Roll of Pre-Cut ÜLKA Pre-Filter Sheets for Nail Dust Collectors
Effectively protect your nail dust collector’s filtration system while simplifying the daily maintenance of your workspace with the roll of pre-cut ÜLKA pre-filter sheets. Designed to collect some of the dust generated during manicure and pedicure services, these protective sheets are placed above the dust collector’s main filter. They create a practical intermediate barrier between filing residue and the permanent filter inside your device.
The ÜLKA pre-filter sheets are available in two sizes to fit the brand’s main dust collector models. The small 20 x 20 cm size is mainly suitable for the ÜLKA Nano and ÜLKA Tornado dust collectors. The large 30 x 25 cm size is mainly intended for the ÜLKA Premium and ÜLKA Aero dust collectors. Thanks to their pre-cut design, the sheets are easy to separate and can be installed quickly before a service.
This consumable accessory is especially useful for nail technicians, nail artists, beauticians and manicure enthusiasts who want to take care of their dust collector at home. It is suitable for both intensive product removal and small touch-ups performed with a hand file or electric nail drill.
Additional protection for the main filter
Working with professional nail enhancement products generates a large amount of fine dust. Filing gel, acrylic, acrygel, polygel or semi-permanent nail polish can quickly cover the dust collector’s grille and filter. Even when the device provides powerful suction, the collected residue naturally builds up inside the filtration system over time.
The pre-cut ÜLKA pre-filter is positioned directly above the main filter to collect some of these particles. Once the service is complete, it can be removed carefully together with the dust deposited on its surface. This helps limit direct clogging of the main filter and makes maintenance easier and more pleasant.
However, the pre-filter does not replace the dust collector’s original filter. It is used as additional protection and must always be combined with the filtration system designed for the relevant model. The main filter must still be inspected, cleaned or replaced according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Why Use a Pre-Filter with Your ÜLKA Dust Collector?
Reduce dust build-up on the main filter
The main purpose of the pre-filter for ÜLKA dust collectors is to collect residue before it settles directly on the main filter. Dust produced during filing remains largely on the protective sheet, which can then be removed and replaced. This extra step helps make device maintenance more convenient between full cleaning sessions.
Save time between appointments
Every minute matters in a nail salon. As the sheets are already pre-cut, there is no need to measure or manually cut the material before each use. Simply separate a new sheet, position it correctly and replace the dust collector grille. This format allows you to prepare the workspace quickly for the next client.
Maintain a tidier workspace
The visible cleanliness of the nail table contributes directly to the quality of the client experience. By making collected residue easier to remove, the pre-filter supports a clear and well-organised maintenance routine. It fits naturally into the professional cleaning steps performed after product removal, infills or nail shaping.
Preserve comfortable device operation
A correctly installed sheet protects the filter without making the dust collector more difficult to use. Its flexible material adapts easily to the surface that needs to be covered and remains simple to handle. To maintain suitable airflow, it is important to replace the pre-filter when it becomes loaded with dust and never to layer several sheets.
Select the right size for your ÜLKA model
The two available sizes make it easier to choose the consumable that matches your equipment. The 20 x 20 cm size is mainly designed for compact models such as the ÜLKA Nano and ÜLKA Tornado. The larger 30 x 25 cm size is mainly suitable for the ÜLKA Premium and ÜLKA Aero models.
Before first use, it is still advisable to check the filter dimensions and the exact reference of your dust collector. This precaution helps you select a sheet that properly covers the usable surface without obstructing the grille closure or fastening components.
Which Services Generate the Most Dust?
The roll of pre-cut ÜLKA pre-filters can be used for all services during which the dust collector is operating. It is particularly useful during stages that generate a large amount of fine residue.
- Removal of UV or LED gel with an electric nail drill.
- Removal of an acrylic nail enhancement.
- Removal or correction of an acrygel or polygel set.
- Removal of semi-permanent nail polish.
- Preparation for an infill.
- Removal of lifted areas before a new enhancement.
- Shaping extensions and correcting the nail structure.
- Filing tips and reinforced natural nails.
- Finishing work underneath the nail or around the structure.
- Pedicure services requiring the use of a compatible dust collector.
During a full removal service, the sheet may become loaded more quickly than during a simple touch-up. Its condition should therefore be checked regularly to maintain comfortable suction and prevent excessive dust from accumulating on its surface.
How to Choose Between the 20 x 20 cm and 30 x 25 cm Sizes
ÜLKA 20 x 20 cm Pre-Filter
The small 20 x 20 cm size is mainly suitable for the ÜLKA Nano and ÜLKA Tornado dust collectors. Its compact dimensions allow it to cover the filtration area of these devices without creating unnecessary excess material. It is a practical choice for professionals working with one of these models, as well as home users equipped with a compatible ÜLKA dust collector.
ÜLKA 30 x 25 cm Pre-Filter
The large 30 x 25 cm size is mainly suitable for the ÜLKA Premium and ÜLKA Aero dust collectors. Its larger surface corresponds to the wider filtration systems of these models. It covers the usable area evenly, provided that it is installed flat and without folds.
The size should not be selected solely according to the external dimensions of the dust collector. To avoid mistakes, always check the model name, the device reference and the dimensions of its main filter.
How to Use the ÜLKA Pre-Filter Sheets
- Switch off the dust collector. Turn off the device before opening the grille or the area providing access to the filter.
- Access the main filter. Carefully remove the grille, cover or protective component according to the design of your ÜLKA model.
- Inspect the filter. Check that it is correctly positioned, dry and in good condition. A pre-filter sheet must never be used to conceal a saturated or damaged filter.
- Select the correct size. Use the 20 x 20 cm size for mainly compatible models such as the Nano and Tornado, or the 30 x 25 cm size for the Premium and Aero.
- Separate one pre-cut sheet. Carefully detach one sheet from the roll along the designated line without pulling the material too forcefully.
- Position the sheet. Lay the pre-filter flat above the main filter. Make sure there are no folds or overlapping areas.
- Close the device. Replace the grille or cover, ensuring that the sheet does not obstruct the fastenings.
- Check operation. Briefly switch on the dust collector to confirm that air is circulating normally and that the sheet remains correctly positioned.
- Perform the service. Position the client’s hand or foot within the suction area during filing and e-filing stages.
- Remove the used sheet. After the service, switch off the device and carefully remove the dust-covered pre-filter.
- Install a clean sheet. Replace the pre-filter as soon as it becomes saturated, damaged, damp or misshapen.
How Often Should a Pre-Cut Sheet Be Replaced?
The replacement frequency depends on the amount of dust generated during the service. A full removal of gel, acrylic or acrygel may load the sheet much faster than light preparation work or a simple shape correction.
In a professional environment, it is advisable to inspect the pre-filter after every client. Replacing it between appointments allows you to begin with a clean surface and maintain a consistent maintenance routine. The sheet should also be changed immediately when it is heavily covered with dust or when suction appears less effective.
A saturated sheet should not be kept in place simply to extend its use. Excessive build-up can restrict airflow and reduce working comfort. Thanks to the pre-cut format, replacement is quick and requires no additional preparation.
Maintenance Advice and Professional Tips
- Store the roll in a dry place that is clean and protected from liquid splashes.
- Keep unused sheets away from dust so that they remain clean until installation.
- Handle each sheet with clean hands to avoid transferring cream, oil or sticky residue onto it.
- Install only one sheet at a time to avoid creating excess thickness that could interfere with suction.
- Do not fold the pre-filter in an attempt to adapt it to another size.
- Remove the sheet gently after the service to avoid dispersing dust around the room.
- Fold the sheet in on itself before disposal to trap the collected residue.
- Never shake a used sheet above the nail table or near the client.
- Inspect the main filter regularly, even when a pre-filter is used systematically.
- Follow ÜLKA maintenance recommendations for cleaning and replacing your device’s filtration components.

Precautions
The pre-filter must only be used as additional protection. It does not replace the dust collector’s main filter and does not remove the need for regular maintenance. Before each use, make sure the sheet is clean, dry and correctly positioned.
Do not layer several sheets and do not place folded material inside the filtration area. The pre-filter must not block the fastenings, prevent the grille from closing or come into contact with electrical or moving components. If the dust collector suddenly loses power, makes an unusual noise or becomes abnormally hot, switch it off and inspect the entire filtration system.
After a particularly dusty service, inspect both the sheet and the main filter. Replacing the pre-filter is not enough if the device’s main filter is also saturated. Regular maintenance remains essential for keeping your equipment clean and pleasant to use.
