The Vaniman Vanguard Family of Dental Dust Collectors

Vaniman Vanguard Dental Dust Collectors

We get questions from time to time about the differences between our Vanguard series of dental dust collectors. Please don’t fret — it’s really pretty simple!

There are only three different models. There’s variety in how they get used, but three models is easy to remember. They can be configured for multiple stations and purchased with or without an Accumulator, but the model is your starting point.

Let’s take a quick look at what distinguishes each one, and who these models are for…

Vanguard 1X

  • Single station
  • Single speed motor
  • Most economical Vanguard unit

The Vaniman Vanguard 1X is excellent for small labs, individual stations in labs, or dental offices with some in-house lab capabilities.

Vanguard Gold 2X

  • One or two stations
  • Powerful multiple-speed motor
  • Most popular unit

The Vaniman Vanguard Gold 2X is well suited for labs and clinics of all sizes.

Vanguard Platinum 2X

  • One or two stations
  • Variable speed motor
  • Autopilot syncs with handpiece (5A or less) to activate unit when handpiece in use
  • Multiple stages of filtration
  • Most advanced Vanguard unit

The Vaniman Vanguard Platinum 2X is well suited for labs and clinics who need the variety of features.

Across all units…

All units use Vaniman filter bags and are designed for easy maintenance. The Vanguard series models are intended for use with:

  • Acrylic
  • Gypsum
  • Ceramics
  • Porcelain
  • Die-stone
  • Quartz
  • Alloy

These units are not necessarily intended for:

  • Zirconia (see StoneVac II series of dust collectors)
  • Blasting media (recommend SandVac abrasive dust collector)

They all have remote operation capabilities and can all work well with a pre-filter cyclone AccumulatorThe Accumulator separates 95-99% of fine particulates from the air before it even gets to the unit; these are almost always recommended, as they extend the life of the motor and cut down on the need to replace filter bags.

All the Vanguard units come with the Vaniman warranty (1-year unit/6-month motor).
