Dust Cobra 17 Gal. Full-Unit HEPA Cyclonic Dust Extractor

$1,399.00

Stationary, high pressure dust collector ideal for benchtop and handheld tools with dust ports 4" dia. and smaller - including tabletop CNC machines! Provides 3x higher airflow compared to traditional shop vacuums and is equipped with an internal pulse filter cleaner to reduce downtime. Includes a reinforced, steel dust bin with automatic bag holder system to simplify waste disposal.

Built for the Jobs Other Vacuums Can't Handle

Oneida Air Systems' Dust Cobra® is the system of choice for both hobbyist and professional craftsman looking for a powerful, compact, and versatile dust control system. Its patented cyclonic design provides 3x higher airflow performance when compared to traditional vacuums and works to minimize downtime by virtually eliminating filter clogging and suction loss.

By combining the best features of a dust collector and a vacuum, the portable Dust Cobra is a hybrid system that can be used in nearly any application for general shop clean-up. Its high pressure intake makes it ideal for dust extraction from tools with dust ports 4" dia. and smaller (where standard dust collectors fall short) including sanders, buffers, edgers, grinders, band saws, scroll saws, chop/miter saws, routers, mini-lathes, and more!

Streamlined Integrated Cyclone Pre-Separator

Within standard vacuum systems, fine dusts can quickly clog the filter - reducing suction power and creating the need for expensive downtime for cleaning and/or replacement parts. That's why every good dust collection system needs a cyclone to remove waste from the incoming airstream.

  • Separates up to 99% of bulk debris and fine dusts from the airstream, containing it safely in the dust bin
  • Patented "V-Shape" cyclone design maximizes particle separation performance
  • Virtually eliminates filter clogging and significantly extends the lifespan of the filter
  • Rotationally molded from a lightweight, static dissipative, industrial-grade resin
  • Neutral-vane inlet and integrated air ramp minimizes inbound air turbulence
Dust Cobra Full-Unit HEPA Certification
IES RP-CC002.3 and IES-RP-CC0034.3

Full-Unit Certified HEPA Dust Extractor

In the home renovation and professional contracting industry, there's no substitute for Full-Unit HEPA Certification. That's why each Dust Cobra purchase includes a printed certificate to document that the unit has been independently tested and certified to strict EPA guidelines, protecting you from expensive fines! With this certification you can work comfortably with the knowledge that your vacuum system is fully sealed to eliminate leakage, protecting the work environment and those within it.

  • HEPA-grade media filter with an E12 minimum efficiency rating
  • Meets and exceeds all EPA RRP Requirements for contractors - including lead!
  • Requires zero pre-loading; works at peak efficiency right out of the box
  • Wide-spaced pleating and non-stick coating facilitates quick and easy maintenance

Integrated Pulse Filter Cleaner

There are few tasks worse than dealing with a clogged vacuum filter; cleaning them can be messy, time consuming, and it's often the only way to restore suction. Now you can clean your filter without disassembling or turning off the vacuum!

With our patented Rapid Pulse Filter Cleaner™, you never have to worry about downtime or dust clouds while cleaning your filter! A few quick taps on the pulse bar temporarily reverses the vacuum's airflow, blowing dust off of the filter and safely into the drum below.

Many dust collectors use a mechanical paddle arrangement that strikes the filter pleats. This quickly creates wear points on the filter, resulting in reduced filtration and compromised efficiency. The Dust Cobra's unique pulse technology protects the filter's microfibers, keeping the filter at maximum efficiency for longer and reducing the need for replacements!

Pulse Cleaner Features:
  • Removes clogs from the filter in seconds.
  • Works while the vacuum is in operation.
  • Minimizes worker's exposure to harmful wood dust.
  • Manual operation puts you in control of your system.

How often should I clean the dust collector's cartridge filter?
This can vary widely depending on how often your dust collector is used and what kind of dusts it's exposed to but you should typically clean it only once you've noticed a considerable drop in suction performance. In our experience this can be around once per year, but with heavy amounts of sanding it could be as often as once per month. A meter such as our Filter Efficiency Gauge can also be used to monitor pressure buildup and inform you when the filter needs to be cleaned.
What is a static dissipative material?
This term refers to the range of conductivity that a material has. Static dissipative materials range from 106-1012 Ohms. More information about static resistance can be found here.
