Dust Collection Systems > Enclosureless Dust Collectors
Not every dust collection challenge requires a large, complex system. For small shops and single-work-cell operations, an enclosureless dust collector provides effective, reliable dust control in a compact footprint without the installation complexity of a fully enclosed system. At Air Purifiers, Inc., we offer the S-Series enclosureless baghouse dust collector, a straightforward solution that is easy to install and operate and designed for indoor use.
The S-Series is a compact, quiet collector built specifically for smaller operations that need practical dust control without the overhead of a large system. It features Quick-Fit clip-together duct connections for fast, flexible installation and is available in three standard sizes to match your airflow requirements.

The S-Series enclosureless dust collector is built for indoor use and designed to meet NFPA 664 guidelines, which makes compliance straightforward for most woodworking and mixed-shop environments.
That said, compliance requires more than buying the right unit. The system must be properly sized for your space, connected to the right number of machines, and maintained on a regular schedule to perform as intended.
In school and educational workshop settings, especially, consistent maintenance and inspection are critical. Even smaller shops generate combustible dust that must be handled correctly.
If you’re unsure whether your current or planned setup meets NFPA 664 or OSHA requirements, we can walk you through it. To review NFPA standards, visit www.nfpa.org.

An enclosureless dust collector is a baghouse-style dust collection unit designed for indoor use without a fully enclosed housing structure. Unlike traditional baghouse units installed outside or in separate enclosures, the S-Series enclosureless collector is compact enough for indoor installation directly within a shop or work cell. It filters dust through fabric bags and is designed for easy setup and low-maintenance operation.
The S-Series is available in 1,500, 3,000, and 5,000 CFM configurations with motor options from 5 HP to 10 HP. The right size depends on the number of dust-generating stations, the type of dust, and your shop’s layout. Our team can help you determine the correct sizing during a free on-site evaluation.
