Introducing: The Last Dust Collector You'll Ever Need - Now With Twice The Airflow!

Choosing the best dust collector for your shop can be difficult, especially when you start combining mixed/undersized dust port and long runs of ducting or hoses. Oneida Air Systems' patented SMART Boost® technology offers the only solution that can adapt to nearly any shop layout!

Traditional dust collector fan motors operate at a fixed speed (RPM). When long ducting runs, smaller tool ports, and even closed gates limit the volume of air (CFM) the fan can move at its fixed speed, the motor ends up doing less work – and draws fewer amps. Our unique SMART Boost technology ensures the motor is always working at full capacity (with a constant amp draw) by increasing fan speed as needed to deliver maximum CFM and maximum suction at all times – up to double the CFM and suction of traditional, fixed RPM dust collectors. It can even adjust for differences in air density to optimize static pressure and CFM in high-altitude locations. Truly revolutionary!

Combining the award-winning features of our Super Dust Gorilla with the rugged construction of our Pro series, this new system will help you maximize your investment and ensure that your shop is running at peak-efficiency for years to come.

I have an 8" jointer, a 20" planer, and a 5HP tablesaw all wired into the shop and having designated dust collection really improves the use of those machines. Removing material at the source is huge for keeping the longevity of your cutter heads as well as making sure your blades are used as efficiently as possible … SUPER excited to have this in my shop - it's already drastically improved my workflow.

High Quality & Serviceable Filtration

The Dust Gorilla Pro system uses HEPA-grade media cartridge filters that are specifically designed for dust collection applications - providing unbeatable airflow and filtration performance. Read more about The Advantages of Oneida Air Systems' HEPA-Grade Media Filters »

  • We fully stand by the quality and performance of our filters; each filter is sent to an accredited independent testing lab. Contact us for more information and documentation.
  • Stacking Sound Filter and internal silencer reduce overall noise output of the system by up to 6 dBA.
  • Patented Flame Guard™ safety mesh rapidly dissipate any heat generated by a deflagration within your filter, helping to comply with future planned NFPA fire safety codes.
  • Wide-spaced filter pleating coated with non-stick PTFE membrane to facilitate east cleaning.
  • Fine dust pan captures residual dust that falls off the inside of the filter. Can be removed easily for cleaning after reverse blowing compressed air into the pleats.

Compact, Configurable Design

This unit is equipped with a Freestanding Leg Kit and has been built specifically to fit underneath standard 8 foot ceilings; perfect for garage or basement shops!

Please Note: The Leg Extension Kit is required if you wish to use a drum dolly with this system. See product documentation for more details and dimensions.

Convenient Pull-Out Dust Bin

Our dust collection bins are made simple for a reason: convenience. With no assembly required, these robust, steel drums are quick and easy to use when disposing of dust and debris. The dust collector comes equipped with a 35 gallon steel drum - best for holding a large amount of dust and debris without being overwhelming when full. Drum dollies and bag holding sleeves are also available to make emptying the drum cleaner and more efficient.

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.
Can I purchase the impeller by itself?
We do not sell standalone impellers on our website. If you are an owner of one of our dust collection systems and need a replacement part, please contact our Customer Service team at (866) 387-8822 or by emailing [email protected].
What do I need to know about NFPA regulations?
Fire protection regulations are a complex and ever-changing set of rules that differ from facility to facility. However, all of Oneida Air Systems' dust collector are NFPA Compliance Ready and we provide best practices and guidance for assisting customers - read our NFPA Reference Guide for more information.
I hear a loud bang/pop from the dust bin when I turn the system on, is this normal?
If the drum of your system is empty, you may hear a loud noise as the metal flexes from the suction pressure created when turning the system on. This sound will stop when material is within the drum and is to be expected.
What dust can be collected with your collector?
Oneida Air Systems' dust collectors are designed and tested for wood and wood dust. They can and have been used effectively for various other debris, including drywall dust, paper dust, agricultural dust, and metal chips. Please note that some common materials when cut, ground or processed by machinery may become highly toxic, flammable, or deflagrable and explosive. Customers must ensure that their particular use of a dust collection system is in accordance with national, state, local, NFPA, OSHA and all other applicable codes.
How do I troubleshoot an air leak with my cyclone?
Even a small leak can significantly affect the overall separation performance of the cyclone. If you can't audibly pinpoint where the leak might be coming from, one of the simplest ways to check for air leaks is with a smoke test. Click "Read More" for further instructions and tips.
What are the dimensions for this product?
General system dimensions are shown in the Specifications tab on each product page. More detailed information can be found in the product's Owner's Manual, located under the Documents tab.
Is it normal for my dust collector to run hot?
Yes. All motors generate heat, which is why it is essential to have proper ventilation around the motor for cooling.
Why does the bin level indicator flash when the bin is empty?
Because the Dust Sentry works via an adjustable infrared sensor, it can sometimes show false positives with an empty container because of the reflective surface at the bottom of the steel drum. This issue will go away soon after the system is used; once the bottom of the drum has sawdust on it, the Dust Sentry should no longer give a false positive. It can also be resolved by painting/coloring the inside bottom of the drum so that it is no longer reflective enough to affect the sensor.
How do I adjust the bin level sensor?
Adjust the detection of the dust level of the infrared sensor by rotating the Level Set Screw. Turning it towards the plus sign (+) will lengthen the range of the sensor; turning it towards the minus sign (-) will shorten the sensor’s range. DO NOT force the level set screw.
What's the recommended range I should set the bin level sensor at?
We recommend that the sensor be set to alert at a distance of 4-6". To test the range, place your hand in front of the sensor, while the Dust Sentry is plugged in, to represent the dust drum filling up.
Should the inlet reducer for my dust collector be crimped or straight?
The inlets on all of our dust collectors are sized to fit standard ductwork. If you need a reducer to connect to ductwork that’s smaller than your collector’s inlet, the end of the reducer that connects to the inlet will need to be crimped, so that it will fit inside the inlet.
Why does my SMART system run after I shut it off?
The SMART system has a cooling fan on the VFD that runs after the system is shut off. Depending on how long the system has been on or if the outside temperature is hotter than normal, it may run for a longer time to cool the motor down. This is a normal function of the system, and it will stop automatically.
Can Dust Sentry Panel be mounted outside in weather?
No, there is electrical components inside and if it got wet there is a potential it would short circuit.
Can I lengthen the Bin Level Sensor power cord?
The 8' power cord can be extended to any length using wire of the same gauge or higher.
