Filter Rittal SK 3285.960 — aluminium housing, for SK series enclosures

Rittal SK 3285.960 is a replacement metal filter element in an aluminium housing designed for use with compatible SK series enclosures. Supplied as a single unit in finished aluminium colour, this washable metal filter is intended to protect electrical and electronic cabinets by capturing particulate contamination while allowing airflow through SK-series ventilation points.

Advantages

The aluminium housing offers mechanical durability and corrosion resistance appropriate for many industrial environments. As a washable metal filter, it can be cleaned with water or grease-dissolving detergents, making maintenance straightforward and extending service life compared with disposable filters. The single-piece construction and finished aluminium surface provide a consistent fit and appearance in SK series enclosures.

Suitable for

• Replacement filtration for SK series enclosures where a metal filter element is specified
• Electrical and electronic cabinets in industrial or workshop settings
• Environments with dusty or oily ambient air where washable filters are preferred

When it may not be suitable

This aluminium metal filter is not intended to provide fine particulate or HEPA-level filtration; it is designed primarily for coarse particle capture and mechanical protection of enclosure ventilation. It may not be suitable where electrostatic or high-efficiency particulate removal is required, or where specific air cleanliness classes must be met.

Key specifications

• Housing material: aluminium
• Filter type: washable metal filter
• Quantity supplied: 1 piece
• Finish: aluminium colour

How to use

Install the filter in the ventilation opening or mounting location specified for SK series enclosures, ensuring correct orientation and secure seating in the filter frame or holder. Periodically remove the filter for inspection; when dirty, wash with water or a suitable grease-dissolving detergent, rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely before reinstalling. Follow enclosure manufacturer guidance for maintenance intervals and safe handling.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm physical compatibility with your specific SK series enclosure model and ventilation opening
• Assess whether a metal washable filter meets the required filtration performance for your application
• Consider maintenance access and cleaning intervals based on ambient conditions (dusty or oily environments)

Usage recommendations

Use washable metal filters like the Rittal SK 3285.960 in dusty or oily atmospheres; periodic cleaning with water or detergent removes adhered particles and maintains airflow while preserving the filter’s mechanical integrity.
