Collect debris while you sand by connecting these vacuum systems to your air-powered or electric sanders. Their built-in manifold has one input and two outputs for compressed air, so one of these systems can take debris from two sanders. Automatically switching on and off when your sander does, they minimize energy costs, wasted time, and noise. All are static-dissipative, so they reduce the risk of sparking, which is a concern when you’re creating flammable debris. They also come with a HEPA-rated filter cartridge that keeps them from circulating the debris they gather. These filters remove at least 99.95% of particles that are 0.3 microns or larger.

To connect them to your sander, add a vacuum hose with integrated air line. The air line connects to the sander’s ¼ NPT air inlet and the hose connects to the 1”-dia. vacuum connection. Otherwise, choose air and vacuum hose that matches your sander’s connections.

Vacuum systems with wheels are easy to roll between sanding stations and into storage.

Wall-mount vacuum systems keep your floor clear of obstructions.

Use vacuum hose kits to manually clean your workspace, unattached from the sander.

Simultaneously clean up and neutralize metal powders and other combustible dust, such as coal, plastic, and flour. These vacuums collect combustible dust in a bag, then submerge the bag in a water or mineral oil bath. This makes the dust inert. Because some metal powders emit gas when added to an immersion bath, the vacuums also have a degassing valve to vent any gas that builds up.

The vacuum and tools dissipate static, so they won’t suddenly discharge electricity that could ignite your powder or nearby gases. The nozzle and crevice tool are small enough to use in compact spaces, such as 3D printer housings.

These vacuums are CSA certified for use in all NEC Class II environments—those where combustible dusts are present under normal operating conditions. In addition, they’re also certified for use in Class I, Divisions 1 and 2, Group D environments, so they can be used in environments where flammable gases, vapors, and liquids with characteristics similar to propane can be found under normal operating conditions.

Mount these powerful units on a steel open-head drum (not included) for two-stage collection. In the first stage, larger particles fall into the drum; in the second stage, smaller particles go into the filter bag, resulting in less wear on the blower and filter bag.

Note: Not for use with combustible metal dust, including aluminum, magnesium, and titanium.

Hazardous location dust collectors have a CSA Certified explosion-proof motor that is rated IP44 for protection in damp environments. UL standards also apply to the motor.

450 cfm dust collectors require the adapter kit (sold separately).

Note: Filter area is the number of square feet of fabric area of an inflated filter bag.
