Preston Machinery Dust Collection Systems Distributor
Collectors & Filters sells and supports Preston Machinery systems. We spec and deploy these solutions to eliminate combustible dust hazards and maximize facility airflow in plants across the country from our office in Indiana, and we ship nationwide.
Preston Machinery is engineered for facilities that can’t afford retrofits or downtime. Unlike off-the-shelf collectors that require $5,000 to $20,000 in field modifications, their custom-integrated systems arrive ready to run. You get 5,000+ CFM capacity without the maintenance headaches.
The Preston Machinery Advantage
Most dust collectors are designed in a vacuum. Preston engineers each system to your exact facility: your dust type, your airflow demand, your installation constraints.
The result? Quick installation and setup; from unboxing to operation in under an hour for modular units.

Frequently Asked Questions
Preston Machinery is a woodworking-focused dust collection and ventilation equipment company that has been in business since 1993. Unlike most equipment distributors, Preston actually manufactures their own dust collector in-house rather than reselling another brand's unit. They serve woodworking shops, cabinet shops, furniture manufacturers, and similar wood-processing facilities with dust collectors, clamp-style ducting, HVLS ceiling fans, air compressors, and installation services.
Preston Machinery manufactures their own 5,000 CFM dust collector in-house. The unit uses a reverse inclined material handling fan and is available with either plastic filter bags or a rolling dump bin for collected material. Systems are available in indoor and outdoor configurations. Because Preston builds the unit themselves rather than sourcing it from a third party, they can adapt the design to specific shop requirements.
Preston's dust collector is available in 5, 10, and 15 horsepower configurations to match different facility sizes and airflow requirements. The modular design allows for scaled configurations as a shop grows without replacing the entire collector.
Preston Machinery's primary market is woodworking cabinet manufacturing, furniture production, millwork, and custom wood shops. Their product line is purpose-built for the dust types, airflow volumes, and space constraints typical of these environments. Their HVLS ceiling fans, clamp-style ducting, and air compressor systems are similarly oriented toward the wood products manufacturing market.
Preston uses clamp-style modular ducting, which installs faster than traditional spiral or flanged duct and allows for future expansion without cutting or welding. The modular setup is well suited to shops of any size and makes it straightforward to add pickup points or reconfigure the system as equipment layouts change.
Yes. Preston offers the PMF Eazy Breeze HVLS (High Volume Low Speed) ceiling fan line for shops and production facilities. HVLS fans move large volumes of air slowly and efficiently, creating a cooling effect in summer and destratifying warm air in winter to reduce heating costs. They are particularly effective in high-bay woodworking and manufacturing buildings where standard fans are inadequate.
Yes. Preston has a field service team that handles installation of dust collection systems, including machinery moving and rigging. For facilities that do not have in-house maintenance staff capable of installing ductwork and collector systems, Preston's installation service is a meaningful option. Collectors & Filters can coordinate installation support for Indiana facilities.
Yes. Preston provides engineering services for dust collection system design. Proper engineering on an indoor dust collection system can accommodate multiple machines simultaneously and often saves significantly over the cost of an outdoor system installation. Engineering review ensures the system is sized correctly for your actual airflow demand before equipment is ordered.
