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.
For 45 years, Atlas has provided contract
manufacturing for precision custom finished sheet metal. They serve OEMs
in telecommunications, computers, electronic data racking and
enclosures, industrial products, medical and commercial applications.
