Rupes S145EL Vacuum Cleaner

The Rupes S145EL is a vacuum built for use alongside sanding and polishing work in the detail studio or workshop. With an airflow of 200 m³/h and power up to 2400 W (1200 W continuous), it captures fine dust directly as you work, instead of letting it spread across your surface. The class L filter is rated for fine particles such as filler and paint residue, and the 45 liter collection tank (5 kg bag capacity) gives you enough buffer for a full workday without emptying it midway. At 67 dB(A) the machine is notably quiet for an industrial vacuum of this power, which makes a real difference in an enclosed space. The variable suction control lets you match the power precisely to the task, from light dusting to intensive extraction during dry sanding. A liquid level indicator and service indicator keep you informed on fill level and maintenance, so nothing catches you off guard. At 13.5 kg the unit is portable enough to move between work areas.

What's inside

Rupes S145EL vacuum unit with built-in class L dust filter, 45 liter collection tank and automatic start function.

Why this product

• Remarkably quiet operation at just 67 dB(A), noticeably calmer than a typical industrial vacuum of comparable power.

• Class L filter with 1 m² filter surface captures fine dust particles such as filler and paint residue during sanding and polishing.

• 45 liter collection tank with 5 kg bag capacity gives you enough buffer for a full workday without emptying midway.

• Variable suction control lets you match the power precisely to the task, from light dusting to intensive dry sanding.

• Automatic start switches the vacuum on the moment your connected sander or polisher starts running.

• Liquid level and service indicators keep you continuously informed on fill level and upcoming carbon brush maintenance.

How to use

1. Connect the extraction hose to the outlet of your sander or polisher and click the other end onto the S145EL's inlet port. (Make sure the hose coupling locks in firmly so dust can't escape past the connection while you work.)

2. Set the suction strength using the variable control on the panel, matched to the type of work you're doing. (Dry sanding usually calls for a higher setting, while light finishing work needs only a lower one.)

3. Start your connected sander or polisher; the S145EL switches on automatically thanks to the auto-start function. (That means you never have to turn the vacuum on or off separately when switching between tasks.)

4. Keep an eye on the service indicator and replace the class L filter or carbon brushes in time. (Empty the 45 liter collection tank regularly too, so suction stays at full strength.)

Pair the S145EL with a Rupes polisher for dust-free polishing or a D-CON detailing trolley to keep your workspace organized.
