, tool‑triggered operation, or timer modes; it is turned on and off manually and runs as long as needed for air cleaning.
