Yellow Dental Weak Valve Suction Filter

Suction filter for dental units (mesh filter)

The suction filter (mesh filter) acts as the primary barrier, preventing large particles (such as tooth fragments, amalgam, temporary filling residues and blood clots) from entering the vacuum line and the separator.

Consequences of failing to replace the vacuum cleaner’s filter screen in good time or not having one at all:
Reduced suction power: A clogged screen forces the vacuum unit to operate at full capacity.

Costly repairs: Debris entering the pump leads to the separator failing or the pump impeller seizing up.

Unpleasant odour: The accumulation of organic matter in the filter becomes a source of bacterial contamination in the treatment room.

Saliva ejector filter technical specifications:

For saliva ejector and vacuum systems
Material: Chemically resistant polymer (resistant to disinfectants)
Compatibility: Universal (for Chirana, Diplomat, KaVo, A-dec and Chinese brands)
Colour: Yellow
Type: Reusable (requires regular cleaning)
Advantages of our filters for installation
Precise geometry: The yellow filter fits snugly into the housing, preventing debris from passing ‘past’ the mesh.

Resistance to aggressive chemicals: The material is not damaged by cleaning agents for suction systems (such as Orotol, Puli-Jet, etc.).

Optimal flow capacity: Micro-perforations trap all debris without hindering a stable vacuum.

Cost-effectiveness: Replacing the filter costs a fraction of the price of servicing a vacuum pump.
Tips for using filters for saliva extractors
Cleaning schedule: Clean the filter mesh at the end of each working shift.

When to replace: Even if the mesh is intact, the plastic becomes brittle over time due to the effects of disinfectants. We recommend replacing the filter completely every 1–3 months, depending on the workload in the treatment room.

Important: Never operate without a filter fitted — this is the quickest way to ‘kill’ the suction unit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
— Will this filter fit a ‘Chinese’ unit? Yes, most models have a standard diameter. Before ordering, we recommend measuring the diameter of your old filter or sending a photo to our manager via Viber.

— How often does the extraction system need to be cleaned with this filter? To prevent biofilm build-up, cleaning with specialised products should be carried out at least twice a day (during the break and in the evening).
