What This Solves

Built for shop-floor problems

The old way

With A.C.T.

OSHA inspection flagged welding fume. I need a real dust collection upgrade or face fines.

✓

A.C.T. Nano-Elite Nanofiber cartridges hit MERV 15 (99.9% capture). The WeldPack series is purpose-engineered for robotic and manual welding fume, the inspector will check the ventilation system, not write you up.

Pass OSHA welding fume inspection on first try

My current dust collector clogs every 60 days. We're changing filters constantly.

✓

A.C.T. uses pulse-jet self-cleaning that extends cartridge life dramatically. Nano-fiber media releases caked dust on every pulse cycle, collector runs months between filter changes.

Filter change interval extends 3-5x

I run a mix, welding, grinding, laser cutting, and some bulk dust, and don't want four vendors.

✓

A.C.T. covers the whole range from one shelf: cartridge and LaserPack collectors for fine fume, ACTion booths for grinding and blasting, baghouse for bulk dust, 1,000 to 110,000 CFM.

One vendor, 1,000–110,000 CFM, off-the-shelf lead times

Why A.C.T.

  • Sized from 1,000 to 110,000 CFM
  • Made in USA, engineering, manufacturing, and parts on-shore
  • MERV 15 cartridges remove 99.9% of fine particulate
  • LaserPack collectors purpose-built for laser cutting smoke
  • Cartridge, booth, and baghouse, one vendor for any dust load
