The present document discloses a method of operating a separator (1) for separating particles from a particle-laden airflow, wherein the separator comprises a flow path (F), a separation unit (11, 12, 13), arranged in the flow path (F), an impeller (14), arranged in the flow path (F), and an electric motor (15), configured to drive the impeller (14) so as to generate the airflow in the flow path (F). The method comprises initiating a power supply to the electric motor (15), measuring a pressure in the flow path using a pressure sensor (16a, 16b, 16c, 16d), determining a direction of the airflow based on the pressure, and if the direction of the airflow does not correspond to a desired direction of the airflow, then changing a phase sequence of the power supply to the electric motor (15). The document further discloses a separator (1) and a system comprising a separator (1) and a floor grinding machine (2).

A filter arrangement for filtering dust-laden air generated by a hand-guided power tool having a motor features a filter cartridge having a hollow casing with a longitudinal extension along a longitudinal axis, a hollow filter element located inside the hollow casing, having a longitudinal extension along the longitudinal axis, an air inlet port in the hollow casing, pneumatically connected to the power tool to allow the dust-laden air generated by the power tool to flow into the hollow casing, and an air outlet port in the hollow casing, to allow filtered air to leave the filter cartridge. An external chamber of the filter cartridge is formed between the hollow casing and the hollow filter element. An internal chamber is formed inside the hollow filter element. The internal chamber is closed by a conical head portion at a first end of the internal chamber facing towards the air inlet port. The external chamber is in pneumatic connection with the air inlet port and the internal chamber at a second end opposite to the first end is in pneumatic connection with the air outlet port. The filter arrangement includes an active airflow generating device being in pneumatic connection with the air outlet port and the internal chamber of the filter cartridge in order to generate or support the airflow through the filter cartridge.
