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.

Imperial wants you to choose the right manufacturer that best suits your specific needs.
It is absolutely necessary that when you are choosing which dust collector filters manufacturer to go with for your metalworking company, that you make the right decision the first time. Too many chances are taken when you choose the wrong manufacturer. Some of those chances include:
- Causing long-term illness in yourself or your employees
- Allowing an explosion in your facility
- Losing money over low-quality materials and machines
So what can you do to make sure none of the above happen to you? Research. According to the 2014 State of B2B Procurement study, 94% of business owners research before they purchase. That still leaves 6% that purchase without research, and lack of research increases the chance that you may have purchased a lesser quality product which will affect your business, possibly causing you to lose your business.
How Do You Know You’ve Chosen The Right Dust Collector Filters Manufacturer For Your Business?
With so many manufacturers to choose from, there are many companies that offer something special. There are also many companies that offer things that you don’t need, and would love for you to purchase those unnecessary products.
The best thing to do is abide by the 3 R’s….
- Relevance – Specific to your industry, you must be sure that you are getting the product that will benefit you. As far as a metalworking facility, you will be working with combustible gasses and dust particles, requiring the need of a DeltaMAXX filter with Nanofiber technology, and quite possibly our CMAXX Laser Fume Extraction System.
- Reliability – Be sure the dust collection filters manufacturer you are interested in has a dependable customer service department, and a list of reviews for each product so you know they have a product you can depend on.
- Reputation – Who will stand behind the products and service of your choice dust collector filters manufacturer? If they do not have a list of clients on their website, you can give them a call and ask them for a list. Look up their reviews online and do your research to discern their reputation wisely.
Remember with all the sanding, buffing, grinding, polishing and cutting there will be a great deal of dust that will settle and remain airborne in your metalworking facility. Consider the quality products Imperial Systems brings to your front door.

In the same way that Stanford’s Yi Cui is confronting the effects of China’s pollution, Imperial Systems strives to reshape the future of North American industries.
In recent decades, sociologists have speculated about the population growth of cities and the coinciding rapid development of urban industry. Air quality has been definitively compromised by industrial growth, and is a major concern for politicians and businesses alike. This is because dust generation is a universal problem for manufacturers, affecting industries such as:
- Recycling
- Agriculture
- Woodworking
- Steel
- Mining
- Biofuels
- Food processing
- Pet food
- Chemical processing
- Paper scrap
- & Fiberglass, to name a few.
The need for an industrial air purification service grew out of people’s’ desire for safer societal conditions. Engineers and manufacturers at Imperial Systems are leaders in the designing, manufacturing, and installing premiere dust collection systems for industrial air purification within North America. Imperial Systems is working for a safer future.
A Growing Economy Needs an Industrial Air Purification Service

This February 2015, a breakthrough in air purification was made by Stanford engineers working to address air pollution in China. Associate professor of materials science and engineering Yi Cui developed an inexpensive, personal and hand-held air filter for citizens to combat daily air pollution consumption. Nature Communications published the findings, in which polyacrylonitrile (PAN), a material found in surgical gloves, was made into a filter through the method of electrospinning. The fibers are the size of a thousandth of a human hair and resemble a web.
The function of PAN, a polymer, is to attract PM2.5 particles found in smog. The material will possibly be used for smaller applications initially, such as for window screens. Yi Cui explains, “It works really well, and it might be a game-changer.” There is potential that it could be utilized in an industrial scale in the future after extensive testing.
Imperial Systems applauds the incredible contribution Yi Cui has made to the industrial air purification field, and looks forward to the ensuing development of the polyacrylonitrile filter. In the same way that Cui is confronting the effects of China’s pollution, Imperial Systems—an industrial air purification service, strives to reshape the future of North American industries through the production of safe and cutting-edge dust collection systems.
