Overview

Affordable & Serviceable Filtration for Older Oneida Vortex® Systems

This compact and low-profile cartridge filter is for use with our older Steel Vortex DCS Sander Cyclones (#VSKCSZ000A). It offers excellent HEPA air filtration without sacrificing airflow performance thanks to its ample surface area and specially formulated fiber structure.

Unlike competitive units, Oneida Air filters work at peak efficiency right out of the box, require zero pre-loading (seasoning), and can be easily cleaned/serviced. If clogged, this filter simply blow compressed air into the filter's pleating from the outside of the filter. The filter's pleats are coated with a non-stick PTFE membrane that allows for quick dust release.

Forwards Compatibility

This filter is not compatible with the newer, molded Vortex Sander Cyclones. You will require the newer 10.5" x 9.5" Vortex DCS Filter (item #VSFSHZ000A) for replacement parts.

FAQ

How often should I clean the dust collector's cartridge filter?

This can vary widely depending on how often your dust collector is used and what kind of dusts it's exposed to but you should typically clean it only once you've noticed a considerable drop in suction performance. In our experience this can be around once per year, but with heavy amounts of sanding it could be as often as once per month. A meter such as our Filter Efficiency Gauge can also be used to monitor pressure buildup and inform you when the filter needs to be cleaned.

How do I clean this filter?

Clean this filter using compressed air blown from the outside of the filter. Click "Read More" for further instructions.

When should I replace this filter?

With regular maintenance, our cartridge filters can easily last up to 5 years. Your filter should only be replaced if thorough cleanings do not help to restore your suction performance.
