Filter Rittal SK 3285.930 — aluminium housing, replacement metal filter (1 pc)

Rittal SK 3285.930 is a replacement metal filter in an aluminium housing designed for ventilation and air filtration in electrical enclosures and cabinets. Supplied as a single unit, the aluminium-coloured filter maintains airflow while preventing dust and larger particulates from entering housing interiors. The washable metal construction allows repeated cleaning to extend service life in routine maintenance cycles.

Advantages

The aluminium housing provides a lightweight, corrosion-resistant frame that supports stable mounting and consistent air passage. As a metal filter, it resists deformation and can be cleaned with water or with detergents that dissolve grease, making it suitable for applications with dusty or oily ambient air. Being a dedicated replacement part, it fits ventilation apertures designed for its dimensions and helps maintain reliable thermal management of enclosure components.

Suitable for

• Ventilation and air intake panels of electrical enclosures and cabinets
• Maintenance replacement in industrial control cabinets and switchgear
• Applications where washable metal filters are preferred due to oily or dusty conditions

When it may not be suitable

This metal filter is intended to capture dust and larger particulates; it is not designed to provide HEPA-level filtration or to remove gaseous contaminants. In environments requiring fine particle filtration, odor control, or chemical adsorption, a different filter type or additional filtration stages will be necessary.

Key specifications

• Material: Aluminium housing with metal filter element
• Quantity: 1 piece
• Colour/finish: Aluminium-coloured finish
• Form factor: Flat panel metal filter suitable for enclosure ventilation
• Cleaning: Washable with water or grease-dissolving detergents

How to use

Install the Rittal metal filter into the enclosure’s designated filter frame or ventilation opening matching its dimensions. Ensure the filter is seated securely and that any retaining clips or screws are fastened according to the enclosure manufacturer’s instructions. For cleaning, remove the filter and rinse with water; where oily residues are present, use a suitable grease-dissolving detergent, rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely before reinstalling. Regular inspection and cleaning intervals depend on ambient contamination levels and equipment manufacturer recommendations.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the filter’s physical dimensions and form factor match the enclosure’s filter frame or mounting arrangement.
• Assess whether washable metal filtration meets the required air cleanliness level for your application.
• Consider access for removal and cleaning during maintenance and any required replacement intervals.

Usage recommendations

For environments with dusty or oily air, choose washable metal filters like this unit and establish a scheduled cleaning routine. Avoid installing this filter as the sole means of fine particle filtration where HEPA or activated carbon stages are required.
