Super Dust Deputy 4" Deluxe Cyclone Kit

If your shop has fixed piping that matches the diameter of your dust collector's intake, choose a cyclone that matches that diameter as well. The collector's horsepower and CFM do not affect the performance of the different models. For more details, click "Read More".

We do not measure that small of micron with cyclonic separation. It will filter 99% of all visible dust/chips from the airstream.

By California law, Oneida Air Systems is required to provide advance notice to customers of potentially hazardous materials included in our products. This requirement is enforced regardless of how much of that material is present in the actual product. The black, static dissipative resin used to create this cyclone separator contains carbon black, which is a chemical considered as "possibly carcinogenic to humans" (Group 2B) when the chemical is an airborne, particulate form. This form would not be typical of normal use of the cyclone, but the law requires this statement be provided regardless.

Yes - a standalone 4" cyclone can be purchased here.

The Super Dust Deputy 4" Deluxe is a special kit for smaller, personal workshops. The cyclone and the drum lid are a single molded component that provides an efficient, airtight seal with the drum. As such, the cyclone/lid piece is only compatible with the 14 gallon drum provided in the kit. If you have a need with a larger capacity drum, we would recommend using the 5" Super Dust Deputy cyclone and reducing down the inlet as you require.

You can unclamp the drum lid by locating the small tab on the ring and pushing it down. The ring lock lever will then release, allowing you to open the drum. Click "Read More" for images.

In our experience, we've never had a customer "wear out" their super dust deputy cyclone from normal use. The only exceptions are when sucks up materials not rated for the cyclone's construction i.e. don't suck up hot, smoldering materials or high abrasives (rough glass, soda blasts, etc.) with the molded cyclone as those can damage or wear out the material. With its intended application (e.g. wood dust and debris) you could expect this cyclone to last for years to come, if not longer.

Standard single-stage or bag-style dust collectors lose suction very quickly as the filter becomes clogged with fine dust. The cyclone uses centrifugal force to separate dust and debris from the incoming airstream, containing it safely away from the collector. This frees up the dust collector to move as much air as physically possible without hindrance. That means less downtime for filter cleaning, continuously high suction, and significantly prolonged filter life.

In addition to the cyclone and your dust collector, you will need a reinforced, airtight container to mount it to, as well as flex hose or piping to connect it to your tools and dust collector. The Deluxe kit includes the essential components, but you will still need flex hose and/or piping. Any connections should be sealed using silicone caulk or HVAC foil tape.Shop for Assembly Tools

The Super Dust Deputy Deluxe cyclone can be used to retrofit nearly make or model dust collector with a 4" diameter intake. This inlet size is typical of 1/2HP to 3HP single stage dust collectors by manufacturers such as Delta, Harbor Freight, Grizzly, Jet, Laguna, Powermatic, Rikon, Rockler, Shop Fox, etc.For larger sized systems, check out our XL cyclone instead.

No. Super Dust Deputy cyclones are designed for use in systems with high airflow volume (above 350 CFM) and low static pressure (below 10" WC). Shop vacuums are the exact opposite of this i.e. they are low airflow (below 250 CFM) but with high air pressure (above 60" WC). For standard vacuums we recommend our regular Dust Deputy kits.

If you have conditioned air in your shop (heated or cooled), then exhausting outside can be costly. If your building is small and well-sealed, you can interfere with flue exhausts as well. Close neighbors might object. If the Dust Collection system is run intermittently it is generally not a problem. Most buildings have enough leaks and crevices where the aforementioned volume of air does not cause problems. If you have a problem opening or closing an outside door when the DC is running, crack a window slightly. The rule of thumb is for every 500 CFM have at least 1 sq/ft of return air coming back into the shop. A lot of our customers blow exhaust air outside successfully.

Connection options differ between Super Dust Deputy models. Click "Read More" for further details.

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.

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.

No. For 6" ducting runs we highly recommend our Super Dust Deputy XL cyclone instead.

Yes. All of our cyclone separators are designed to be used in conjunction with an air filter as they are only meant to remove the majority of dust and debris - not all of it. Eliminating the filter entirely would allow small, harmful dust back into your shop's air.The exception to this rule is if you have the means to vent your waste air outside of the shop. If you pursue that method be sure to consider the loss of conditioned/heated air, local safety codes, and whether your neighbors will be affected by dust laden air.

We recommend that customers use our MERV 16± HEPA Filter Upgrade Kit as it provides the healthiest return air for your shop, as well as being easily serviceable thanks to its wide spaced pleating and non-stick membrane coating.

Our system virtually makes the need for your hanging air cleaner obsolete. By using your single stage collector hooked up to the 4" Super Dust Deputy you will get the best dust collection, right at the source!

No. This cyclone is designed for use with light debris such as wood dust. For heavy-duty applications with highly abrasive or smoldering materials, we recommend our steel, Heavy-Duty Dust Deputy kits instead.

While some customers have found use for our cyclones in food related applications (e.g. farming, coffee roasting, etc.) it is not rated as a food safe material by the FDA. This cyclone should only be used for food waste products and not anything that will re-purposed for later consumption.

Since there is no viewing window included on the fiber drum of the Super Dust Deputy 4" Deluxe Kit, checking the fill level will require that you manually open the drum. How quickly your container is filled with vary significantly with what type of work you're doing (e.g. cutting, sanding, planing, etc.). We recommend checking the drum fairly often once you've first installed the cyclone. This will help you develop an instinct for how quickly the container is filled. Alternatively, our Dust Sentry Bin Level Indicator can be installed to the cyclone/drum lid. This infrared sensor will automatically alert you once the drum has reached a preset fill level of your choosing. Ensure that the sensor is fully sealed when installed to the curved lid.

No. Our Super Dust Deputy cyclone's are sized for optimum dust separation and airflow, which requires a large shape that will not fit under most workbenches.

Yes, but you will need something to hold the bag open inside the drum, otherwise the suction pressure will pull the bag up into the cyclone. Oneida Air Systems offers a 15 Gal. Bag Holder Kit for this purpose.

The waste bin is not available as a standalone item, but if you are an existing owner of the Dust Deputy then we can readily offer you a replacement for any damaged components. Please contact our service department to order.
