Oneida Air Systems' dust collectors are designed and tested for woodworking applications. While they can also be functional for other applications and materials, customers that use our collectors – in all cases, even with wood dust – must do so with the understanding that they take responsibility to ensure proper safety and compliance within their facility and that they follow prescribed Federal, State, Local, OSHA, NFPA, and any other applicable codes or regulations relating to the materials they are collecting. If unsure, customers should consult with their local experts and Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). We strongly recommend reviewing this product's Owner's Manual and our Product Safety Webpage for more information prior to ordering.

FAQ

Why does the Mini Gorilla use an unusual 20A plug and receptacle?

The Mini Gorilla was built to be as powerful as possible but still run on a 110V (115V) circuit. The system draws 16 Amps so it needs to be powered by a 20 Amp circuit. 20 Amp plugs and receptacles are mae to be "mistake proof" and have a different plug/receptacle orientation to ensure the device cannot be plugged into a more typical 15 Amp outlet.

What do I need to know about NFPA regulations?

Fire protection regulations are a complex and ever-changing set of rules that differ from facility to facility. However, all of Oneida Air Systems' dust collector are NFPA Compliance Ready and we provide best practices and guidance for assisting customers - read our NFPA Reference Guide for more information.

If they have the same horsepower, what's the difference between the 110V and 220V models?

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. Please note that the NEMA plug type will differ between units. Refer to the Specifications tab for more information.

How can I connect 4" Flex Hose directly to the inlet?

The Mini Gorilla is equipped with an Inlet Adapter Kit for 4" Hose. After installing this adapter it becomes very simple to attach and remove 4" diameter flex hose from the inlet.

Is this product compatible with Quick-Clamp Duct?

Yes but you will first need to install a Machine Adapter into the dust collector's inlet. 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 ~4.9" O.D. on the raw end.

What dust can be collected with your collector?

Oneida Air Systems' dust collectors are designed and tested for wood and wood dust. They can and have been used effectively for various other debris, including drywall dust, paper dust, agricultural dust, and metal chips. Please note that some common materials when cut, ground or processed by machinery may become highly toxic, flammable, or deflagrable and explosive. Customers must ensure that their particular use of a dust collection system is in accordance with national, state, local, NFPA, OSHA and all other applicable codes.

What is a static dissipative material?

Static dissipative (SD) refers to the material's electrical conductivity. SD materials are superior to anti-static (AS) materials, but not quite as good as conductive or static conductive (SC) materials in terms of reducing static charge build-up.

Can this be used for wet applications as well?

No. This system is designed for use collecting dry materials only.

How do I reattach the Mini-Gorilla bin?

The best technique for reattaching the Mini-Gorilla bin is to hang the three clamps open in place so that the bin is suspended. While the drum is hanging, make sure the latches are centered on the three raised areas of the edge. Then, close one clamp at a time using your other hand directly across from the clamp to guide the bin into place.

What are the dimensions for this product?

General system dimensions are shown in the Specifications tab on each product page. More detailed information can be found in the product's Owner's Manual, located under the Documents tab.

Is it normal for my dust collector to run hot?

Yes. All motors generate heat, which is why it is essential to have proper ventilation around the motor for cooling.

Can this system be connected to a GFCI breaker?

Yes. All of our dust collection systems can be used in conjunction with GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) type breakers, as well as the older style of HACR (Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration) type breakers.

How do I connect the Mini Gorilla to my tools?

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 necessary and secured in place with foil tape.Flex hose can also be pulled over the inlet but will generally be a tight fit. Heat (such as a hair dryer) can be gently applied to the molded inlet to make the resin more maleable and allow for easier hose fittings - exercise caution when heat-treating so as not to damage the system. OAS highly recommends our 5" Quick-Connect fitting (item #DQK050000) for making direct flex hose connections with the molded Mini Gorilla.

How is the Mini Gorilla filter cleaned? I don't see the typical hand crank.

The use of hand cranks that "beat" the filter can damage the filter's pleating material overtime, so our systems are not built with such mechanisms. The filter on the Mini Gorilla dust collector is easily cleaned by blowing compressed air from the outside of the filter. This knocks the dust off of the pleats (which are coated with a non-stick, PFTE membrane) and the resulting fine dusts falls to the bottom of the filter. At the bottom of the filter is a 2.5" port. Simply open that port and the dust waste can be emptied into a bucket or connected to a shop vacuum for easy disposal. This can all be done without having to remove the filter from the system and helps maintain the filter's lifespan for years to come.

Is there a wall mount option?

No. We do not offer the Mini-Gorilla dust collector with a wall mounted option.
