Abstract

A pre-filter (200) for a heavy-duty dust extractor (100), the pre-filter (200) comprising a filter aperture (210) and a filter side wall (220), where the side wall is arranged to permit a flow of air to pass the side wall and to prevent at least some particulate matter from passing the side wall, wherein the filter side wall (220) extends away from the filter aperture (210) and tapers inwards towards a center axis (260) of the filter (200) to define a filter interior volume (V), where the pre-filter (200) is arranged to hold a separating wall in position in the filter interior volume (V) to divide the filter interior volume (V) in at least two parts.
