April 2008

Well, 2007 was a great year for us. We have continued to grow and add new products. This year we are very excited to announce what I feel is a major breakthrough - the Dylos Particle Counter.
I have long recognized the need for an affordable instrument to measure the dust levels in our shops. Lets face it, we spend a lot of money on our shops, our tools and dust collection. Until now, there was no affordable way to measure whether or not our dust collectors were doing their job. Please click here for more details.
Sept. 2007
September marked our 3rd full year in business. I am very proud of that accomplishment and I want to thank everyone who has been part of our success. A special thanks to the following: First and foremost, I want to thank my wife, Syble, without whom I would be lost. She keeps our office running and "tries" to keep me straight. Next: Bill Pentz who started it all; my son Matt who forced me to build the first Bill Pentz designed cyclone; Chris Brennan who keeps our production going; Mick Hatley from Electric Motor & Repair who supplies our motors and has become a good friend and of course all of our customers who have made this adventure great. I have met so many truly nice people that this has been the best work experience of my life.

2006 was a great year. We have grown steadily every month of 2006. We made several changes and additions. First we increased our blower housings and impellers
to 15" in late 2005 . Next, we introduced a Mini Shop Vacuum Cyclone at the end of January 2006. (we have a video of it on our Videos page). And on August 1, 2006 we introduced our Mini CV 1400 (14" diam) cyclone. With the same 5hp Leeson motor and a 16" impeller this machine will more than satisfy the needs of the small shop with low ceilings. It will deliver over 800 CFM through 4" pipe and over 1100 CFM through 6" pipe.
We now have Clear Vue Cyclones in England, Spain, Malaysia, Italy, Australia, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Sweden, Belgium, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Northern Ireland. Slovenia and in every state in the USA. Again, I want to thank our customers. You guys and girls have been absolutely great in every way. It has been a pleasure to work with you!
Thank
You!

All New for 2007 |

Introducing Max.
For emphases, I should say:
Introducing MAX!
I know the picture looks the same, but we've been quietly re-designing Max to maximize our system. With his 8" intake chute, Max will gulp up 1900 + CFM of your dust laden air and spit out nice clean air in return. We have designed Max for the somewhat larger shop that really needs to be running more than one machine at a time. With his 1900+ CFM capacity, Max will handle multiple machines with ease.
Mini CV06

This
is our Mini CV06 Cyclone. We have a video of it
in action on our video page and details on our order page |
|
| Due to the number of requests that we have had from people with low ceilings, we developed the CV 1400. Standing just 82" high and 14" in diameter, this cyclone packs a powerful punch.....suck. It will more than meet the needs of the small shop with a low ceiling height situation. |

I would like to acknowledge a debt of gratitude to Bill Pentz for his work in the field of dust collection. For those of you
who arrived at this site from somewhere other than Bill's site,
I strongly advise you to go to his site and study a little before
jumping into anything. Our Clear Vue Cyclone is built according
to Bill's designs and should be used in conjunction with the rest
of the parts that he recommends. On our links page, we include
links to Bill's site, Wynn Environmental who supplies the after cartridge
filters and links to several of our customer's sites. We are currently supplying complete units that include
our own 15" impellers and Leeson
5hp motors.
This whole venture came about as a result of my son building
a new woodworking shop. When we neared completion of his shop,
he started researching dust collection (I had a 2 hp bag type “dust
blower”) and came upon Bill Pentz’s web site. Together
we built a cyclone according to Bill’s plans and when it
was finished it worked so well that I just simply had to have one.
Beyond that, I had to see what was going on inside, so I decided
to build mine out of clear plastic. Well, let me tell you, this
was a great thing. Now, not only do I have a dust “collector”,
but I have a “Clear Vue” of what is going on inside
of the unit. My son and I, after having built Bill's design and
seeing how well it works, are both thoroughly convinced that
this is the best dust collector design that money can buy. No false
claims, it just works great! We have seen first hand that it performs
as Bill says. After about two months of projects in Matt’s’ shop
we took the filter rack off to inspect it. Other than a very
small amount of fine dust (there wasn’t enough to discolor
the white filters), it was virtually clean!
|
 |
This is the actual filter after 2 months
of normal shop projects that included building cabinets and
tables for Matt's shop and MDF board parts for the cyclones. |
|
| I've been asked a lot if Bill's design is really better
that the others. Below is a picture showing the advanced
features of Bill's design with notes about why each one makes this
system better than the others. |
|
In short, Bill's design
produces a unit with less turbulence, better separation and less
static pressure drop. This means that you will have to clean
your filters a lot less often and you will get more CFM at your machines
where you need it.
With our Clear Vue Cyclone you have several more
advantages. You can see what is going on at all times. If
you let your trash bin get full you'll know it immediately. Plastic doesn't
rust or dent and it's quieter than metal. In short, we
believe our unit is the best hobbyist cyclone you can
buy. |
