Filter Rittal SK 3286.570, aluminium housing, single unit

Rittal SK 3286.570 is an aluminium-housed metal filter designed for installation in compatible Rittal SK enclosure ventilation systems. Supplied as a single unit, this washable metal filter provides a durable solution for ventilation and particulate management in industrial enclosures where a robust, metal filter element is required. The aluminium construction offers corrosion-resistant properties suitable for many industrial indoor applications.

Advantages

The aluminium housing and metal filter element deliver mechanical strength and durability compared with disposable filter media. Being washable, the filter can be cleaned and reused, which reduces replacement frequency and supports lower maintenance costs in appropriate environments. The single-unit supply simplifies ordering and replacement in systems designed for this Rittal filter type.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Ventilation of industrial electrical enclosures and control cabinets
• Filtration where durable metal filters are required due to high particulate loads
• Environments where filters are regularly washed to remove dust, oil or other contaminants
• Applications using compatible Rittal SK mounting systems

When it may not be suitable

This aluminium metal filter is not intended as a fine particulate or HEPA-grade solution; it is designed for coarse to moderate particulate management and ventilation. For applications requiring specific filtration efficiencies, antimicrobial properties, or certified HEPA/ULPA performance, choose a filter specified for those requirements.

Key specifications

• Housing material: aluminium
• Filter element: metal (aluminium)
• Supply quantity: 1 piece
• Weight: 5.36 kg
• Designed for mounting in compatible Rittal SK enclosure systems

How to use

Install the filter into the compatible Rittal SK mounting opening according to the enclosure manufacturer’s instructions. For maintenance, remove the filter from the housing and rinse with water or use a grease-dissolving detergent if oily deposits are present. Allow the filter to dry completely before reinstalling. Follow any workplace safety procedures for working on powered enclosures and ensure ventilation is not obstructed during operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with your specific Rittal SK enclosure model and mounting dimensions
• Determine whether a metal washable filter meets your filtration efficiency requirements
• Check environmental conditions (dust type, presence of oil, condensation) to ensure maintenance by washing is acceptable

Usage recommendations

For environments with dusty or oily ambient air, use washable metal filters and perform regular cleaning. If condensation occurs on metal surfaces, particles will adhere and can be removed effectively with water or grease-dissolving detergents. Adhere to scheduled inspections to maintain airflow and protective function.
