AGET Manufacturing
Authorized Rep Serving Indiana Since 1955
If you need a durable, low-maintenance dust collector for metalworking or fabrication, AGET systems are one of the most proven solutions. Collectors & Filters is an official manufacturers’ rep for AGET Manufacturing. We help facilities with AGET dust collectors, cyclone collectors, replacement filter media, parts support, and system sizing.
AGET has been building dust and mist collectors in Adrian, Michigan since 1938. And we have been selling, installing, and supporting their equipment for decades. When a shop calls us with a compressed air problem or a filter that keeps blinding, AGET is usually the first call. We spec and install AGET systems throughout our Indiana territory. Whether it’s a single cyclone or a complete baghouse setup, we handle what you need as a single point of contact.
AGET vs. Typical Industrial Collector Brands
| Feature | AGET Manufacturing | Typical Competing Brand |
|---|---|---|
| Shaker cleaning | YES, zero compressed air required, self-contained mechanical cleaning | Pulse-jet systems require continuous 90 to 100 PSI clean dry compressed air |
| Cyclone pre-separator standard | YES, core of DUSTKOP design, removes up to 98% of coarse material by volume before the filter | Usually an add-on or unavailable, full dust load hits the filter directly |
| Pull-through fan design | Fan wheel positioned after the cyclone, abrasive dust never reaches the fan blades | Push-through designs expose the fan wheel to abrasive dust, causing erosion over time |
| Bolt-together cyclone construction | YES, worn sections replaced in hours without cutting or welding | Welded construction requires cutting, re-welding, hot work permits, and days of downtime |
| Filter life | Longer, coarse material removed first means filters load slower and last longer | Shorter, filters blind faster when carrying the full dust load |
| Equipment longevity | Units routinely run 30 to 50+ years in production environments with normal maintenance | Many modern collectors are designed for 10 to 20 year lifecycles before replacement |
| Noise level | Quieter, shaker cleaning has no solenoid valve firing cycles | Pulse-jet solenoid firing creates repetitive noise throughout the shift |
| MISTKOP mist collection | Mechanical impingement design, no rotating drum, no bearings to fail, no disposable cartridges | Centrifugal drums fail at the bearings, cartridge units require frequent media replacement |
| Combined chip and mist collection | NM and SNM Series handle chips and coolant mist in a single unit at the machine | Two separate units required, doubling floor space, installation, and maintenance |
| Factory-built downdraft tables | YES, DDT Series built to order, 7.5 to 32 sq ft surfaces, one or two hoppers, custom dimensions and grating | Most brands do not offer custom downdraft tables, requiring a separate third-party table |
| Installation simplicity | Bolt-together construction, a maintenance technician can install without a specialized contractor | Many systems require certified installation, adding cost and scheduling delays |
| Serviceability | Simple mechanical design, standard parts, no proprietary tooling required | Proprietary components common, can require factory service or special order parts |

Complete AGET System Components
A dust or mist collector is only part of the system. AGET builds the supporting components needed for complete dust and mist collection systems, including applications where NFPA-compliant components may be required. We help size and supply AGET collectors, components, and replacement parts across Indiana. Whether you need an airlock under a cyclone, explosion protection for combustible dust, or a control panel with a VFD, we spec the right parts alongside the collector.
Rotary Valves & Airlocks (RV Series)
RV-8 through RV-14 rotary airlocks maintain the air seal while discharging collected material, used under cyclones and filter units for continuous-duty and high-volume discharge. Neoprene wiper seals are standard, with urethane seals optional. Cleanout-door adapters and safety discharge adapters are available and recommended.
Explosion Back-Draft Damper
Also called a no-return valve, the EBD is an ATEX-certified, NFPA-compliant safety component for combustible dust applications. It mounts in the main duct upstream of the collector inlet and prevents an explosion from traveling back into the building. Supplied with micro-switch, dust level sensor, and EBD control panel.
Downdraft Tables (DDT Series)
Factory-built downdraft tables for manual fabrication, grinding, and finishing, sized from 7.5 to 32 square feet of work surface in one and two hopper models. Options include side shields, cleanout doors, special grating, discharge manifolds, and custom dimensions. The table pairs with an AGET collector, since it has no integrated fan or filter.
Control Panels
Dust collector system control panels with fan and shaker motor starters, timer, and circuit breaker or fusible disconnects in NEMA enclosures. Options include VFD with programming, differential pressure gauge, phase monitor with fuse protection, and terminals to connect the rotary valve and explosion back-draft damper.
Capture Hoods & Duct Fittings
A wide range of customizable capture hoods for grinders, table saws, band saws, slotted plenums, barrel filling, and more. Proper hood design is what makes a collection system actually capture at the source. Custom duct fittings are available to complete the run, and we specify Nordfab ductwork alongside the AGET unit.
Exhausters & Blowers (E Models)
Standalone exhausters and blowers from 1/2 through 75 HP. Direct-drive aluminum-alloy fan wheels on 1/2 to 10 HP units and belt-drive steel fan wheels on 10 to 75 HP units. Specify fan outlet orientation. Outlet transitions, inlet boxes for larger horsepower, and special drive configurations for higher performance are available.
Best For
- Woodworking and cabinet shops with wood dust and chips

- Vocational and school shop programs with tight budgets
- Bakery, grain, and food processing with shaker cleaning
- Facilities without reliable compressed air supply
- Small to mid-size shops under 35,000 CFM
- Direct replacement of legacy AGET Dustkop units
Not Ideal For
- Welding and weld fume applications
- Combustible dust applications requiring Kst 300+ explosion protection

- High-temperature process streams above 250 degrees
- Applications needing ASME-code pressure vessels
AGET Manufacturing
The product line includes over 600 collector models, ranging from compact 1/3 HP units for small fabrication shops to industrial-grade 75 HP systems for high-volume productions. Indiana manufacturers across the production and fabrication environments rely on AGET systems. See our dust collection guide for manufacturing and production and our guide on industrial ventilation systems.
AGET DUSTKOP systems are widely used in woodshops and cabinet shops across Indiana, see our woodshop dust collection guide for sizing recommendations.
AGET Manufacturing produces collector that can be configured for applications involving NFPA 660 (combustible dust), NFPA 484 (combustible metals), and NFPA 652/654 (fundamentals)
Every unit ships from Adrian, Michigan. Parts are stocked. When something needs to be replaced, we’re not waiting on a container from overseas.
As an authorized AGET Manufacturing supplier, we provide technical consultation to help select the right collector for your application, along with ongoing support for installation, maintenance, and parts throughout Indiana.
ABOUT AGET MANUFACTURING
AGET builds collectors to last. These aren’t catalog items assembled from imported components, they’re welded in Michigan and built the way industrial equipment used to be built. Features of these custom built collectors include:
- High Efficiency Design
- Heavy-duty Industrial Grade Construction
- Spark-Resistant Aluminum Alloy Fan Wheel on Direct Drive Units
- Bolt-Together Cyclone Construction for Easy Part Replacement
- Structural Steel Unit Frame and Support Stand
- Powder Coated Finish
AGET DUSTKOP & MISTKOP
AGET builds two distinct product lines, the DUSTKOP dust collectors and the MISTKOP mist collectors. Both manufactured in Adrian, Michigan and built to handle real industrial conditions for decades and decades.
DUSTKOP handles dry dust: wood, metal, foundry, and general manufacturing. Over 600 models from 1/3 HP to 75 HP, with a pull-through fan design that keeps abrasive dust away from the fan wheel and bolt-together cyclone sections that are field-replaceable without cutting or welding.
MISTKOP handles coolant mist and oil smoke from CNC machining, grinding, and metalworking. No rotating drum, no bearing failures, no expensive cartridge replacements. The MistKop’s mechanical impingement capture that runs with minimal maintenance.
