Donaldson web-connected technology helps simplify dust, fume collection management

Donaldson Co. Inc. has introduced web-connected technology that monitors industrial dust, fume, and mist collectors and notifies owners to take early, cost-saving maintenance actions.

The smart technology uses sensors and a controller to gather real-time data from a collector, apply analytics in the cloud, and relay insights back to the operator through a web-based dashboard and email or text alerts. Proper maintenance such as timely filter changes and earlier hopper cleaning can help prevent larger problems, assist in optimizing performance, and aid in reducing total dust and fume management costs over time, the company reports.

The system can be installed on existing or new industrial dust and fume equipment.
