Oneida's systems use high-efficiency, cast-aluminum fan wheels. . Most competitors use stamped / fabricated steel wheels with the blades riveted to the body of the fanwheel.
Spark resistant non-ferrous, non-steel material as required by NFPA fire codes.
Magnesium-Aluminum Alloy - Extremely strong with full material handling strength. Unbreakable, even in material handling applications. Stronger than steel by weight.
Cast to perfect airfoil shape for high performance and low noise. (our units tested at the lowest noise level in independent tests while producing the most airflow)
Two-Plane / Dynamic balance to G-6.3 or G-4.0 specs. Same spec used to balance aircraft turbine engine rotors.
Lower weight allows motor to drive air, not overcome high inertial loads.
Independent report* shows lowest noise level tested. Some competitors are twice as loud!
* 2Hp Commercial System which was tested by WOOD magazine in December 2003.
Installing a dust collection system will greatly reduce airborne dust levels in your shop. However, NIOSH recommends that respirators must be worn if the ambient concentration of wood dust exceeds the prescribed exposure limit. If in doubt wear a NIOSH mask.
