Donaldson introduces its new DFPRO dust and fume collectors engineered to provide more filtration area in the collector, greater filtration efficiency and better value for manufacturers. By expanding the filtration area without increasing the size of the collector, Donaldson’s DFPRO allows manufacturers to increase filtration capacity without adding a larger collector or maintain current filtration capacity with a smaller collector.
DFPRO with oval filters, only available from Donaldson, enlists patented filter media and proprietary cleaning technology to improve filtration efficiency and maintenance. Donaldson’s Ultra-Web® filter media, engineered with mesh-like nanofiber technology, traps particles on the surface of the filter for easy release and expulsion via a sophisticated pulse cleaning system. In contrast, standard depth-loading cellulose, polyester and cellulose/polyester blend media, particles typically imbed into the filter pleats, making expulsion more difficult, maintenance more time consuming and reducing filter life.
Manufactured in Bruges, Belgium, DFPRO collectors are the next generation in Donaldson’s unique oval-shaped cartridge filter and patented Downflo® filtration technologies. Oval filters are the distinguishing technology in Donaldson’s award-winning, U.S.-patented Downflo® Oval 1™ dust collectors. DFPRO with oval filters is an improvement to Donaldson’s popular DF+ line of collectors.
DFPRO is offered in four sizes, with model names that convey the number of filter cartridges in each collector: DFPRO6, DFPRO8, DFPRO12 and DFPRO16. These collectors accommodate a wide variety of collection applications in a broad range of industries including metalworking, chemical and pharmaceutical, welding, thermal spraying, and bulk handling.
Donaldson has also engineered DFPRO for quick access and maintenance and fast, easy installation. Hinged door access to both dirty and clean air compartments makes changing filters easier and safer while providing direct access to the cleaning mechanism. The dust bin, mounted on casters, is designed with disposable bags and access from any side of the hopper for faster, easier, safer and cleaner dust disposal. An integrated design with built-in fan, silencer, damper valve and pre-wired controls reduces set-up and start-up costs during installation.
DFPRO also offers quieter operation and further potential cost savings. An integral fan and cleaning mechanism reduces operating noise level to 75 dB(A) or lower. Low fan power requirement, due to a low pressure drop (typically 50 daPa), can result in reduced energy costs. In addition, high efficiency filtration allows air re-circulation, which often reduces plant heating costs.
