Overview
The award-winning Donaldson Rugged Pleat (RP) Baghouse sets a new standard for baghouse dust collector performance, combining innovative collector design with advanced filtration technology in our most maintenance-friendly design ever.
The Rugged Pleat Baghouse is ideal for the heavy and/or abrasive dust applications typically found in woodworking, mining, grain processing, and other industries.
Combining a cyclone pre-cleaner and baghouse into a single unit, the Rugged Pleat handles heavy dust loads and large air volumes, and utilizes embedded compressor, pulsing at medium air pressure to provide energy-efficient filter cleaning.
Up to 44% Fewer Filters*
The Rugged Pleat filter design has been optimized to maximize the amount of media per filter. The result is a collector with up to 44% fewer filters to service.
Advanced Filtration Media
Ultra-Web® Spunbond media provides 94% fewer emissions than standard 16-oz. singed polyester felt and is more durable for abrasive dust applications.
Unrivaled Performance
The PerfectPulse™ cleaning system increases pulse pressure longevity and focuses the cleaning energy directly over the filter to support world-class cleaning and long filter life.
Energy Efficiency
The combination of the PerfectPulse™ cleaning system and up to 100% more media for a given airflow supports energy savings over the life of the collector.
Unrivaled Performance
The Donaldson Torit Rugged Pleat Baghouse provides the simplicity and cost savings of a single dirty-air inlet, single clean-air outlet and single hopper outlet and takes that proven innovation to the next level.
SuperSep™ inlet system combines cyclonic pre-separation and a baghouse all in one collector, pre-separating up to 97% of the dust so, the filters stay clean longer.
EvenFlow™ baffles reduce turbulence and evenly distribute airflow to all filters.
Ultra-Web® Spunbond filters provide 94% fewer emissions than common felt bags and are durable enough to handle abrasive applications.
PD pump comes with the collector and provides energy efficient pulse air with reduced condensation for fewer problems with moisture in the winter due to freeze-up.
PerfectPulse™ cleaning system delivers every pulse directly over the filter to ensure more effective bag cleaning and longer filter life.
Intelligent Filter Design
When the time finally comes to replace the filters in your Rugged Pleat Baghouse, you will appreciate the advantages the collector’s combination of performance and convenience provides.
The advanced construction and optimally-sized pleated filters enable the collector to provide the same airflow capacity as traditional round baghouses with up to 44% fewer filters. With fewer filters, the downtime needed for change-outs can be reduced.
Laboratory tests have shown that pleated filters with the convenient Donaldson Seal Lock design can withstand 100% more sideload pressure and can take up to 50% less time to replace than the traditional snap-in felt bag and cage configuration*
Built-in venturi and tertiary holes increase pulse pressure longevity to improve pulse effectiveness and filter cleaning without creating dead space just below the tubesheet.
Advanced Filter Technology
Donaldson has continually advanced our proven Ultra-Web® fine fiber technology. Ultra-Web media provides a very fine, continuous fiber of 0.2-0.3 microns in diameter to form a web-like net that traps dust on the surface of the media. Combining Ultra-Web technology with a sturdy spunbond polyester substrate, Ultra-Web Spunbond pleated bag filters provide longer life, reduced downtime and help minimize emissions compared to felt media.
Ultra-Web® Spunbond Pleated Filter Bag Benefits*
- Media is more efficient in capturing submicron dust particles (0.3 micron and larger)
- Longer filter life and better pulse cleaning due to surface loading technology
- Lower energy use with better pulse cleaning and lower operating pressure drops
- Cleaner air, longer filter life, and greater cost savings
