Forte F18 HEPA Dust Extractor Vacuum, 120V Single-Motor Concrete Dust Collector, 176 CFM

The Forte F18 HEPA Dust Extractor is a compact, jobsite-ready concrete grinder dust collector built for surface prep, silica dust control, fine dust recovery, and general cleanup. With 176 CFM airflow, 140 inches of water lift, and a two-stage filtration system, the F18 offers strong performance in a smaller, easier-to-move package.

Designed for contractors who need dependable dust capture on standard 120V power, the Forte F18 is a practical solution for smaller grinders, edge work, remodeling dust, and jobs where a larger multi-motor unit would be excessive.

120V operation for easy use on common jobsite power
Two-stage filtration with conical pre-filter and HEPA filtration

Built for Concrete Dust Collection

The Forte F18 is intended for use with concrete grinders and related surface-prep equipment where reliable dust collection matters. Its two-stage filter design helps capture fine debris before it can recirculate into the work area, making it an excellent choice for demanding cleanup and dust-control applications.

Strong Suction with Standard 120V Power

This model runs on 120 volts / 60 Hz and delivers 176 CFM with 140 inches of water lift. That combination gives users solid airflow and practical portability without requiring special power requirements.

Reverse-Air Filter Cleaning

The built-in reverse-air cleaning system helps clear the filter without opening the machine and spreading collected dust back into the air. This can help maintain airflow, reduce downtime, and support cleaner jobsite operation.

Continuous Bagging for Cleaner Disposal

The drop-down bagging system makes disposal easier by allowing dust to be collected and removed with less mess. This design is especially useful on concrete and fine-dust jobs where cleanup speed and containment matter.

Comparable Application Class

The Forte F18 is often considered a strong option for users seeking a compact HEPA concrete dust extractor in the same application class as older single-motor contractor dust collection units.

F18 is a 1-motor HEPA dust extractor, which features a two-stage filtering system, with a conical pre-filter as the first and a HEPA filter as the second. The HEPA filter is individually tested and certified complying H13 EN1822:2209. Equipped with the HEPA, F18 can separate 0.3um dust with an efficiency >99.97%, securing a high standard of quality and safety. The dust extractor uses a unique “reverse-air cleaning” technology which cleans the filter in an easy and effective way, preventing dust from clogging the filter, and thereby maintaining a normal airflow. With this technology, you do not have to open a vacuum to clean the filter and create another dust hazard. F18 is equipped with a continuous drop-down bagging system for collecting dust, providing easy handling of dust. As an option, F18 can use a normal poly bag for dust collecting. F18 comes with a complete floor tool kit, including a Dia. 50, 10 meters of “crush-proof” and anti-statics hose, an Aluminum “S” wand, a crevice tool, and floor tools.
