Air Filter Cleaner Now On The Market

Air Filter Cleaner Now On The Market TRACTORS Accessories 22-4-3 Last year we featured Stan Lapnisky's do-it-yourself filter cleaner on the front cover of our Vol. 21, No. 2 issue. The tremendous response from readers across North America prompted Lapnisky, of Andrew, Alberta, to put the unit on the market. "Some of the big tractor, combine or semi-truck filters cost $150 or more. I've cleaned big filters as many as 20 times in my cleaner without any damage," says Lapnisky, who's already sold several production units at about $4,000 (U.S.) apiece. "It's built strong and is trouble-free. If you go through a lot of filters, it'll pay for itself in no time," he says. The filter cleaner is a two-way cleaner that uses air pressure and vacuum suction to both blow and suck dust from the inside and out-side of the filter without damaging the paper elements. Works on any air filter from 4 in. dia. to 16 in. dia. and up to 30 in. high. That means you can use it on car and pickup filters, too. You set the filter on a rotating table. A small air pipe slides up and down inside the filter, pushing air through the filter to blow dust out. Vacuum pressure outside the filter sucks dust away. Air-pressure cylinders hold the filter tightly in place while it's being cleaned. There's a test light on the opposite side of the machine that can be lowered down inside the filter to test for cracks or tears in the paper.
