FAQ

Will the 13" x 14" sound filter fit my dust collector?

This product is designed for use with Oneida Air dust collectors with an external 13" dia. cartridge filter that is attached via J-Bolts to the plenum elbow; this includes all V-Systems (1.5HP to 5HP) manufactured after 2012. If your system has a filter that is secured to the plenum via a threaded rod running through the center of the filter stack, you will need to purchase an additional 14" threaded rod length and a coupler (available at any local hardware store) to provide enough room to attach the Stacking Sound Filter.

Can Stacking Sound Filters be combined?

Yes; If you have room underneath the filter assembly (varies by model) then you can stack multiple sound filters, however, the resulting noise reduction per filter is not linear (additive) and is subject to diminishing returns. For example: 1 Sound Filter = 6-7 dBA total reduction 2 Sound Filters = ~9 dBA total reduction 3 Sound Filters = ~10 dBA total reduction 4+ Sound Filters = ~10 dBA total reduction

What is the difference between this unit and the older Plenum Exhaust Silencers?

Both the Stacking Sound Filter and the Exhaust Silencer offer similar performance in terms of noise reduction, but exhaust silencers must be installed into the plenum assembly and will increase the overall footprint of the system by 12" to 36" and will require additional components (hangers, square to rounds, etc.). Exhaust Silencers are intended for installation into long transitional ducting such as when the filter is located far from the collector - typical of industrial systems such as the Direct Drive. Comparatively, the Stacking Sound Filters can be installed quickly and easily, requiring no additional components.

I have an older dust collector that was purchased years ago. Would the Stacking Sound Filter work on my unit?

Yes, the Stacking Sound filter will work with your older system, but you may need a small amount of extra hardware to install it. Some of the filters on our older dust collectors (2008 and older) had a threaded rod running down inside the filters, with a plate at the bottom that the filters rested on. You will need to extend this rod by purchasing an additional length and a rod coupler from your local hardware store. When purchasing a unit for an older system, take care to measure the diameter of your dust collector's filter and the space available below the fine dust bin at the bottom of the filter. You'll want to purchase a sound filter that matches the diameter of your cartridge filter (13" or 18") and has sufficient room below the filter stack (1" taller than the sound filter itself) to allow for installation. The Stacking Sound Filters are not recommended for systems that have the cartridge filter installed in a horizontal orientation.

Should I remove the internal drop-in foam silencer from my filter before installing the Stacking Sound Filter?

No you do not need to remove the internal foam filter. These "drop-in" foam silencers that are included with the cartridge filters of our older dust collection systems can be used in conjunction with the Stacking Sound Filters.
