Donaldson Torit To Exhibit New Triple-Sealed Bag-In/Bag-Out System At INTERPHEX 2008

Donaldson Torit will exhibit its new Triple-Sealed Bag-In/Bag-Out (BIBO) system for Downflo dust collectors at booth 1628 at the Interphex Pharmaceutical Conference in Philadelphia, March 26-28, 2008. Donaldson Torit's Triple-Sealed BIBO is the most reliable procedure on the market today to ensure dust containment during filter replacement operations in chemical and pharmaceutical applications.

The Donaldson Torit Triple-Sealed BIBO system mounts on the outside of the Downflo dust collector, so the clean-change bag is stored on the clean air side and is not exposed to the dirty air plenum. This results in a more reliable system that minimizes worker exposure to potent compounds.

Donaldson Torit Triple-Sealed BIBO bags are made of a rugged, proprietary bag material, Armorflex, designed to withstand tough handling operations. To avoid cuts, tears, or holes in the bags, the Triple-Sealed BIBO design does not expose the bags to the inside of the dirty air plenum, where abrasion is likely.

To further increase reliability of operation, the Donaldson Torit Triple-Sealed BIBO procedure cycles only one filter at a time and requires only one person to execute efficiently.

"Our Torit-Built filters are designed dimensionally for easier handling when dirty," Paul Kojetin, Director of Engineering, explained. "The same cannot be said about other dust collection filters. Bagging out the larger filters of our competitor into one oversized bag needs at least two, sometimes three operators due to the weight and volume involved. No one wants to risk the exposure if the lighter-weight bags tear during replacement."

Donaldson Torit provides a DVD to illustrate the Triple-Sealed BIBO process from beginning to end helping operators establish a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for dust collector Bag-In/Bag-Out operation. The DVD is included at no charge with any Donaldson Torit dust collectors purchased with the Triple-Sealed BIBO option.

Donaldson Torit designs, manufactures and markets in-plant air filtration and pollution control systems, replacement filters and products that help minimize dust, fume and mist contaminants in the workplace. Donaldson Torit is part of the Donaldson Company, a leading worldwide manufacturer of filtration systems.
