Dust Containment System:
Traditionally, dust collection for floor sanders consisted of attaching a cloth bag to the exhaust pipe of
the sanding machine and taking a "something is better than nothing" attitude. It was better than no
collection but it was still very messy, not healthy and left a lot to be desired.
All Bay Hardwood Floors using the patented Oneida Vac Dust
Containment System has thrown that method of collecting dust
out
In place of a bag, a super efficient cyclone that attaches to the
exhaust of the sanding machine is put in its place. Cyclones are
centrifugal separators that use gravity and air speed to separate
material from an air stream. The cyclone spins the dust-laden air
stream and drops the dust out of the bottom into a clear dust
cup. The air stream which now has only a small amount of
ultra-fine dust in it, exists the top of the cyclone and goes
through a high-efficiency cartridge
Filter. The filter removes particles down to below 1 micron in size.
A pencil point is approximately 100 microns, so there is essentially no dust emission from the filter.The
dust that is separated into the bottom cup is carried away by a vacuum pump through a 1 1/2"
diameter hose that transfers the dust outside the work area to a 35 gal. drum. The drum uses another
small cyclone to drop the dust into a plastic bag. The airstream continues through the pump and
through a last filter that removes any fine dust from the air used to convey the dust from the sanding
machine.
further eliminates the concerns for any air bourne dust settling into the finish after it has been applied
as was the case with the old bag method.
