Let’s take a closer look at some of our Legendary waste management performance multipliers.

Legend Inline Separator – Take the Load Off Your Collector

The best dust collection systems don’t just capture dust; they manage it efficiently from the start. That’s where the Inline Separator shines. Acting as a first line of defense, this pre-filter for dust collection removes up to 90%* of heavy particulates before they even reach your main collector.

*depending on mix of materials

The Benefits:

  • Reduces filter clogging, extending filter life
  • Minimizes bag changes, cutting down on labor costs
  • Reduces maintenance, so your system runs longer with fewer interruptions

Less dust making it to your collector means less downtime, more efficiency, and lower overall costs.

Legend Baghouse Collector – Built for Heavy-Duty Filtration

For high-volume dust applications, the Legend Baghouse Collector delivers powerful, efficient filtration that outperforms traditional collectors. Designed to optimize airflow distribution, this system prevents uneven dust loading, keeping your filters working at peak efficiency.

Why it Works:

  • Even dust distribution for longer filter life
  • High-efficiency dust collection, reducing maintenance needs
  • Sized for indoor use and available in 2,000-5,000 CFM models

Perfect for woodworking, plastics, and dry dust applications in any size shop!

Legend Quick-Change Hopper – Seal in Dust, Lock in Efficiency

Tired of constantly changing out dust collection bags? The Quick-Change Hopper is a faster, more efficient alternative to standard bag collection, helping you handle more waste with less hassle.

How It Works:

  1. Seal & Position – Roll the hopper under your baghouse and lock it into place using pneumatic actuators.
  1. Remove & Transport – When full, lower the hopper, roll it out, and transport it with the built-in casters or forklift pockets.
  1. Empty with Ease – Open the guillotine-style bottom door and release the collected waste effortlessly.
  1. Return & Resume – Put the hopper back in place and keep collecting dust.

Pro-Tip: Want to maximize efficiency? Rotate two Quick-Change Hoppers to keep operations running without interruptions.

Legend Industrial Rotary Airlock – The Key to Controlled Discharge

Filtration is only half the battle—what happens after dust is collected is just as important. The Legend Industrial Rotary Airlock ensures a continuous, controlled flow of dust and particulates out of your system, without disrupting airflow.

Why It’s Essential:

  • Maintains static pressure differential inside the dust collector
  • Handles both fine particulates and heavy debris with ease
  • Prevents air leaks, keeping your system running efficiently

This rotary airlock for dust collection ensures that dust is removed smoothly and efficiently, so your operation stays clean and productive.

Why Choose Legend Performance Solutions?

At US Duct, we know that dust collection is about more than just compliance. It’s about optimizing performance, reducing costs, and protecting both your workers and equipment. That’s why the Legend line was created—to tackle real-world dust collection challenges with smarter, more effective solutions.

  • Better discharge control
  • Advanced filtration  
  • Enhanced pre-separation
  • Fully integrated dust management systems

Whether you need a single component or a complete system upgrade, Legend Performance Solutions has the right tools for the job.

Considerations for Replacing or Upgrading Your Industrial Ductwork System

When companies add or relocate production equipment, they often focus on electrical requirements while overlooking the critical role of properly designed dust collection ductwork. Poorly sized or configured duct systems can lead to dust accumulation on equipment, products, within ductwork, and even in workers' lungs, creating operational and safety risks. Unlike electrical upgrades, duct modifications require specialized knowledge of airflow, dust transport, and collection system design. Many facility owners struggle with questions about system capacity, costs, equipment changes, and optimal performance. The key to a successful solution is partnering with a ducting and dust collection expert who can evaluate production equipment, material characteristics, and existing system challenges to design an efficient, cost-effective dust collection system that supports long-term operational needs.
