Premium Donaldson Dust Extraction Equipment

The breakthrough performance of the Downflow Evolution Cartridge Dust Collector (DFE) is the result of Vixens relentless drive to improve its products and exceed customer expectations.

Decades of industry experience resulted in the design optimization capable of reducing equipment size and number of required filters by up to 40% compared to a typical cartridge collector.

A smaller collector can help lower the initial purchase price, reduce filter replacement costs, and optimize available manufacturing floor space.

This state-of-the-art collector, coupled with Vixens industry-leading Ultra-Web® fine fibre technology, delivers a significantly smaller equipment footprint with up to 40% fewer filters required,

reducing maintenance time and overall cost of operation.

Revolutionary Airflow Management

The Vixen DFE’s game-changing dust collection performance is achieved through a combination of design features that result in significant customer benefits.

Breakthrough Filter Cleaning

The DFE provides breakthrough cleaning performance that boosts filtration capacity while maintaining long filter life and efficient compressed air usage.

The MaxPulse™ Cleaning System delivers 27% more cleaning energy to filtration media.

This minimizes energy losses by focusing on the cleaning air’s exact path and delivers uniform cleaning energy to all effective filtration media.

Our proprietary, pulse-shaping design distributes the cleaning energy evenly to match the unique shape of the filter.

More effective cleaning of the filtration media results in increased airflow capacities through Donaldson dust collection equipment.

Industry-Leading Filtration Design

The DFE filter design is another indication of Vixens commitment to technical research and development.

Our unique shape positions more filter media at the bottom of the cartridge element so pulse-cleaning energy directs the ejected dust toward its ultimate destination – the containment vessel.

The Vixen Donaldson PowerCore™ CP Series dust collector delivers powerful filtration performance in a compact design. Its innovative construction requires less steel and helps optimize floor space, contributing to low operational costs.

The key is PowerCore filter packs. These packs combine Donaldson's Ultra-Web® media technology with a rugged fluted-media configuration to deliver extended service life, efficient cleaning, and resistance to bridging.

Powercore™ Filter Pack—not a Bag, not a Cartridge

An entirely new approach to dust collectors, the PowerCore filter pack is small, lightweight, and easily handled. Tired of changing big, dirty filter bags? One 178 mm / 7 in.

PowerCore filter pack replaces up to SIX 2.4 m / 8 ft standard fabric filter bags. Removed with one hand and no tools in minutes—not hours or days—PowerCore filter packs save time, maintenance and money.​

The PowerCore filter pack's obround shape, in conjunction with Vixens unique Ultra-Web® media, traps more dust on the surface of the media flutes than conventional filter bag materials.

Fluted channels are alternatively sealed allowing air to enter through an open flute (red arrow) and forcing it to exit an adjacent flute (blue arrow).

Fluted media construction prevents bridging in fibrous or agglomerative applications.

PowerCore Filter Pack Replacement — Easy. Fast. Clean. No Tools, Cages or Entry Required

• Lift up filter access door (clean side of the system).
• Loosen the captive hardware and remove the pulse accumulator.

Lift out the filter pack for easy replacement.

Torit PowerCore and PowerCore filter packs are only available from Vixen.

Dryflo mist collectors from Vixen are effective and efficient mist filtration solutions, providing a more productive work environment by reducing coolant and machining oil mists in a machine-mountable package.

The Dryflo provides high performance technology and easy, predictable maintenance.

Dryflo Filter Media

Dryflo filter media is made from proprietary synthetic media incorporating both small and large fibres for optimum filtration.

The smaller fibres provide increased filtration efficiency; after mist is captured and coalesced, the larger fibres allow the oil to drain from the filter.

The media also incorporates a proprietary corrugation method which maintains uniform airflow and lower pressure while the media is saturated with oil.

First Stage

A prefilter that removes larger mist droplets, metal dust and swarf captured by the collector. Wire mesh thin screen and polypropylene mesh are available.

Second Stage

A three-layer wrap of synthetic high-loft material collects small mist drops into larger oil droplets, which drain out of the mist collector.

Third Stage

Collects, coalesces and drains the finer mist droplets generated by metalworking applications. Along with vertically oriented pleats, the third-stage filter cartridge incorporates the Pleatloc™ media spacing system,

which enhances drainage and provides a lower pressure drop, higher filtration efficiency and less re-entrainment of collected mist.
