For many shop owners, dust collection can be one of the toughest purchasing decisions they need to make. Trying to understand the science behind dust collection can be a daunting task, and hunting through forums and outdated reviews doesn't exactly inspire confidence for someone looking to invest wisely in their shop.
That's why the #1 question we're asked by prospective customers is always, "Why should I choose Oneida Air Systems?" We believe the following points will help make your decision a little easier.
1. U.S. Manufacturing & Components
All the products we manufacture are designed right here in Syracuse, New York. With every decision we think about our community, our partners, and our customers in order to best exemplify the principles of “Made in USA”. That's why the majority of our products are fabricated and assembled under our roof, with some components and accessories from other world-class American manufacturers.
We’re committed to using only the highest quality U.S. materials, from static dissipative resin to heavy gauge steel. With those high-quality materials and our superior craftsmanship, our products are built to last a lifetime. When you buy from Oneida Air Systems, not only do you get a world-class American-made product, you’re also supporting the Syracuse community and U.S. manufacturing as a whole.
2. Superior Cyclonic Separation
Single-stage or bag-style dust collectors lose suction very quickly as their filters become clogged with fine dust. Our cyclones create a two-stage dust collection system which allows the dust collector to move as much air as physically possible while separating out dust and debris to protect the filter. That means less downtime for filter cleaning, continuously high suction, and significantly prolonged filter life.
Our signature cyclone shape is engineered for the optimal ratio of diameter and height, providing a class-leading 99% separation rate. Oneida Air Systems' optimized cyclones will keep your filter cleaner for longer, saving you time and money!

3. Unbeatable Airflow Performance
Our systems are engineered for maximum performance, and our team of designers continues to push the boundaries of what's possible. As the industry leader in dust collection, we refuse to settle for just “good enough”. That’s why our products deliver unbeatable airflow.
The single-piece molded impellers found in many of our systems minimize air resistance and put less strain on the motor when compared to heavier welded steel equipment. Plus, our high-quality U.S.-made motors provide long-lasting performance. We publish Actual CFM ratings for our systems instead of Free-Fan ratings so that you know exactly what you’re getting. You can always count on us to deliver what we advertise.
4. High-Quality Filtration
Fine dust can cause equipment failure, create workshop hazards, and cause serious health issues over time. Extremely efficient filters are needed to handle the smallest particles, which is why Oneida Air Systems uses independently tested filter media to provide superior filtration. Our uniquely designed filters feature wide-spaced pleats and a large filtration area to reduce clogging and to make cleaning as easy as possible. These high-quality filters will keep you happy and healthy while you work!
For even easier cleaning, our high-pressure systems feature our Internal Rapid Pulse Filter Cleaner™ technology. A few quick taps on the pulse bar temporarily reverses the system's airflow, blasting dust off of the filter and safely into the drum below. This "touchless" technology is far superior to mechanical filter cleaners that damage the filter media over time, shorten its lifespan, and allow more dust particles to pass through.

5. Friendly & Professional Service
We're committed to delivering exceptional service and support, and our friendly and knowledgeable team is always just a phone call away. We put our customers first, and we’re ready to immediately address any concerns you may have.
