What AGET does
AGET Manufacturing is a privately held industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 1938 and headquartered in Adrian, Michigan. The company designs and builds dust collection and mist collection systems under its proprietary DUSTKOP and MISTKOP brands, manufacturing over 600 models ranging from 1/3 HP to 75 HP units. Its core technology centers on cyclone separators, shaker-type baghouse collectors achieving up to 99.9% filtration efficiency down to 0.3 micron particle size, mechanical impingement mist filters that operate without rotating drums, rotary air lock valves, and heavy-duty welded downdraft tables. AGET serves manufacturers and processors across woodworking, metalworking, pharmaceuticals, food processing, agriculture, and plastics, with documented installations covering CNC router dust control in commercial woodworking, woodshop systems in higher education, and regrind transport in plastics processing.
AGET operates a hybrid go-to-market that combines direct enterprise sales for custom-built-to-order dust and mist systems with a network of manufacturers' representatives across the United States and Canada. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of complete systems priced by custom quote, supplemented by a recurring aftermarket stream of proprietary replacement filters and consumables priced from $26 to $430 and sold through an e-commerce storefront on agetmfg.com. The company was acquired in August 2018 by Madison Street Holdings LLC, owned by Lauren Cato (President and CEO) and John Mitchem, and holds Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) certification from the Michigan Minority Supplier Development Council. AGET maintains a 3-year warranty with free filter replacement on DUSTKOP units, a multi-decade filter life of 6-10 years on baghouse systems, and a stated customer footprint across the United States and worldwide, though active distribution is concentrated in US and Canada.

Products and services
- DUSTKOP Industrial Dust Collectors Industrial dust collection systems that capture particles and filter contaminants from air, providing clean breathable air. Includes cyclone separators, baghouse filters, downdraft tables, and rotary air valves for comprehensive dust removal. Targeted at manufacturers across woodworking, metalworking, plastics, pharmaceuticals, food, and education.
- DUSTKOP SN Series Cyclone Dust Collectors Pull-through cyclone dust collectors that extract coarse debris and particles from exhaust air streams using centrifugal force. Available in standard sizes from 2 HP to 25 HP with capacity range of 400-8,500 CFM. Used in woodworking, cutting, grinding, machining, buffing, and polishing operations.
- DUSTKOP SC Series Two-Stage Cyclone Dust Collectors Two-stage dust collectors combining a pull-through cyclone that removes chips and wood dust with a bag-type after-filter for fine dust capture. Standard sizes range from 2 HP to 7.5 HP with capacity of 400-3,000 CFM, designed for smaller-scale and maintenance woodshops.
- DUSTKOP FT Series Baghouse Collector (Single Unit) Shaker-type baghouse dust collectors for fine particulate removal down to 0.3 microns with efficiency exceeding 99%, often reaching 99.9%. Capacity range of 300-7,000 CFM. Applications include woodworking, metalworking, plastics, pharmaceuticals, powdered chemicals, and food processing.
- DUSTKOP FH Series Baghouse Collector (Modular Unit) Modular shaker-type filter units for high air volumes and heavy dust loads, with capacity range of 1,500-30,000 CFM. Modular design allows multiple assemblies to be combined for maximum filtration in high-volume industrial operations.
- MISTKOP Industrial Mist Collectors Mechanical impingement-type filters that remove mist and smoke from industrial operations. Filters typically require replacement every 6-12 months. More economical and reliable than rotating drum systems, achieving greater air volume (CFM) with less horsepower. Used in machining, grinding, sawing, and metalworking facilities.
- MISTKOP Combination Chip-Mist Collectors Combination units that collect both metal dust/chips and coolant mist in a single system. Used where solid particles mix with coolants and standard mist collectors cannot operate efficiently. Applications include sawing, machining, drilling, and grinding operations.
- Rotary Valves (Air Locks) Rotary air locks used on cyclone and after-filter discharges to maintain air-tight operation while continuously discharging collected dust, chips, or waste into storage containers. Features flexible tip design ideal for cabinet, furniture shops, and aluminum chip processing.
- Downdraft Tables, Benches, and Booths Industrial work surfaces that exhaust dust-contaminated air away from workers' breathing zones during grinding, sanding, polishing, buffing, or welding. Recommended exhaust rates of 150-250 CFM per square foot, with heavy-duty all-welded construction designed to connect to DUSTKOP dust collectors.
- Custom Dust and Mist Collection System Design Custom-designed and built-to-order dust and mist collection systems tailored to specific facility requirements, capturing inputs such as machinery type, material processed, air volume, space constraints, and special dust characteristics. Every system is designed for optimal efficiency before production.
- DUSTKOP Replacement Filters Replacement filters for DUSTKOP dust collectors, including filter bags (FLC1, FLC2, FLC371, FLC3SC) and tube-style and cartridge filters (FLD1100, FLD300, FLD500, FLD800 series). Filter bags range from $145 to $430; cartridge filters from $60 to $100 per carton of 6.
- MISTKOP Replacement Filters Replacement filters for MISTKOP mist collectors, including primary filters (FLM31, FLM51, FLM71, FLML, FLMM, FLMS) and FM-1 secondary filters priced from $50 to $95.
- Tube Style After Filters Replacement filter tubes for baghouse collectors in cotton sateen and napped cotton sateen, available in various sizes to fit FT and FH series baghouse models. Priced from $26 to $42.
