From Donaldson Torit – Donaldson Company, Inc.

Thermal cutting applications, such as plasma and laser cutting, generate considerable levels of fume and particulate that may present a health risk to operators and be detrimental to cutting machinery. Frequently, integrated dust collectors in cutting systems help reduce worker exposure to fume and help protect expensive machinery. When selecting and designing a dust collector, consideration of thermally generated dusts should include the filtration challenges for collectors due to particle size, loading, and combustible dust risks.

Products & Services
Gas Dryers, Filters, and Purifiers
Gas dryers, filters and purifiers are designed to remove particulates and purify a gaseous process stream. Gas dryers may be an integral part of a gas filter, or a substantive feature. Gas purifiers can remove gaseous contaminants to levels as low as one-part-per-trillion.
HEPA Filters and ULPA Filters
High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters and ultra-low particulate air (ULPA) filters are designed to screen particles larger than 0.3 µm
Oil and Water Separators
Oil and water separators (oil-water separators, oil water separators) are remediation devices that separate oil from water and/or wastewater. This product area includes both aboveground and underground systems for the containment and treatment of oil-contaminated water.
Air Filters (Industrial)
Industrial air filters reduce the number of particles in the air that passes through them.
