The invention relates to a dust collector for gaseous fluids and to a method for manufacturing the dust collector. The dust collector, used for removing dust from gaseous fluids containing fine dust, is equipped with a periodic cleaning system and comprises one or more filtering assemblies (1 ) that have filtering elements (2). The filtering elements (2) have a tubular extension and are closed at one end. They are made of a rigid or semirigid filtering material and are kept in contact with each other along a direction parallel to their length; the filtering elements (2) enclose, between them, flow channels (3) open at one end and closed at the end oppositethe end at which the filtering elements (2) are closed. The method for manufacturing a filtering assembly (1 ) of the dust collector comprises the steps of: permanently deforming a sheet of a filtering material so as to obtain a corrugated sheet (8) with a cross-section defined by repetitions of Ώ-shaped forms that are connected to each other; coupling two deformed sheets, so as to keep the straight parts of the reshaped forms in contact and to obtain rows of filtering elements (2); connecting the various rows of filtering elements to each other, by placing them in contact along generatrices of the elements facing each other; closing the ends of the filtering elements (2) and of flow channels (3) that are formed between the filtering elements.
