RF Series
Filtration for Heavy-Dust Loading & Large Airflow Applications
The rugged Donaldson Torit® RF baghouse collector has proven to handle heavy dust loads and large volumes of air more effectively than any collector on the market.
RF Series Baghouse Dust Collector
Energy-efficient, high volume dust collector
The small footprint of the RF combines a cyclone pre-cleaner and a baghouse into one unit. It features a powerful yet energy-efficient cleaning system, eliminating the need for compressed air to clean the bags. Combined with the revolutionary Dura-Life™ “Twice the Life” bag filters, the award-winning RF gets the job done while using much less energy than competitor collectors.
Filter Options
Dura-Life bag filters
Dura-Life bag filters are engineered with a unique hydroentanglement process that uses water to blend the fibres. This process provides a more uniform material with smaller pores, better surface loading, and better cleaning. These advantages provide twice the operating life before bags need to be replaced due to high-pressure drops. Longer life from Dura-Life bag filters lowers maintenance and operating costs and raises baghouse dust collection to a whole new level.
Ultra-Web SB Pleated Bags
The Ultra-Web SB Pleated Bags option provides spunbond pleated filters with our Ultra-Web fine fiber web-like net to capture dust on the surface of the filter. These filters reduce emissions and provide longer filter life which reduces maintenance and downtime costs.
Features
- Involute scroll inlet puts cyclonic spin on airflow to pre-separate dust
- Single inlet, outlet and hopper reduces duct and hopper outlet costs
- Even-Air™ Flow Straightener reduces wear on bag filters
- 60° conical hopper reduces dust build-up
- Award-winning Dura-Life “Twice the Life” bag filters
- Requires less energy than comparable sized units
- Oval shaped bags provide better snap for better bag cleaning
- RF cleaning system requires no compressed air
- Clean-air bag access for easier bag service
As an added feature, pleated bags are now available in a snap-in configuration, for the RF so no tools are required for installation.
Side by side, no other baghouse provides more performance than the Donaldson Torit® RF baghouse collector.
Two Breakthrough Filter Options
Dura-Life® Filter Bags
Dura-Life Filter Bags Provide Twice the Life Over Standard 540 g/m2 / 16 oz/yd2 Polyester Bags. Traditional 540 g/m2 / 16 oz/yd2 polyester bags are produced via a needling process that creates larger pores where dust can embed into the fabric, inhibiting cleaning and reducing bag life. Dura-Life bags are engineered with a unique hydroentanglement process that uses water jets to blend the fibres. This process creates a felt with smaller pores which keeps more dust on the surface of the filter resulting in better pulse cleaning and longer bags life.
Features of Dura-Life® Filter Bags
- Two to three times longer bag filter life
- Reduced maintenance and replacement bag filter costs due to fewer bag changeouts
- fan energy savings due to lower pressure drop
- Thirty percent fewer emissions based on EPA tests
Ultra-Web SB Pleated Bag
For more than two decades, Donaldson Torit has advanced the proven Ultra-Web fine fibre technology. Ultra-Web provides a very fine, continuous fibre of 0.2-0.3 micron in diameter to form a web-like net that traps dust on the surface of the media. Combining Ultra-Web technology with a sturdy spunbond polyester substrate, Ultra-Web SB pleated bag filters provide longer life, reduced downtime and reduced emissions.
Benefits of Ultra-Web SB Pleated Bags
- Up to two times longer filter life
- Energy savings due to lower pressure drop
- Reduced maintenance and downtime costs
- Reduced emissions
- Snap-in design for tool free installation
- Fully synthetic snap-in design eliminates the need to provide bonding points
