Product Insights
MultiStar Advanced Dust Collection Series
Powerful, Energy-Efficient Dust Collection Systems for Woodworking
The MultiStar series offers flexible, high-performance dust collection tailored to the specific needs of woodworking operations, from small workshops to large industrial setups. Designed for dry separation, it delivers 99.95% clean air efficiency, removing dust down to 0.1 mg/m³ to ensure a safer, cleaner workspace.
With a modular design, the MultiStar series adapts to your airflow requirements — from 7,000 to 350,000 CFM — while helping your facility retain valuable heat energy and significantly reduce operational costs through heat recovery systems.
Built for high-speed production environments, MultiStar systems feature automated material discharge and energy-efficient operation, ensuring your dust collection works seamlessly without interrupting productivity. Custom-tailored to your operations, the MultiStar series maximizes dust extraction, saves energy, and boosts operational efficiency with flexible cleaning and discharge options.
Available Model:
MultiStar C
The MultiStar C hybrid filter system bridges the gap between small dedusters and large industrial dust collection systems. With a compact footprint and powerful performance, it delivers airflow volumes between 7,000 and 17,700 CFM, making it ideal a wide range of wood dust extraction applications.
Key Features
Cleaning & Discharge Options for Optimal Performance
Jet Cleaning (Compressed Air Impulse)
The MultiStar C utilizes jet cleaning to maximize dust extraction without halting production. A short burst of compressed air inflates the filter hoses, effectively dislodging dust and maintaining peak airflow. This cleaning method is designed specifically for high-efficiency dust collection systems operating in demanding woodworking environments.
Discharge Options
Rotary Valve (CZ): Seamlessly transports dust and wood chips to silos or containers. Flame-resistant and certified for safe, high-volume operations.
Briquetting Press (CP): Compresses dust into briquettes for easy storage, transport, or reuse as heating material. Ideal for reducing material volume and turning waste into valuable fuel.
Collection Bins (CT): Collects dust and wood chips in 1,050-liter bins for continuous operation. Easy to empty without system downtime, perfect for moderate material volumes.

Available Model:
MultiStar
The MultiStar series is a highly flexible industrial woodworking dust collection solution, offering a variety of sizes and configurations. With airflow volumes up to 350,000 CFM, this system is ideal for woodworking operations requiring large-scale dust extraction across multiple workstations.
Includes customizable housing sizes, modular filter design, and flexible discharge setups including rotary valves, briquetting systems, and more.
Key Features
Cleaning & Discharge Options Optimized for Every Application
Cleaning Options
Low Pressure Scavenging Air (Cleaning Carts): A scavenging air cart blows air into the filter socks, briefly reversing airflow to release dust. This highly efficient method keeps filters clean without halting production.
Jet Cleaning: Compressed air bursts continuously clean the filter socks, ideal for high-demand operations that require constant high-performance dust collection without interruptions.
Vibration Cleaning: A shaker motor dislodges dust during downtime, making this energy-efficient option perfect for intermittent woodworking operations.
Discharge Options
Collection Bins: Efficiently discharge dust and chips into easy-to-empty collection bins designed for continuous operation without production halts. Ideal for moderate dust output, ensuring uninterrupted workflow.
BrikStar Briquetting: Compresses dust and chips into dense briquettes for easier storage, transport, or reuse as high-quality heating material. Briquetting reduces material volume, enhances storage efficiency, and turns waste into valuable energy, offering both environmental and cost-saving benefits.
Airlock Rotary Valve: Ensures pressure-free material discharge, adaptable to different operational needs.
Discharges material into easy-to-handle bins or big-bags for simple collection
Offers multiple options for smooth, continuous discharge into silos or containers:
- Crosswise Range: Compact installations discharge material via gravity through a rotary valve, minimizing maintenance and maximizing space efficiency
- Lengthwise Range with Chain Conveyor: For larger setups, the drag chain conveyor moves material efficiently over long distances, perfect for silos
- Stirrer/Sliding Bar: A sliding bar prevents material bridging in low-height installations, discharging via rotary valves or briquetting presses
- Screw Conveyors: Best for heavy or compacted materials, screw conveyors ensure safe, continuous transport to discharge points, ideal for large operations.
