Oneida Air Systems Introduces Dust Gorilla Pro

The latest dust collector by Oneida Air Systems, the Dust Gorilla Pro, was designed to double the airflow performance for CNC machines. Traditional dust collectors move air at a fixed rate, but factors such as reducers, flex hose, and other restrictions, all add resistance to the air itself – reducing the overall CFM. The standard way to compensate for this is to use an over-sized motor and ducting, which can be both inefficient and expensive. According to the company the Dust Gorilla Pro’s patented Smart Boost monitors the system for any suction loss and automatically adjusts the fan motor’s speed to compensate, delivering higher CFM and a higher static pressure.

This reportedly provides up to twice the airflow using the same horsepower motor and increases static pressure at the cutter head. It also allows for longer lengths of flex hose and/or ducting, maximum suction through multiple ports simultaneously and adaptability of opening/closing blast gates without crippling airflow at the tool.
