Ultra-Web SB Pleated Bag Filters Case Study

This case study details the application of Ultra-Web SB pleated bag filters in a signage manufacturing facility to enhance production capabilities. The manufacturer faced challenges with increased wood dust due to the addition of new machinery, which necessitated improved airflow in their dust collection system. The existing baghouse collector was unable to meet the heightened filtration demands. A Donaldson Torit sales representative proposed a solution that involved retrofitting the current baghouse with a larger fan and switching to pleated bags instead of traditional fabric bags. This modification increased the collector's airflow capacity from 2700 CFM to 3700 CFM, effectively addressing the facility's needs without the expense of purchasing a new collector. Additionally, the transition to pleated bags simplified the filter changeout process. The customer reported satisfaction with the retrofit, considering it a successful and cost-effective solution to their operational challenges.
