Tired of being let down? Find out how our dust extraction cartridge filters surpass expectations.
In the metalworking industry, you probably hear promises from a lot of different products every day. However, before purchasing a new product, you need to be able to have confidence that it will live up to your high expectations. Not only is this an important matter for the safety and wellbeing of your employees and workspace, but improper safety equipment can also cost you! As Shannon Decamp of The Fabricator points out, OSHA continues to crack down on metal fabricators, costing the industry $7 million in citations alone last year. So, if your shop is looking for high performing dust extraction cartridge filters, you probably want some guarantee that this product will perform before you buy.
At Imperial Systems, we understand; you want to make the best possible choice in dust extraction cartridge filters that you can. So, we are proud to share a recent case study which demonstrates how our DeltaMAXX cartridge filters surpassed the expectations of a Texas Welding School.
Exceeding Expectations
Perhaps no one knows better than an educational institution the challenge and the necessity of balancing the cost and performance when it comes to safety equipment. At Texas Community College, the welding technology program was looking for more cost effective cartridge filters for their Lincoln Statiflex 6000 Dust Collector. However, with the high stakes of students involved, this school also needed a product that they could rely on for the highest level of safety.
Enter the DeltaMAXX Cartridge Filter from Imperial Systems.
After reviewing our literature, the director of the welding program purchased four of these filters. We’ll let him tell you the rest of the story:
“The System is running very smooth, not much back blow. When turning on the dust collector in the past we have had problems with smoke blowing out of the back. That problem went away when we installed the DeltaMAXX filters”, said the Texas welding school instructor. “Imperial Systems’ dust collector filters are very durable and they are lasting much longer for us. My expectations were exceeded and you can count on us to be a returning customer.”

DeltaMAXX is the #1 industrial filter we will stand by for optimal results.
In the metalworking industry, it’s important that you choose the best, most efficient filter for your facilities needs. According to 60 Minutes, CBSNews, there have been 350 explosions in the U.S. since 1980, in most cases due to the lack of efficiency in dust collection. Purchasing effective dust collection systems and researching types of industrial filters are crucial for maintaining safety standards.
Dust Collection Management Can Be a Matter of Life and Death
On October 29, 2003, the Hayes Lemmerz factory exploded into a huge ball of fire due to aluminum dust that had piled up and detonated. A gentleman named Shawn Boone suffered from third and fourth degree burns across 92%-100% of his body. Due to the severity of the burns to his outside and internal organs, there was nothing that could be done for him. He was one of 15 people killed in dust explosions that year.
Along with the many others who have been seriously injured, or lost their lives due to dust explosions, there are those who have never experienced the depravity of such things. As a metalworking industry, it is important to keep your facility up to standard with only the best machinery and materials to keep your employees safe.
Here at Imperial Systems, we have compiled a list of the different types of industrial filters that many facilities use, but only one will stand out above the rest.Can you guess the most reliable, long-lasting filter?
Types of Industrial Filters
- Cyclone Filters. Used as a simple way to remove dust from an air stream, it is more commonly used as a pre-filter for a dust collector. Cyclone’s require very little maintenance, with a discharge valve and fan to operate it.
- Electro Static Precipitator (ESP). This filter electrically charges particulates in the air with high voltage. the charged particulate is collected on charged plates as the air stream passes through. ESP’s are high maintenance and expensive.
- Cartridge Filters. These filters are best for metalwork (grinding, sandblasting, welding fumes, fine powders and more). Pleated media and DeltaMAXX’s Nanofiber technology allows for easy cleaning, double the average filter life and run at a 99% efficiency.
*Please note these are only a few examples of the types of industrial filters used for dust and particulates.

Imperial Systems’ industrial filters offer major benefits in metalworking shops across the country.
If you have been in the metalworking field for any amount of time, you are probably well aware that industrial filters are a staple in any well equipped shop. These cartridge filters are instrumental in the proper functioning of your industrial dust and fume collection systems. However, you may not be aware of the true impact that the industrial dust filters you choose could be having on your business.
At Imperial Systems, we design and manufacture industrial filters every day. Because of that, we have an in depth awareness of the true impact of these products and want to help metalworkers like you discover the full extent of what industrial dust collection filters really do for your business.
Your Industrial Filters Have A Major Impact in 3 Major Facets Of Your Business
As with almost any piece of equipment in your business, the choice you make in filters will either help or hinder three major areas of your work. With a high quality filter, you can expect to see great advantages in each of these categories. With moderate to poor quality filters, though, you may have to settle for one or two out of three.
- Safety. Perhaps the most obvious product of industrial filters, safety is rightly the number one priority when choosing a filter. You should have confidence that your filters are effectively collecting dust and fumes that are created as byproducts of your work, minimizing the risks of inhalation or even combustion. Adequately collecting the dust in your workspace can also help to prevent the malfunctioning of your equipment, which can lead to other dangerous accidents.
- Energy. Your choice in industrial dust collection filters will also make a significant impact on the energy used in dust collection. When Tomm Frungillo of The Fabricator analyzes the energy usage of various filters, he takes electrical costs, compressed air-usage, and CO2 emissions. Depending upon the filters design and materials, it may require more or less energy to continue running at its highest efficiency. Those able to operate with lower energy will save your shop money and time, as they often call for less cleaning and replacement.
- Operating Expenses. Finally, your industrial filters can have an impact on your overall operating expenses. As seen above, they can significantly change the amount of energy it takes to run your dust collection system efficiently on a daily basis. However, your overall costs will also include the lifespan of the filter, service time required, and even how they impact the operation of your overall system. Longer lasting filters are typically the best investment.
