What is the difference between a Dustkop and a Filterkop?

Dustkop is AGET's trade name for their full line of dust collectors, including cyclone separators, self-contained unit collectors, and portable collectors. Filterkop is AGET's trade name for their shaker-type baghouse after-filters, which capture fine dust from cyclone exhaust streams. In a two-stage system, the Dustkop cyclone removes heavy particulates first, and the Filterkop baghouse filters the remaining fine dust to produce air clean enough for indoor recirculation.

What CFM and HP range do AGET dust collectors cover?

AGET manufactures over 600 models ranging from 1/3 HP single-station portable collectors to 75 HP high-volume central systems. Every unit is built to order and configured for the specific application, airflow, and filtration requirements of the facility.

Can AGET cyclone collectors be paired with baghouse after-filters?

Yes. AGET's two-stage cyclone-to-baghouse systems pair a Dustkop cyclone separator with a Filterkop shaker-type after-filter. The cyclone removes heavy particulates, and the Filterkop captures fine dust from the cyclone exhaust. This configuration yields filtered air that can be recirculated back into the workspace where codes allow, reducing heating and cooling costs.

What is a Mistkop mist collector used for?

Mistkop is AGET's trade name for their industrial mist collectors. These units remove oil mist, coolant mist, and smoke generated by CNC machining, grinding, drilling, and other metalworking operations. They use compressed fiberglass filter media to capture mist particles, drain collected fluid for recycling, and return filtered air to the workspace.

AGET Dust Collector Distributor

AGET Manufacturing has built dust collectors and mist collectors since 1938. Their product line spans 600+ models from 1/3 HP portable units to 75 HP high-volume systems, all sold under the Dustkop and Mistkop trade names. Every unit ships built-to-order from Adrian, Michigan.

As an authorized AGET distributor, Knape Associates specs and supplies the full Dustkop and Mistkop product line. When your application needs more than dust collection, we source fans, heaters, dampers, and collectors from 30+ manufacturer lines under one purchase order.

AGET Dust Collection Equipment

Product Line	Type	What It Handles
Dustkop Cyclone Separators	Pull-through and push-through cyclone collectors	Heavy particulates, wood chips, metal shavings, granular dust
Filterkop Baghouse After-Filters	Modular shaker-type baghouse collectors	Fine dust that passes through cyclones. Recirculates filtered air back to the workspace.
Dustkop Self-Contained Unit Collectors	Portable and stationary filter collectors	Point-of-source dust from grinding, buffing, sanding, and polishing operations
Mistkop Mist Collectors	Single and multi-stage fiberglass filter systems	Oil mist, coolant mist, and smoke from machining and metalworking
Dustkop Chip-Mist Collectors	Cyclone with integrated Mistkop filter assembly	Combined solid particle and mist removal from CNC machining
Downdraft Tables and Benches	Integrated work surface with dust extraction	Grinding, welding, sanding, and finishing dust at the point of generation
Rotary Airlock Valves	Continuous-discharge material handling	Automated dust disposal into hoppers, dumpsters, or pneumatic conveying systems

Cyclone-to-baghouse two-stage systems pair a Dustkop cyclone with a Filterkop after-filter. The cyclone removes heavy particulates first. The Filterkop captures fine dust from the cyclone exhaust, yielding air clean enough to recirculate indoors where codes allow.

All AGET dust collectors ship with spark-resistant aluminum alloy fan wheels, structural steel frames, bolt-together cyclone construction, and powder-coated finish as standard. HP range covers 1/3 HP single-station units through 75 HP central systems.

Industries and Filtration Applications

AGET equipment gets spec’d across any operation that generates airborne particulates, mist, or fume. Common applications include:

Woodworking and millwork facilities
Metalworking, grinding, and shot-blasting operations
Food processing and bakery production lines
Pharmaceutical blending and packaging
Plastics regrind and composite manufacturing
Cement, stone, and aggregate processing
CNC machining centers (mist and chip collection)
Abrasive blasting and surface preparation

Facilities running combustible dust processes require collectors designed for NFPA 652 and NFPA 664 compliance. AGET’s enclosureless FTP series meets these standards for indoor dust collection. For wastewater treatment plants and other corrosive environments, pair AGET collectors with corrosion-resistant centrifugal fans and fiberglass dampers from our other manufacturer lines.

Why Source AGET Through a Multi-Manufacturer Distributor

AGET builds the collector. Your dust collection system also needs ductwork transitions, exhaust fans, make-up air, and dampers to function as an integrated system. A single-brand supplier hands you the collector and leaves you to source the rest separately.

We package AGET collectors with fans, duct heaters, and air control equipment from our full line card. One purchase order. One point of contact. Your engineering team reviews one submittal package instead of coordinating three or four vendors.

When an AGET model has a 10-week lead time and your shutdown window is locked, we find equivalent equipment from another line. Your spec stays intact. Your schedule holds. That schedule protection is something a single-brand distributor cannot offer.

Call 713-467-2777 or request a quote. Our engineering team will review your application, airflow requirements, and facility layout before recommending equipment.
