Some metals don’t play well with dry filtration. Aluminum, titanium, magnesium alloys, and other reactive or fine-particle materials can clog dry filters or create a spark and fire hazard. The Baileigh MWDC-550 is a 5 HP wet dust collector purpose-built to handle exactly that kind of work.
Water-based separation captures sub-5-micron particles and polishing fumes that many dry filters miss, while 3,100 CFM of airflow and 15,151 FPM of velocity keep extraction strong — all at a quiet 75dB from 5 feet.
A 45L/70L capacity collection drum with an easy-view water level window and drain valve keeps monitoring and maintenance simple. Designed to support a facility’s NFPA 660 combustible dust compliance program, the MWDC-550 runs on 230V/3-phase power (9A FLA, 20A breaker) and is backed by a 1-year parts warranty plus Baileigh Lifetime Technical Support.
Industries & Who It's For
Fabrication Shops
Typical work: Multi-material finishing where wet collection is required by the material — aluminum, titanium, stainless.
What they need: Needs a wet system matched to reactive or fire-sensitive materials.
Industries: Construction, Agriculture, Appliance Mfg, HVAC
Precision Machining
Typical work: Grinding and polishing dust extraction on reactive alloys.
What they need: Needs multi-material-ready collection with 3,100+ CFM and fine-particle capture.
Industries: Aerospace, Medical Devices, Automotive, Electronics, Defense
Specialty MRO
Typical work: Multi-station dust collection on mixed and reactive materials.
What they need: Needs a system that reduces fire risk while keeping the shop clean.
Industries: Marine, Oil & Gas, Power Generation, Rail
Common Applications
- • Combustible / reactive metal dust collection: titanium, aluminum, copper, brass, and stainless — filters the smallest particles, cools hot metal dust, and reduces reactivity potential.
- • Sticky dust & fine sub-micron dust collection: supports NFPA 660 compliance and handles materials that would otherwise clog a dry filter.
- • Compatible equipment: works with 52" and smaller single wide-belt sanders, 37" and smaller dual wide-belt sanders, and various grinding/polishing stations.
Works with: Titanium, Aluminum, Copper, Brass, Stainless Steel
Warranty & Support: 1-year parts warranty plus Baileigh Lifetime Technical Support
