Applications
Donaldson’s advanced dust collection technology is the most widely used in the grain, agriculture and feed industry and is becoming the new standard for dust control in this sector. We provide air filtration expertise in the most challenging dusty situations. Common applications include e.g. intake hoppers, elevators, screw, chain, and belt conveyors, storage bins, silos, screens and sieves, grinders and pellet mills.
Conveying
Donaldson advocates “source collection” designs for conveyor applications, where the dust collector operates near to the point of dust creation. This way less ductwork and fewer discharge systems, which leads to lower purchase costs and less energy consumption. The PowerCore CPV and DLMV dust collectors are well suited for this configuration. Donaldson also offers several styles of dust collectors easily customizable to mount remotely from the actual dust generation point.
Silo & Bin Venting
The agricultural industry has the requirement to store materials in bulk and Donaldson offers superior dust control technology in the form of small compact bin vent dust collectors through to large venting units for integrating in to large silos. The benefit of integrated dust control is that it delivers efficient product recovery without the need for ducting and separate discharge equipment.
Milling
Barley, corn, maize, wheat, rye, and oats are all materials that can be processed, and from these, a coarse, fibrous dust is generated typically in an atmosphere containing oil vapors and high humidity. In addition, dust from these materials can have the potential to create explosive atmospheres.
Mixing
Mixing and blending processes create fine dust having a variety of properties, such as hygroscopic characteristics, sticky, and frequently with the potential to be explosive. Donaldson has an equally wide range of products to satisfy this application and solutions include state of the art PowerCore CP range with its compact design and ease of maintenance benefits, and the Dalamatic range of bag dust collectors fitted with Dura-Life media for high air flow capacity, and suitable for handling agglomerating materials.
