Ultra-Web® Cartridge Filters Cut Maintenance Costs While Cutting Steel
Ultra-Web® Cartridge Filters Cut Maintenance Costs While Cutting Steel Plasma Cutter Application: Dust collector energy consumption and filter maintenance time were substantially reduced by replacing the Farr GoldCone filters with Donaldson Torit Ultra-Web filters. Industry: Metalworking: cutting 3/4” steel with a plasma cutter. Problem: Short life (3 to 6 weeks) from Farr GoldCone filters. Solution: Donaldson Torit Ultra-Web filters, with patented nanofibers, help them cut costs while they cut steel. When this manufacturer of railroad locomotives installed its new plasma cutter for cutting 1/2” to 3/4” thick plate steel, they expected that the dust and swarf generated from the cutter would be difficult to collect. What they didn’t expect was having to service the dust collector that came
