Streamlined Integrated Cyclone Separator
One of the four tenets of good dust collection is using a cyclone to remove waste from the incoming air. Once you've experienced the benefits of cyclonic separation there's no turning back!
- Separates up to 99% of bulk debris and fine dusts from the airstream, containing it safely in the dust bin
- Significantly extends the lifespan of the filter and reduces time needed for filter cleaning
- Uniquely tall cyclone design maximizes particle separation performance
- Neutral-vane inlet and integrated air ramp minimizes inbound air turbulence
- Ideal for direct flex hose connections to tools

- Vacuum hose port lets you clean fine dusts released from the filter without disassembling the system
- Durable fiber construction and wire cage reinforcement maximizes longevity
- Equipped with patented Flame Guard™ arrestor to satisfy future planned fire safety codes
Lightweight, Compact, and Highly Mobile Design

No. This system is designed for use collecting dry materials only.
The Mini-Gorilla's inlet measures as 5" on the outer diameter, making it ideal for accepting raw (uncrimped) ductwork fittings over the inlet such as reducers and quick-connects. Crimped ductwork will not usually fit into the inlet but can be done when...
Yes but you will need to install a Machine Adapter into the inlet first. These adapters are smaller on the raw end than traditional ducting so that they can slip into the ports on systems and tools i.e. a 5" Quick-Clamp Duct Machine Adapter will measure...
In general, the 220V model will have lower running amperage than the 110V, which can be an advantage for operators using multiple tools on the same breaker. There is no difference in airflow performance between different voltage variations of the system. You should purchase the unit that best matches the power requirements of your shop.
