Downflo Evolution Cartridge Dust Collector

When size matters, Donaldson’s best-in-class DFE dust collector is capable of reducing equipment size and the number of filters by up to 40% compared to a typical cartridge collector.

Capt-Air uses the Donaldson Downflo® Evolution cartridge dust collectors in installations where reducing equipment size & number of filters is important.

Donaldson Torit Downflo Evolution (DFE)

The breakthrough performance of the Downflo® Evolution (DFE) family of cartridge dust collectors is the result of Donaldson Torit’s relentless drive to improve its products and exceed customer expectations. Donaldson Torit put decades of industry experience to work to produce a new, best-in-class dust collector capable of reducing equipment size and number of required filters by up to 40% compared to a typical cartridge collector.

Smaller Footprint - Lower Costs

A smaller collector helps lower the initial purchase price, reduces filter replacement costs, and opens up valuable manufacturing floor space.

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

Donaldson Downflo Evolution

Donaldson Torit introduces a new family of dust collectors called Downflo Evolution (DFE). This state of the art collector, coupled with Donaldson’s industry-leading Ultra-Web® nanofiber filtration technology, delivers a significantly smaller equipment footprint with up to 40% fewer filters required, reducing maintenance time and overall cost of operation.​

DFE Advantages

Revolutionary Airflow Management

The DFE’s Revolutionary Airflow Management directs incoming air to an intelligent dropout zone for reduced filter loading. This along with game-changing dust collection performance is achieved through a combination of design features that result in significant customer benefits.

Donaldson Max-Pulse Cleaning System

Breakthrough Filter Cleaning

The DFE provides breakthrough cleaning performance resulting in improved filtration capacity without sacrificing filter life or taxing compressed air consumption.

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 Torit dust collection equipment.

Industry-Leading Filtration Design

Positions more filtration media in beneficial locations and ensures easy, leak-free installation with Ultra-Web media as standard.

The DFE filter design is another indication of Donaldson Torit’s commitment to technical research and development.

The DFE’s 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. 

ICue™ Remote System Monitoring

This collector* is now enabled with Donaldson’s iCue™ connected filtration monitoring service. Designed to remotely monitor a facility’s dust collection equipment and provide operational insights directly to end-users, this information can help manufacturers reduce unplanned downtime, support efficient maintenance and operation, and automatically capture compliance data.
