Keep your shop clean and compliant with industrial dust collectors sized for grinders, sanders, lasers, saws, and finishing lines. Sterling Machinery stocks wet dust collectors for spark- and combustible-metal applications plus dry cartridge and cyclone systems. Choose from new Baileigh, GMC, Kalamazoo, AT Industrial and inspected used units from Smog-Hog, Dust Hog (United Air Specialists), Cat, Farr, Air Flow, IDT, ICM, Tepco, and more.

Why Choose a Wet Dust Collector?

Wet collectors quench hot particulates at the source—ideal for aluminum, titanium, magnesium, and mixed-spark grinding. They pair perfectly with belt grinders like Timesavers/AEM/Grindingmaster, reduce fire risk, and simplify maintenance with water-bath filtration.

Typical Applications

• Grinding & deburring (ferrous and non-ferrous)
• Plasma/laser cutting fume capture
• Welding/soldering smoke control
• Bench & floor sanding, finishing, and polishing
• Downdraft tables for part-level capture
