Compact Dust Collector Simplifies Maintenance
Case Study
Industry: Limestone Quarry
Challenge: De-dusting of a crusher of calcium carbonate
Solution: PowerCore CPV8
A2C offers a wide range of equipment for the processing of minerals (crushing, screening, handling, dosage, dusting).
Cement production and mineral processing are complex processes with challenges related to dust collection. Donaldson has designed dust collector solutions for each step of the process.

Challenge
Normally the dust collector needs to be built together with an access platform to be able to service the dust collector. Donaldson offered a new PowerCore® technology, a more compact solution. Due to a smaller footprint and less space of the dust collector an additional access platform was not needed anymore.
The company A2C trusted our new technology and installed a PowerCore CPV8 dust collector. The unit is equipped with PowerCore filter packs with Ultra-Web® technology and provides higher efficiency with less emissions and improved filtration performance.
