Overview
Welding and finishing processes produce fumes that are considered highly harmful by European and local regulatory bodies. Donaldson offers a wide range of solutions to reduce workers' exposure to these fumes. The DFPRE 1 Source collector is designed to meet the demands of modern metal fabrication, which include innovative approaches to handle new techniques and applications, increased production requirements, and stricter regulations. To address these evolving needs, filtration solutions are required to seamlessly integrate into different layouts and workflows, effectively removing process emissions and creating a safer and healthier workplace.
Donaldson understands the critical need for compact, convenient, and reliable filtration systems during production. That's why we've developed the DFPRE 1 Series, a comprehensive solution designed to ensure optimal uptime and safety.
The DFPRE 1 is not only easy to install, maintain, and operate but also delivers superior filtration performance. Specifically engineered with welding and finishing operations in mind, this series offers seamless integration. Simply connect its single-phase 230V AC power source, and you're ready to start working.
What sets the DFPRE 1 apart is its unmatched versatility. You have the option to connect compressed air solely during cleaning phases, ensuring continuous filtration quality without compromising the welder's working comfort. Equipped with renowned triagonal cartridge filters featuring Ultra-Web® Fine Fiber media and efficient pulse cleaning, it guarantees peak performance and reduced operational expenses for both continuous and high-emission applications.
Features
Performance Packaged for Convenience
Plug-and-Play Operation
The DFPRE 1 fume collection system arrives fully assembled for effortless installation and operation. It operates using single-phase electric power and does not require an always-on compressed air connection at the workstation, thereby reducing complexity and enhancing flexibility and mobility. Additionally, the absence of ductwork simplifies the installation process, saving both time and resources while ensuring optimal performance.
- Plug-and-play with single-phase electric power
- No need for a compressed air connection at the working station
- No ductwork required*
Source Capture that Supports Air Recirculation or Extraction
The choice between source and ambient capture depends on the specific application and the physical limitations of the facility. Source capture is particularly suitable for environments with highly toxic fumes, preventing them from lingering in the breathing zone or spreading throughout the facility, especially in high-volume fume applications. The DFPRE offers a solution that combines high efficiency, flexibility, and mobility.
- Fumes are captured before reaching the worker’s breathing zone and before they are dispersed throughout the workshop
- Choice between Louvre or Flange outlet plates for air recirculation or external evacuation*
- 360-degree arm rotation and mobile collector to enable workers to smoothly reach their optimized working position
- Up to 2 extraction arms can be used simultaneously for concurrent work
Ready for Heavy Duty
The DFPRE 1 fume collector, equipped with Donaldson's industry-leading Ultra-Web® fine fiber filtration technology (MERV 13), ensures efficient filtration even during continuous work on very high emissions applications, offering optional HEPA filters for situations where workers are directly exposed to recirculated air, along with pulse cleaning operation for unmatched extraction performance and extended filter lifespan.
- Donaldson's industry-leading Ultra-Web® fine fiber filtration technology (MERV 13) ensures efficient filtration even during continuous work on very high emissions applications
- Optional HEPA filters for situations where workers are directly exposed to recirculated air
- The pulse cleaning operation ensures unmatched extraction performance and extended filter lifespan.
- Total extraction capacity with two extraction arms is up to 1950m³/h
Easy Maintenance
Regular maintenance of dust and fume collectors is essential to ensure optimal performance. The DFPRE 1 is equipped with a notification system that alerts you when cleaning is necessary. Once connected to compressed air, the pulse cleaning system delivers exceptional cleaning performance, enhancing filtration capacity without compromising filter lifespan or increasing compressed air consumption.
- Manual cleaning mechanism with ΔP indicator and push button
- Compressed air connection only required during offline cleaning
- Tool free Simple & quick filter changeouts
Cost Efficient
The DFPRE 1 fume collector features efficient pulse cleaning technology that extends the life of the filters, saving you time and money on replacements. By combining Ultra-web media with our unique triagonal filter shape, this collector achieves longer filter life, delivers cleaner air, and ultimately provides greater cost savings compared to other cartridge types. But that's not all. With on-demand pulse cleaning, this system reduces compressed air consumption to just 75L/min per cleaning sequence, ensuring efficient operation without unnecessary waste.
- On demand pulse cleaning reduces compressed air consumption (75L/min per cleaning sequences)
- Efficient pulse cleaning for extended filter life
- The combination of Ultra-web media with our triagonal filter shape results in longer filter life, cleaner air, and greater cost savings compared to other types of cartridges.
