Donaldson Launches Dalamatic G2 Smart Dust Collector to Reduce Costs and Downtime While Boosting Serviceability
The Donaldson Dalamatic G2 Smart dust collector offers low ownership costs, reduced downtime, and easier maintenance due to its modular design, minimizing filter service requirements and allowing for easy expansion or adjustment.
The Donaldson Dalamatic G2 Smart dust collector is based on the design of the hugely popular, original Dalamatic baghouse dust collector, which has been in use for over half a century. With the global launch of the Dalamatic G2 Smart for the US, EMEA, and APAC regions, Donaldson is including many advances to help tackle even the most challenging dust applications, with a focus on simple installation, improved serviceability, and lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
The Dalamatic G2 Smart includes high modularity, allowing for easier installation and the ability to expand or upgrade systems. The pre-assembled units come with pre-installed bags for a plug-and-play set-up that can be tailored to a site’s requirements. Each symmetric module stacks seamlessly, offering a high degree of customisation and the ability to support future expansion and modification to ensure long-term adaptability.
“Navigating the complexities of challenging dusts demands robust dust collection systems,” explains Iman Vezvaei, Donaldson product manager. “Moisture, for example, can transform dust into an obstacle, clogging equipment and halting filtration, leading to rapid site contamination. With manufacturing advancements, new dust challenges arise, making it crucial for dust collection technology to evolve in tandem and provide long-lasting solutions.”
“This has been the essence of the Dalamatic G2 Smart design – as a symmetric, modular unit that enables easier installation, can tackle materials that create sticky or agglomerative dust, ensures longer working life, and is future-proofed.”
Service made simple
Improved ergonomics in maintenance are another feature of the Dalamatic G2 Smart with an easy filter change through the dirty air plenum and fixed insert clamps that reduce service time. The modular units feature easy-open hinged doors and access via the production (or dirty-air) side. The cage remains in the collector during filter changeouts, making replacements easier and lighter. Compared to legacy models, filter changeout times are reduced by up to 75%, with 20% fewer filters to replace.
Additional benefits of the Dalamatic G2 Smart design include an uncontaminated clean air plenum, which reduces cleaning requirements. A Radial Seal filter and fixed cages further strengthen serviceability and halve the number of steps required to change a filter – reducing from 10 to 5. Dura-Life™ bag filters are included, in a unique envelope shape to provide greater performance of the bag, which in turn helps to dislodge challenging dust cakes. These bag filters provide better surface loading and better pulse cleaning, reducing maintenance and operating costs.
Predictive and preventative maintenance is enabled through the integration of Donaldson iCue™ Connected Filtration Technology, which tracks collector performance to deliver real-time analytics to help maximize uptime, increase maintenance efficiency, and manage critical compliance data.
Another step forward
The Dalamatic G2 Smart is specifically for customers who appreciate reduced TCO and downtime. It is designed for those seeking an enhanced operational experience and optimized uptime, representing another significant advancement when it comes to capturing challenging dusts. As the manufacturing, agricultural, and material handling sectors become increasingly automated with new processes and equipment, the need for advanced dust collection grows. The Donaldson Dalamatic® G2 Smart dust collector ensures industries operate at peak efficiency and meet the demands of modern business head-on.
