Long-Term Maintenance Savings at Atlas Mfg. Using Ultra-Web® Cartridge Filters
Case Study
Even after 4 years of constant duty in the paint booth, Donaldson Torit Ultra-Web filters are still filtering effectively, providing clean air back into the plant at Atlas Manufacturing Company.
Industry: Metalworking
Problem: High maintenance cost from having to change commodity filters too often.
Solution: The Donaldson Torit Ultra-Web filters installed at Atlas have maintained low pressure drop and high efficiency for 4 years!
Sheet metal fabricator Atlas Manufacturing, Minneapolis, MN, counts on Ultra-Web® to keep its custom-configured Donaldson® Torit® ECB (Environmental Control Booth) dust collectors running without much upkeep. Installed in six 6-cartridge ECB modules used in grinding and powder paint applications, the 36 first-fit Ultra-Web filters have been cleaning the air at Atlas without changeout for 4 years. And they’re still going strong!
For Atlas, Ultra-Web’s long-term savings in maintenance and filter costs far outweigh any initial price difference compared with lower-priced commodity filters. “Once you get Ultra-Web, the value speaks for itself,” John Peterson, Co-President, commented.
For 45 years, Atlas has provided contract manufacturing for precision custom-finished sheet metal. They serve OEMs in telecommunications, computers, electronic data racking and enclosures, industrial products, medical fields and commercial applications.
Peterson told us, “Ultra-Web just works. It keeps dust on the surface of the media, with a low-pressure drop, and dust is easier to pulse off. Our air is more efficiently cleaned with Ultra-Web.”
