Quatro 1-0024-3011 Basic Dust Collector - 147.611
The Quatro Basic Dust Collector (Model 1-0024-3011) is a compact, cost-effective clean air solution designed for jewelers who need quieter dust collection without sacrificing filtration performance. Built with a turbine engine that operates at 85–90 decibels, it runs significantly quieter than shop vacuums and budget alternatives, making it a practical choice for busy workshop environments.
The two-stage filtration system starts with an AG349-03 (F349) White Cube replacement filter bag as the first line of defense, offering larger capacity and better containment. A Quatro F220 HEPA filter (Otto Frei part number 147.611F220) provides the final stage of particulate filtration, capturing 99.97% of precious metal particles — helping you recover valuable scrap for the refiner.
At just 7" wide × 15" long × 11" high, the unit fits easily on the floor beside your workbench or on a nearby shelf. The included Quatro AA114 on/off foot control lets you switch the collector on and off hands-free — a meaningful advantage when your hands are occupied at the bench. The foot pedal also allows you to place the unit inside a sound-dampening enclosure and operate it from outside for additional noise reduction.
Please note: When unpacking the unit, open the lid of the dust collector to find the power cordset and foot pedal, which are packed inside the machine.

Maintenance Tips
-
Empty dust bag/bin regularly: Prevent overfilling to maintain suction efficiency.
-
Clean or replace filters: Keep pre-filter and main filter clear to ensure proper airflow.
-
Check suction power: Loss of performance usually indicates clogged filters or full collection unit.
-
Inspect hose & fittings: Ensure tight connections to avoid air leaks and dust escape.
-
Clean intake vents: Keep motor air pathways free from dust buildup to prevent overheating.
-
Wipe exterior safely: Use a dry cloth; avoid moisture near electrical components.
-
Avoid overload use: Operate within rated capacity for longer motor life.
-
Routine inspection: Periodically check for dust accumulation inside housing and airflow path.
