Finding the right dust collection system for your air quality need can be difficult. While finding the correct size is important, the ongoing maintenance cost must also be considered closely. It can be hard to calculate the real cost of a dust collector.
The cost of replacement filters has many variables and requires a breakdown of the specifications. To get a better understanding of the cost of filters, we conducted a cost analysis comparing an ACT-12 Cartridge filter to a competitors (Company F) 8 Cartridge unit, which is a comparable capacity.
We priced out a filter from ACT Dust Collectors and a filter from Company F. ACT’s standard Nano-fiber cartridge filter is 254 square feet of media and is priced at $141 per filter. Company F’s filter is larger, with 325 square feet of media and priced at $360 per filter.
After reviewing the numbers closer, Company F's filter is double the price but not double the media. The ACT 12 cartridge unit also holds an overall larger amount of filter media. More filter media equates to more filter life. As shown in the tables below, ACT’s filter turns out to be the better deal!
