PowerCore® SVU-Silo Venting Units
Smaller, Smarter Silo Venting Filtration
The Silo Venting Unit will satisfy the need not only for efficiency and reduced maintenance, but also for convenience and workplace safety.
Donaldson PowerCore® SVU Dust Collector
Smaller, Smarter Silo Venting Filtration – The Silo Venting Unit will satisfy the need not only for efficiency and reduced maintenance, but also for convenience and workplace safety.
SVU Series Silo Venting Unit
Designed Specifically for Truck-Unloading Operations
The Donaldson SVU series brings the performance and convenience of the PowerCore® technology to the silo venting market. Built to withstand severe weather conditions, the SVU series is specially designed to vent pneumatically filled storage silos during truck-unloading operations.
Convenience • Safety • Low Maintenance
The Silo Venting Unit will satisfy the need not only for efficiency and reduced maintenance, but also for convenience and workplace safety. You can’t always avoid having your maintenance workers climbing and working on high height silos, but you can control how convenient and safe it is.
Time-consuming and often very dirty maintenance processes, frequently under precarious working conditions, are a thing of the past when using the PowerCore SVU.
Advantages
- Compact – Up to 54% shorter compared to conventional silo dust filters.
- Robust and Protected – High-quality Stainless steel body with weather protective hood.
- Clean, Easy and Safe Maintenance – No tooling required, no losable parts, and low height of just 532 mm / 21 in.
- Extended Filter Life – Pulse Jet cleaning combined with PowerCore technology means extended filter life and service intervals.
Overall Design
The SVU is up to 54% shorter than traditional silo venting collectors; its compact and low height design provides easy and safe access to the filter packs. With the Donaldson Silo Venting Unit you can save space and reduce maintenance requirements and hazards generated by changing long and dirty filter bags or cartridges on a silo top. The SVU only needs 2 lightweight and compact filter packs. Changing the PowerCore filter packs can be done easily and safely by just one person with no tools or loose parts that can be lost compared to 6 bag filters or cartridges which have to be moved up and down on conventional silo venting solutions.
Performance
The performance, reliability, and ergonomy of the SVU are derived from a combination of advanced filtration technology, unique form factors, and high-performance reverse jet cleaning to ensure effective dust release. This results in a longer duration of continuous operation. Fewer filters, better cleaning, and shorter maintenance lead to major cost savings over the life of the collector.
At the core of the SVU’s unique design is PowerCore, the most innovative filtration technology from Donaldson accounting for the dramatic downsizing of the PowerCore SVU series. The PowerCore filter pack is small, lightweight, and easily handled by one person creating an entirely new approach to dust collectors. Donaldson’s PowerCore technology combined with our well-proven Ultra-Web® advanced nanofiber technology allows a more effective filter area to be packaged in a smaller space.
Pneumatic Silo Venting applications typically require up to 6 filter bags or cartridges (24 m²/ 258 ft² ) in the past now only requires 2 PowerCore compact filter packs. With more media packed into a smaller space and a simplified airflow path, PowerCore filter packs provide high performance with a low-pressure drop.

FAQ
Q. How Can the PowerCore SVU Series Be so Much Smaller Than a Traditional Silo Venting Filters?
A. The PowerCore SVU compact design is derived from a combination of advanced filtration technology and unique collector design. One PowerCore filter pack replaces up to six traditional fabric filter bags. We are able to include a large amount of filter media area in the 178 mm / 7 in. filter pack space. With shorter filter packs, the size of the collector can be reduced.
