Quatro 1-0024-3011 Basic Dust Collector - 147.611
The Quatro Basic Dust Collector (Model 1-0024-3011) is a compact, cost-effective clean air solution designed for jewelers who need quieter dust collection without sacrificing filtration performance. Built with a turbine engine that operates at 85–90 decibels, it runs significantly quieter than shop vacuums and budget alternatives, making it a practical choice for busy workshop environments.
The two-stage filtration system starts with an AG349-03 (F349) White Cube replacement filter bag as the first line of defense, offering larger capacity and better containment. A Quatro F220 HEPA filter (Otto Frei part number 147.611F220) provides the final stage of particulate filtration, capturing 99.97% of precious metal particles — helping you recover valuable scrap for the refiner.
At just 7" wide × 15" long × 11" high, the unit fits easily on the floor beside your workbench or on a nearby shelf. The included Quatro AA114 on/off foot control lets you switch the collector on and off hands-free — a meaningful advantage when your hands are occupied at the bench. The foot pedal also allows you to place the unit inside a sound-dampening enclosure and operate it from outside for additional noise reduction.
Please note: When unpacking the unit, open the lid of the dust collector to find the power cordset and foot pedal, which are packed inside the machine.

A: It is a compact professional dust collection system designed for bench work such as jewelry making, grinding, polishing, and other precision tasks that produce fine particulate dust.
Q: What makes the Basic Dust Collector different from higher-end Quatro models?
A: It is an entry-level model focused on essential dust extraction performance, without advanced upgrades like multi-stage HEPA-heavy systems or enhanced airflow control found in Gold Vault or Jet Stream units.
Q: What type of filtration system does it use?
A: It uses a two-stage system with a disposable filter bag as the first layer and a HEPA filter (F220) that captures up to 99.97% of fine particles, including precious metal dust.
Q: What are its power and performance specs?
A: It runs on 110V/60Hz power, delivers around 150 CFM airflow, and draws about 7 amps for steady bench-level suction performance.
Q: Is it suitable for professional use?
A: Yes, it is designed for light to medium professional bench environments like jewelry studios and small workshops that need reliable dust control.
Q: How noisy is it during operation?
A: It operates at approximately 85–90 decibels, which is quieter than a typical shop vacuum but still audible in a workshop setting.
Q: What are its size and setup benefits?
A: It has a very compact footprint (about 7" × 15" × 11"), making it easy to place beside or under a workbench without taking up much space.
Q: Does it include a foot pedal?
A: Yes, it typically comes with a foot-operated on/off control for hands-free operation during bench work.
Maintenance Tips
- Empty dust bag/bin regularly: Prevent overfilling to maintain suction efficiency.
- Clean or replace filters: Keep pre-filter and main filter clear to ensure proper airflow.
- Check suction power: Loss of performance usually indicates clogged filters or full collection unit.
- Inspect hose & fittings: Ensure tight connections to avoid air leaks and dust escape.
- Clean intake vents: Keep motor air pathways free from dust buildup to prevent overheating.
- Wipe exterior safely: Use a dry cloth; avoid moisture near electrical components.
- Avoid overload use: Operate within rated capacity for longer motor life.
- Routine inspection: Periodically check for dust accumulation inside housing and airflow path.
