Case Study: Maintenance Savings

From Donaldson Torit – Donaldson Company, Inc.
 

 

Sheet metal fabricator Atlas Manufacturing, Minneapolis, Minn., counts on Ultra-Web to keep their custom-configured ECB (Environmental Control Booth) dust collectors running without much upkeep. Installed in six 6-cartridge Donaldson Torit 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 four years. And they’re still going.

"Ultra-Web just works. It keeps dust on the surface of the media, with low pressure drop, and dust is easier to pulse off,” said John Peterson, Co-President of Atlas. “Our air is more efficiently cleaned with Ultra-Web.”

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,” said Peterson.
