SEBO White Felt Sealing Str...

Product details
One white felt strip, sold singly as 5108, does the unglamorous job of taking up the gap where two moulded surfaces come together inside the machine. Felt gives a soft, compressible face so the joint closes without hard plastic meeting hard plastic.
Age, heat and repeated compression flatten felt until it no longer fills that gap. What you notice is a joint that whistles under load, a rattle that was not there before, or fine dust finding its way past a seam and settling where it has no business being. None of that is dramatic on the day it starts, but a machine that is losing air at an internal joint is doing less work at the floor for the same power draw. Renewing the strip takes a few minutes while the machine is already open, and it is the kind of job worth doing on sight rather than scheduling a second strip-down for.
Felt is also easy to damage on the way out. Lift the old strip cleanly, clear the compacted dust from its seat before the new one goes down, and let the felt find its own compression as the panels close rather than forcing it into place.

Because SEBO uses felt in more than one place, order this SEBO felt strip by number rather than by appearance; a strip cut for a different joint will either stand proud or leave a gap at the ends. It is a natural addition to a service that is already changing the airway consumables, which for these machines means filter bag box 5093AM with eight bags and caps, pre-motor microfilter 5036AM, the anti-odor version 5425AM or the HEPA 5812ER. Under the machine, the same visit reaches the toothed belt 5110, the support lever spring 5107-1, and the bag holder locking rod 5083 with spring 5084. Genuine SEBO spare from an authorized dealer, shipping in 2-5 business days.
