Ultra-Web Cartridge Filters Case Study at Ready Machine Tool & Die

This case study details the implementation of Donaldson Torit Ultra-Web cartridge filters at Ready Machine Tool & Die Corp, a metalworking facility. The objective was to improve air quality and extend filter life in their dust collection system. Prior to the upgrade, the facility faced challenges with frequent filter changeouts every three months, which did not adequately eliminate visible smoke in the plant air. The solution involved replacing the old dust collector with a Donaldson Torit Downflo Oval (DFO) model equipped with Ultra-Web filters. The results demonstrated a significant enhancement in air quality, with the new filters lasting over a year without replacement. The facility reported a reduction in the number of filters needed by 25% and a 400% decrease in filter changes, leading to visibly cleaner air. The case study emphasizes the effectiveness of the Ultra-Web filters in achieving cleaner air and longer filter life in a demanding industrial environment.
