UPDATE! 2nd Review: Cen-Tec Systems 95798 Dust Collection Separator

- Cen Tec Systems commented on my last video and recommended that the baffle be removed for larger debris. We tested its operation without the baffle and they were correct. However, the finer dust went through to the vacuum and plugged the filter just as fast... This is a situation where I don't think I should have to choose between vacuum operations. In a woodshop, this will function just fine.

Documenting the good stuff that I work on.
Check out my sister channel @screen29for the good stuff that I see.
Use two of them. One without the baffle to get the big chunks and the second one with the baffle to get more fine dust.
Just 2 cents of from my experiences:
I've used the Oneida version of this connected to a 20 gallon drum and a shop vacuum for saw dust and metal grinding dust.
I've filled up the 20 gallon drum at least 20 times, and so far my vacuum is empty, and my filter is spotless.
HOWEVER, I have a filter bag inside the vacuum to catch any leftover fine dust. The bag still seems empty though. The bag and filter for the shop vac is green, which is Ridgid's "HEPA" version.
I've saved so much money and time by not having to clean filters, or buy new shop vac bags.
I've used the Home Depot orange version, the Dustopper, and it doesn't do a good job at all.
was about to say the same thing well said
I’ve got a setup where I’ve got a hoover bag over the vacuum filter which acts like a pre filter for fine dust. Might be a consideration? The bags are cheaper than the filters for certain! I get what your saying although I wouldn’t expect the fine dust to go into the barrel . Try a hoover bag over your filter!….if it’ll fit. When I get sorted I’ll maybe post a quick video to show my setup.
Dude for large crap like that with fine dust mixed in, I suggest just getting one of those barrel lids that send the incoming debris stream around the circumference of the lid for a short distance with a separate exit port in the middle. All that large junk will then fall to the bottom of the barrel and so will a lot of the fines. It won't clog and you should get longer service between shop vac filter cleaning/replacement.
I would try to grind off a little from the bottom part of the baffle to increase a clearance between a wall and baffle. And like others said - use a dust bag, they are much cheaper than filters.
So if you by a bag for the shop vac you will be all good
That's why they are called separators. the fine dust is filtered by the vacuum and the large will be left in the drum. no separator will keep the filter clean. If you invent something that will collect everything you will be making a fortune as everyone will want one.
Oh, and I did buy a centec cyclone a few months ago and the top and bottom didn’t seal together properly even with the gasket in. I sent mine back but think they could do with twice as many fixing points around the joining rim. Good observation about the gap between the baffle and wall in relation to hose size btw👍.
To keep the fine dust out of your filter you need a bag in your vac.
No separator will help with filter dust. Small dust to the filter and larger chunks to a bin so you don't fill the vac as often. Seems like its working fine once you pulled that stupid piece out.
Would have been better off by using a bag in the vac instead of a filter.
its not for large debris. its for dust and small chips
This is the best unit of its type on the market. Of course when you remove the baffle you get more fine dust in the vac. This unit is made for carpenters and woodworkers, not retarded demolition clean up men.
You seem to not understand the purpose of a cyclone separator. It's doing its job just fine. It's never going to make it easier on your filter as it's not designed to stop fine dust.
Separators do just that, they separate the HEAVIER materials and deposit them into the bulk container.
