Donaldson Torit introduces a new family of dust collectors called Downflo Evolution. 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.
Downflo® Evolution Cartridge Dust Collector
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.
Industry-Leading Design Delivers Lower Cost of Ownership
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.
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.
Advantages
Revolutionary Airflow Management
The DFE’s game-changing dust collection performance is achieved through a combination of design features that result in significant customer benefits.
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
he 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.
25% Round Filter
27% Triagonal Filter
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.
IoT Enabled with iCue™ Connected Filtration Service
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.

*The Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) of this filter cartridge has been determined through independent laboratory testing using ASHRAE 52.2 (2007) test standards. The MERV rating was determined at a face velocity of 36 meters per minute / 118 feet per minute and loading up to 101.6 mm / 4 in. water gauge. Actual efficiency of any filter cartridge will vary according to the specific application parameters. Dust concentration, airflow, particle characteristics, and pulse cleaning methods all affect filtration efficiency. MERV 15 is available only in the United States and Latin America.** Magnehelic and Photohelic are registered trademarks of Dwyer Instruments, Inc.
