AEG 6051-042
Product Category: Activated Carbon Exhaust Filter for Vacuum Cleaners
Product Introduction:
The AEG 6051-042 is an activated carbon exhaust filter designed to neutralize odors emitted during vacuuming. It is installed as the final-stage filter at the vacuum’s air outlet and is particularly effective in households with pets, smokers, or cooking-heavy environments.
Detailed content
Technical Specifications:
- Filter Type: Activated granular carbon (charcoal) filter
- Odor Absorption Capacity: High — targets VOCs, smoke, pet odors, cooking smells
- Dimensions: Approximately 115 x 90 x 25 mm
- Carbon Type: Coconut shell activated carbon granules
- Compatibility: AEG Vampyr, AEG Super 2000, AEG Ergomaxx, AEG CE series vacuums
- Replacement Interval: Every 3–6 months
- Quantity per Pack: 1 piece
Structural Features:
- Carbon granules encapsulated within a breathable non-woven fabric cartridge
- Rectangular block form factor matching standard AEG filter housings
- Perimeter foam seal ensuring zero air bypass
- Easy-grip tab for quick removal and installation
Material Composition:
- Active Media: Coconut shell activated carbon (BET surface area > 1000 m²/g)
- Encapsulation: Polypropylene non-woven fabric
- Seal: Polyurethane foam gasket
- Color: Black (carbon visible through semi-transparent wrap)
Working Principle:
As exhaust air passes through the activated carbon bed, odor-causing molecules (VOCs, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, nicotine residues) are adsorbed onto the vast surface area of the carbon granules via physical adsorption (van der Waals forces). The carbon’s microporous structure traps gas molecules while allowing clean air to pass through. This process is purely physical — no chemical reaction occurs.
Key Advantages:
- Eliminates vacuum exhaust odors — critical for pet owners and smokers
- Coconut shell carbon provides superior adsorption compared to coal-based carbon
- Maintains airflow — minimal pressure drop across the filter
- Universal AEG fit across multiple vacuum series
Applicable Industries / Use Cases:
- Pet-owning households
- Smoker households
- Kitchen-adjacent cleaning
- Hotel room vacuuming between guests
Installation Requirements:
- Install as the final filter in the exhaust chain (after HEPA or foam filter)
- Ensure correct orientation — airflow direction arrow must point toward room
- Push firmly into housing until the retaining clip engages
Usage Notes:
- Not washable — activated carbon loses adsorption capacity when wet
- Replace on schedule even if no visible odor — carbon saturates invisibly
- Store in a cool, dry place — heat and humidity reduce carbon effectiveness
- Do not expose to direct sunlight or moisture before use
