Dust Collectors From China

In recent years there has been a marked increase of dust collectors, built in China or India, coming on the market. Some manufacturers, who claim and/or imply to be USA or Canadian built, are actually branding Chinese built dust collectors. At Quality Air Management, we were approached to enter into such a branding arrangement with a Chinese firm. We turned it down flat.

You can purchase NEW Advanced Technology dust collectors, such as the Ultra-Flow, on the North American market that run with a fraction of the maintenance, operating cost and power consumption. China is producing a copy of OLD conventional technology dust collectors. That technology was obsoleted over 30 years ago in North America.

No doubt, that due to cheap labor, a Chinese built dust collector will have an attractive price. However, price isn't everything! Who do you turn to for warranty problems, and, there will be plenty of them? The North American company will fight it out with the Chinese fabricator, and you will be left holding the bag. Should you buy directly from China, your goose is completely cooked.

The news is full of reports on cheap, poor quality products and a total disregard for quality control, poor labor standards, and environmental issues coming from China. Do you want to take the risk? Then again, when will you receive the dust collector? Delivery is an issue also.
