Particulate matter consists of tiny particles in the air that are produced by natural processes and human activities and can be inhaled. Particulate matter from wood-burning appliances, such as fireplaces and tiled stoves, is of particular concern.The burning of wood produces particles and gases that form particulate matter. Depending on their size, these particles can […]
No. If the chimney is cleaned as recommended every heating season, this should be sufficient in most cases.In fact, the use of a dust extractor does not affect the frequency of cleaning, but the intensity of cleaning.The amount of ash will increase significantly – this amount has simply been blown through the chimney without a […]
Even with a dust collector, the chimney can still be cleaned normally and regularly without much effort.The chimney sweep can either clean from the bottom or, if there is a cleaning opening, from the top.In most cases, this opening can also be retrofitted with an adapter, for example for dust extractors on the roof. To […]
Some electrostatic dust extractors have an automatic cleaning function. A shaking mechanism ensures that the trapped particles fall back down the chimney as ash. However, all electrostatic dust extractors need to be cleaned manually on a regular basis. It is usually sufficient to open the collector and quickly clean the electrode and other components, for […]
No, but there can be positive effects. For example, if the separator has a chimney fan, the draught is optimised and the stove burns more efficiently. You need less wood to produce the same amount of heat.

The annual power consumption depends heavily on how the woodburning stove is used. On average, the dust collector uses about 30 watts per hour in operation and about two watts per hour in standby mode. This is about the same as a modern flat screen TV. The vacuum cleaner operates at high voltage, usually between […]
In principle, the separation of particles is silent, but there are operational noises. If the vacuum cleaner has an automatic cleaning system, you can usually hear the cleaning process. Some units ‘shake’ for a few seconds every few hours during operation as standard. The closer you are to the separator, the clearer you will hear […]
