Overview

The breakthrough performance of the Downflo® Evolution Cartridge Dust Collector (DFE) is the result of Donaldson’s relentless drive to improve its products and exceed customer expectations. Decades of industry experience resulted in the design optimization capable of reducing equipment size and number of required filters by up to 40% compared to a typical cartridge collector.

A smaller collector can help lower the initial purchase price, reduce filter replacement costs, and optimize available manufacturing floor space.

This state of the art collector, coupled with Donaldson®’s industry-leading Ultra-Web® fine fiber technology, delivers a significantly smaller equipment footprint with up to 40% fewer filters required, reducing maintenance time and overall cost of operation.

Features

  • Revolutionary Airflow Management Directs incoming air to an intelligent dropout zone for reduced filter loading 
  • Breakthrough Filter Cleaning MaxPulse™ Cleaning System delivers 27% more cleaning energy to filtration media 
  • Industry-Leading Filtration Design Positions more filtration media in beneficial locations to support easy, leak-free installation with Ultra-Web™ media as standard 

 

Revolutionary Airflow Management

The DFE’s game-changing dust collection performance is achieved through a combination of design features that result in significant customer benefits. 

Breakthrough Filter Cleaning

The DFE provides breakthrough cleaning performance that boosts filtration capacity while maintaining long filter life and efficient compressed air usage. The MaxPulse™ Cleaning System delivers 27% more cleaning energy to filtration media. This minimizes energy losses by focusing on the cleaning air’s exact path and delivers uniform cleaning energy to all effective filtration media. Our proprietary, pulse-shaping design distributes the cleaning energy evenly to match the unique shape of the filter. More effective cleaning of the filtration media results in increased airflow capacities through Donaldson dust collection equipment.

Industry-Leading Filtration Design

The DFE filter design is another indication of Donaldson’s commitment to technical research and development. Our unique shape positions more filter media at the bottom of the cartridge element so pulse-cleaning energy directs the ejected dust toward its ultimate destination – the containment vessel.

Quick Filter Changeout

The interior of the metal filter element endcaps features a specific profile that engages with the collection equipment’s support yoke.  No special tools are required, and you never have to enter a confined space or dirty air plenum to do the job.

Designed for Performance

Based on decades of filtration expertise and industry experience, the DFE dust collector was built to deliver exceptional dust collection capabilities with a small number of filters in a compact footprint. The collector features a number of innovations developed with the goal of providing process owners with the most effective and convenient dust control solution for their applications:

  • Superior Cleaning Performance: the advanced MaxPulse™ Cleaning System helps deliver consistent filtration capacity by regularly cleaning the unit’s filters with pulsed air. The system minimizes compressed air usage by eliminating energy-wasting restrictions and volume changes in the air path. This can support long filter life, less maintenance cycles, and a low total cost of ownership.
  • Simple Filter Maintenance Filter: changeouts on a DFE collector is easy. The unit’s access doors and compact 26” Ultra-Web® filters allow changeouts to be done by one person even when fully loaded with dust. The asymmetrical support yoke helps provide installation, alignment, and sealing without having to enter a confined space or dirty air plenum.
  • Harness the Power of Operational Data: the DFE collector features the Contura Pulse Controller powered by iCue™ Connected Technology. The system provides cloud-based collector performance monitoring and tracking for real-time access to critical operational data. The Contura easily integrates with facility systems to help maintain peak efficiency, reduce downtime, and optimize maintenance intervals.
