Overview
For over 40 years, Donaldson has been at the forefront of cartridge collection and has developed game-changing solutions that include enhanced airflow design, MaxPulse™ cleaning system, triagonal filter shape, and industry-leading Ultra-Web® filtration media. Leveraging decades of experience, Donaldson developed the Packaged Downflo® Evolution: an attractive, quiet, easy-to-install dust collector with unrivaled filtration performance – delivering operational confidence in today’s advanced manufacturing environment.
Plug-and-Play Operation
A complete dust collection system that ships assembled for easy installation and operation.
Flexible
Industry-leading technology to meet manufacturers’ expectations for clean air and reduced operating costs. The unit can be configured to fit site requirements.
Durable Construction
Durable construction and reliable operation for maximized production uptime.
Other features & benefits include:
- Clean Aesthetics
Strong and durable 10/12 gauge, all-welded Packaged Downflo Evolution dust collectors feature modern, clean lines to complement state-of-the-art manufacturing environments and are ideal for integration into OEM designs and variety of applications.
- Easy Service
Tool-free, hinged access doors allow simple, quick filter changeouts.
- Easy Dust Disposal
Wheeled bins, available in two different sizes, make dust clean up simple and easy.
- Maximize Space Utilization
Compact size and small footprint, the Packaged Downflo Evolution collectors are available up to 700 m³/min / 6,000 cfm.
- Downward Airflow Advantage
EPA-sponsored research has shown that “superior performance results from downward flow of the dirty airstream, reducing re-deposition of dust onto filter packs.” The Donaldson Packaged Downflo Evolution supports dust and fume control on continuous duty applications.
- Integrated Controls
Delta P and Delta P Plus control panels manage all collector functions, including the fan, filter differential, and pulse cleaning system.
- Quiet Operation
Base mounted, high-performance fans minimize noise and exhaust sound abatement design delivers quiet operation.
High Production Bin Option
Donaldson offers a larger bin option to support high volume, high capacity applications where minimal downtime for bin dumping is imperative. The larger collection volume provides:
• Maximized production uptime
• Fewer dust collection bin dumps
• Fast, simple dumping
• Wheeled hopper for easy transport
• Same collector footprint
• No additional height or stilts to add
Energy Efficiency
Superior pulse cleaning design reduces compressed air usage.
Filter Size
Donaldson 660 mm / 26 in. filters are highly efficient while having a smaller size, making filter maintenance quick and easy.
Proven Results
27% Higher Impulse Cleaning Energy Delivered
Donaldson’s proprietary MaxPulse™ Cleaning System enhances cleaning performance, providing improved filtration capacity, maximized filter life and minimized compressed air consumption, resulting in excellent energy efficiency.*
Ultra-Web® Performance Media
Donaldson’s filter design uses Ultra-Web® filtration technology, featuring a layer of fine fibers (0.2 - 0.3 microns in diameter) on the surface of the media to capture sub-micron contaminants. The resulting dust cake is then easily cleaned off during automated cleaning cycles, ensuring cleaner air longer.
