Dust Collectors 101: Choosing the Right System for Your Industry

Ryan Gellner

The Right System Starts with the Right Knowledge

Every facility generates airborne particles. From CNC machining to woodworking, the right collection system determines whether your air stays breathable — or becomes a liability.

Understanding Your Options

  • Dust Collectors — Capture particulate from sanding, grinding, welding, and cutting.
  • Oil Mist Collectors — Designed for CNC machines using oil and coolant at high RPMs.
  • Hybrid Systems — Handle mixed contaminants in multi-process facilities.

Filter Media Matters

Filter efficiency and maintenance cycles determine your long-term ROI.

  • Cartridge Filters — Compact, high-efficiency, easy to replace.
  • Baghouse Systems — Ideal for heavy particulate volumes.
  • HEPA Add-Ons — For medical, aerospace, and sensitive manufacturing.

Avoid the Common Traps

Many facilities overspend on oversized units or install systems mismatched to their process. DCM partners with Diversitech and Absolent — two global leaders — to engineer solutions that perform flawlessly and stay compliant.
