Oneida Air Systems Dust Collector & Cyclone Separator Kit – 2.5 Deluxe 5-Gal, Portable

Overview

Meet the Oneida Air Systems Dust Collector and Cyclone Separator Kit, a portable system designed to pull dust and debris out of the air stream before it reaches your vacuum’s filter. By combining centrifugal separation with neutral-vane technology, the unit aims to reduce airborne particulates and improve overall suction efficiency in busy workshops.

What this kit does

The cyclone separator is built to handle wet and dry materials, and it is designed to capture a large portion of debris at the source. Product materials describe a capture rate of about 99 percent of dust and debris before the air reaches the vacuum filter, with neutral-vane design claimed to boost separation efficiency by roughly 20 percent. While results may vary by use, these features can contribute to a cleaner workshop and less frequent maintenance on your main vacuum.

• Captures dust and debris from the air stream before the vacuum filter
• Neutral-vane technology may improve separation efficiency by about 20 percent
• Suitable for a wide range of materials, including drywall dust, flour, grass, pet hair, soot, soda blasting remnants, and metal shavings
• Recommended for use on hard flooring for optimal results

Included components and compatibility

The kit bundles a 5-gallon bucket with a clear view into contents, a matching lid, four caster wheels, a 4.5-foot vacuum hose with swivel cuffs, on-board accessory storage, a vacuum connection tether kit, and a pre-cut neoprene gasket.
