FAQs
Quick answers to your most common questions.
How Do I Size My Wet Dust Collector?
What is the process?
- Sanding
- Polishing
- Grinding
- Sawing
- Abrasive Blasting
What is the CFM requirement of your process equipment?
Is the metal processing equipment in an enclosure and if so, what are the room dimensions?
How far do you plan to place the wet collector away from the processing equipment?
Long duct runs and multiple elbows lower CFM production and might require going to a larger collector.
Some common combustible metals:
- Aluminum
- Magnesium
- Titanium metal
- Zirconium
- Alkali Metals
Some combustible dusts are not suitable for wet dust collection. Sinkable dusts work best for our wet dust collectors. A simple test can determine if the dust is sinkable. Place dust in a small jar filled with water. Shake the jar and see if the dust floats or sinks.
Which Dust Collector System is Best for Me?
Answering a few basic questions about your application and the type of dust generated will help you determine what dust collection design best fits your application.
What is your process or application?

The answer to these questions will help you determine what dust collector systems and dust collector designs you should investigate.
What are the performance curves for the Wet Dust Collector?
What size dust collectors do you offer?
We offer dust collectors as small as 800 cfm and go all the way up to 15,000 cfm.
What industries are your units best suited for?
Our dust collectors really can be used in numerous industries but we often see them well suited in industries such as automotive, aviation/aerospace, and machining industries, as well as military and navy-oriented industries. This is because our dust collectors are ideal for combustible metal dusts that are produced when grinding, sanding, or finishing metals like titanium, aluminum, etc.
What makes your units the most competitive?
AT Industrial dust collectors are made in the USA, constructed with stainless steel and no consumables. With quick shipping options and easy maintenance of the lifespan of the equipment, our dust collectors are ideal for all industry applications.
How do I know if my material is right for a wet dust collector?
Some combustible dusts are not suitable for wet dust collection. Sinkable dusts work best for our wet dust collectors. A simple test can determine if the dust is sinkable: Place the dust in a small jar filled with water and shake the jar to see if the dust floats or sinks.
Do you have units in stock?
Yes, primarily most models are in stock in California and some units are stocked in Ohio.
