Atrix 31700 Safeguard Toner & Dust Filter – 1‑Gallon for Omega Vacuums

Description

Product Overview

The Atrix 31700 Safeguard toner and dust filter cartridge is engineered for the Omega series of upright vacuums, including models such as VACOMEGA, VACOMEGAS, and VACOSE110. Measuring 11.75 x 5.63 x 5.63 inches and weighing 1.38 pounds, the unit fits seamlessly into the existing filter housing without modification. Its core construction features a high‑impact resistance polypropylene copolymer shell that protects the filter media while providing a lightweight, corrosion‑resistant enclosure.

Inside the housing, the filter media consists of 43 pleats of electrostatically charged synthetic fibers. This design delivers an 88% filtration efficiency at 0.3 micron, effectively trapping fine dust, toner particles, and color toner that are common by‑products of commercial printing environments. The cartridge holds up to one gallon of collected material, reducing the frequency of change-outs and extending operational uptime for facilities that rely on continuous cleaning cycles.

Compatibility is a key advantage of the Atrix 31700. The cartridge is certified for use with Atrix Omega series vacuums, as well as 3M 497 series and SCS 497 series models, making it a versatile choice for multi‑brand cleaning fleets. The product is manufactured in the United States, adhering to strict quality‑control standards, and includes a 30‑day warranty that covers material defects.

Usage

Designed for commercial and institutional settings, this filter cartridge excels in environments where airborne particulates can affect both equipment performance and indoor air quality. Typical applications include office buildings, schools, hospitals, and printing facilities where toner dust is a regular concern. The cartridge’s high‑efficiency media captures particles that smaller, standard filters might miss, helping to maintain a healthier workspace for occupants and reducing the load on HVAC systems.

Installation is straightforward: simply remove the existing filter, insert the Atrix 31700 cartridge, and secure the housing according to the vacuum’s user manual. The 1‑gallon capacity allows for extended service intervals, which is especially beneficial for high‑traffic areas that require frequent cleaning. Users can monitor filter performance by visual inspection of the transparent housing; when the filter appears saturated, replacement is recommended to preserve suction power and filtration effectiveness.

FAQ

What vacuums are compatible with the Atrix 31700 filter?

The cartridge is compatible with all Atrix Omega series models, including VACOMEGA, VACOMEGAS, and VACOSE110, as well as 3M 497 series and SCS 497 series upright vacuums. Compatibility is confirmed by matching the filter dimensions and mounting style.

How often should the filter be replaced?

Replacement frequency depends on usage intensity and the amount of particulate matter captured. In typical commercial settings, the 1‑gallon capacity allows for replacement every 3‑6 months. Users should inspect the filter visually; when the media appears saturated or airflow drops noticeably, it is time to replace the cartridge.

Is the filter safe for capturing color toner?

Yes. The electrostatically charged synthetic fibers are designed to trap both standard dust and color toner particles without releasing them back into the environment. This makes the Atrix 31700 suitable for printing offices and graphic design studios where colored toner is prevalent.

What is included in the package?

Each package contains a single Atrix 31700 filter cartridge, pre‑assembled in its polypropylene housing. No additional components or tools are required for installation.

Can I recycle the filter after use?

The polypropylene housing is recyclable in most municipal programs that accept plastics. The filter media itself should be disposed of according to local regulations for waste containing fine particulates. Atrix recommends checking with local waste management authorities for specific guidance.
