Vacuum Filter Discs for VFB and VFDB Vacuum Suction Cups
Vacuforce CFD vacuum filter discs are designed to fit inside the VFB and VFDB series vacuum suction cups, protecting vacuum generators, pumps and vacuum tubing from dust, fibres and other airborne contaminants. These fine mesh filter discs provide a large filtration surface area while maintaining excellent airflow for reliable vacuum performance.
Installed directly inside the suction cup, CFD filter discs provide point-of-use filtration where contaminants first enter the vacuum system. This helps extend the service life of vacuum ejectors, vacuum pumps and other downstream components while reducing maintenance requirements.

Why Install a Vacuum Filter Disc?
During vacuum lifting, dust, cardboard fibres, wood particles and other contaminants can be drawn through the suction cup into the vacuum system. Over time these contaminants may reduce vacuum performance or damage sensitive vacuum equipment.
Installing a CFD filter disc inside the suction cup provides the first line of defence by capturing contaminants before they reach the vacuum lines or vacuum generator.

Maintaining Vacuum Filter Discs
Vacuum filter discs should be inspected regularly as part of routine preventive maintenance. Depending on the application, filters can often be cleaned and reused or replaced when excessive contamination is present to maintain optimum vacuum performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a vacuum filter disc?
A vacuum filter disc is a fine mesh filter installed inside a vacuum suction cup to prevent dust, fibres and debris from entering the vacuum system.
Which suction cups use CFD filter discs?
CFD filter discs are designed specifically for Vacuforce VFB and VFDB series vacuum suction cups.
Why should I use a filter disc?
Filter discs help protect vacuum generators, vacuum pumps and tubing from contaminants, improving system reliability and reducing maintenance.
Can vacuum filter discs be cleaned?
Yes. Depending on the application and level of contamination, filter discs can often be cleaned and reused or replaced when necessary.
Are filter discs easy to replace?
Yes. CFD filter discs are designed for quick installation and replacement during routine maintenance.
What contaminants do vacuum filter discs capture?
They help capture cardboard fibres, wood dust, paper dust, plastic particles and other airborne debris before it enters the vacuum system.
Do filter discs reduce vacuum performance?
The fine mesh design provides a large filtration area that minimizes airflow restriction while helping protect the vacuum system from contamination.
Where are vacuum filter discs commonly used?
They are widely used in packaging, woodworking, material handling, robotic automation and other vacuum cup applications where airborne debris is present.
