Frequently Asked Questions
Does this fit any ProfiPack other than the P425?
No. HSM lists part 3370000077 for the ProfiPack P425 only. The extraction port position and adapter sizing are specific to that machine, so it is not a fit for other ProfiPack models or for HSM document shredders. Check the model plate on your machine before ordering rather than going by the general ProfiPack name.
What is actually in the kit?
HSM supplies it as a complete kit: the dust extraction vacuum unit itself, a universal male 1 to 2 inch connector, and a 2.5 inch female inlet. That combination is what allows the vacuum to be coupled to the P425's extraction outlet without fabricating adapters on site.
Do I need this, or will the P425 run without it?
The P425 will run without extraction, but it produces continuous paper dust while converting cardboard. In an enclosed packing area, or anywhere the machine sits near stock, open cartons or staff workstations, that dust becomes a housekeeping and air-quality problem quickly. Sites that run the machine occasionally often manage without; sites running it for hours a day generally do not.
Can I connect my own shop vacuum instead?
Possibly, but not reliably. The kit is sized around the P425's outlet and around an extractor suited to fine paper dust, which is not the same duty as a general workshop vacuum. A domestic or standard shop vacuum will usually clog its filter fast on this material. If you already own an extractor rated for fine dust, the adapter sizes above tell you what connection you need to match.
Is the part number the same as the HSM DE 1-8 dust extractor?
No. The DE 1-8 is HSM's separately listed dust extractor, article 2412113. Part 3370000077 is sold as the complete vacuum conversion kit for the P425 including adapters. If you are quoting or reordering, use 3370000077 for the kit and confirm with your dealer which extractor unit is supplied in your region.
