Ultra-Web Filters Have No Equal
Donaldson filters keep dust collectors operating at peak performance. Offered for a
full range of dust, fume and mist collection applications, Donaldson filtersespecially
our patented Ultra-Web filtersoutperform and outlast other filters. When it comes
to Donaldson Ultra-Web filters, there is no equal in performance and value.
All filters are not alike. Equip a dust collector with a generic replacement filter and
expect the performance of that collection system to decline. Whats worse, generic
replacement filters selected for their initial lower purchase price often waste
manufacturers time, productivity and money in the long run.

Donaldson filters offer:

Higher performance
Increased efficiency
Longer filter life
Greater value

Cartridge Filter Breakthroughs
Unparalleled Technology As the world leader in air filtration for nearly
90 years, Donaldson Company continually strives to engineer filters that outperform
all others. Donaldson Company set the standard in cartridge filter technology with
innovations like our proprietary Ultra-Web filters with nanofiber filter media.
Nanofiber media is the most efficient and cost-effective choice available for most dust,
fume and mist collection processes. Donaldson offers a full range of high performance
cartridges for almost any application.
Using generic brand filters can be an expensive proposition. Will-fit filter cartridges
dont last as long and must be replaced more often than Donaldson filters. And that
means buying and replacing more filters, more oftenwhich costs more over time.

Experience the Nanofiber Advantage

Increases surface loading

Provides better cleaning efficiency

Captures sub-micron contaminants Lowers cost per cubic meter per hour of air (m3/h)
Enhances dust cake release

Lowers energy cost

Nanofiber Filter Media The distinguishing factor in our Ultra-Web and

Fibra-Web filters is nanofiber filtration technology. It uses a layer of fibers 0.2 to 0.3
microns in diameter to capture contaminants less than one micron in size. With
nanofiber filters, dust particles rapidly accumulate on the filter surface to build a thin,
permeable dust-stopping cake. As a result, Ultra-Web and Fibra-Web filters offer the
highest filtration efficiency by eliminating premature filter plugging and allowing the
dust cakes release during the collectors cleaning cycle.

Nanofiber technology is available in all Ultra-Web

Conventional cellulose media has spaces of up

to 60 microns between fibers, allowing dust to
become deeply imbedded.
