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.

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 Accumulator. The 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).
