In this video, we compare the airflow (CFM) of a wet/dry vac when connected to The Dust Deputy 2.5 Cyclone Separator vs. the same vac connected to a competitive lid-style separator. The Dust Deputy 2.5 delivers 70% more airflow than the competitive lid-style separator.
Summary of Methods
- CFM = Velocity (FPM) × ID Area of Pipe (Sq Ft)
- Same test pipe and pitot tube used for both tests.
- The pitot tube was positioned to measure maximum airspeed for each test.
- Tests were run back-to-back on the same day under the same conditions.
- We used the same vacuum and the same new filter for both tests.
- The hoses used are the ones that come with each product.
Supercharge your vac with The Dust Deputy 2.5 Cyclone Separator!
The Dust Deputy® 2.5 Cyclone Separator is Oneida Air Systems' latest innovation for woodworkers and other makers in need of something to help control the dust. Optimized for the more powerful wet/dry vacuums that have become standard over the years, this larger cyclone delivers up to double the airflow of smaller cyclones and lid-style separators!
Like all of our patented Dust Deputy cyclones, the 2.5 uses centrifugal force to separate and remove 99% of dust and debris from the airstream before it reaches your vacuum's filter – eliminating clogged filters and suction loss! The Dust Deputy will save you significant time and money on expensive replacement filters and dust bags, and keeps your wet/dry vac operating at peak performance! This simple and efficient design can be adapted for use with any make, size, or model vacuum and features female inlet and outlet ports that fit the cuffed 2.5" hoses of larger shop vacuums.
