Improve Productivity
Your highly automated, fast-paced manufacturing processes are designed to maximize productivity, and your dust, fume and mist collection need to keep pace. By investing in equipment that has a track record of reliability with accurate specifications, a gigafactory can avoid issues that would otherwise slow down production. Donaldson collectors and filters are engineered to provide outstanding filtration efficiency and energy savings.
And our team of experts is always on hand to provide support and guidance, ensuring that your equipment is up and running smoothly.
Clear the Air
Our team can work with you to implement the proper ventilation and filtration systems to reduce the release of harmful particles, including combustible dust, into the air and address regulatory compliance within your specific production facility. From the mixing of cathode and anode materials to coating, machining, welding and assembly, our collectors equipped with premium, high-efficiency filters can help improve the process environment, keeping both workers and equipment safe.
Based on your specific application or process needs, Donaldson’s portfolio of Ultra-WebÒ and Ultra-Web Conductive FR filters can help ensure the ideal level of filtration for your operation. The filter’s fine fiber web is more efficient in capturing submicron dust and provides collection efficiency up to 0.3 micron.
Create a Cleaner Process Environment
Our weld fume extraction and dust collection products are modular, so you can create a system that’s customized to your specific needs. Whether you’re looking for a turnkey solution or just need some help getting started, Donaldson can help you implement proper ventilation and high-efficiency filters to capture and contain fine particles of potentially harmful materials, helping to ensure the safety and consistency of your EV batteries.
Industrial Filtration Services
Managing your operation’s dust collection equipment has never been easier. With a service plan from Donaldson’s Industrial Filtration Services, you can take on as much — or as little — of the system’s management as you like. The plans include Donaldson’s iCue™ connected filtration monitoring technology. The technology easily integrates with any brand of collector and provides performance data. Donaldson's team of experts are available 24/7 to monitor your equipment and our certified technicians can manage all maintenance or repair issues on your behalf.
