Metalworking dust is abrasive, hard on air quality, and in some shops a genuine housekeeping problem. The Baileigh MDC-550 is a 5 HP dry dust collector engineered for fabrication shops, precision machining operations, and MRO facilities that need dependable, certified extraction — not a shop vacuum stretched past its limits. Two 5-micron paper filters capture 84.3% of 1–3 micron particles and 95.4% of 3–10 micron particles , while 3,583 CFM of airflow at the 10" inlet (1,487 CFM at 5") and up to 10,889 FPM of velocity keep dust moving instead of settling on the floor. A dual 5" inlet port design lets one MDC-550 support two wide-belt sanders or polishing stations at once , and the 126L fireproof collection bag keeps disposal simple. It runs on 230V/3-phase power (14A FLA, 30A 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 — aluminum, steel, stainless — across production runs. What they need: Needs a UL-certified dry (or wet) system matched to the material being polished. Industries: Construction, Agriculture, Appliance Mfg, HVAC Precision Machining Typical work: Grinding and polishing station dust extraction after tight-tolerance work. What they need: Needs multi-material-ready collection with 3,100+ CFM. Industries: Aerospace, Medical Devices, Automotive, Electronics, Defense Specialty MRO Typical work: Multi-station dust collection across a variety of polishing activities. What they need: Needs a versatile system that keeps the workplace safe. Industries: Marine, Oil & Gas, Power Generation, Rail Common Applications • Ferrous metal grinding & deburring: pairs with grinding stations, polishing stations, and deburring equipment. • High-volume wide-belt sanding with heavy dust loads: built for ferrous or non-reactive metal polishing at production volume. • Multi-station setups: the dual 5" inlet design lets one collector serve two machines, reducing equipment footprint. Works with: Stainless Steel, Mild Steel, Carbon Steel, Alloy Steel, Cast Iron, Tool Steel Warranty & Support: 1-year parts warranty plus Baileigh Lifetime Technical Support
