A new dust collector control solution, the Contura Pulse Controller, which will be equipped with iCue Connected Technology, is being launched by industrial filter products and solutions company Donaldson Filtration Solutions, strengthening Donaldson’s position as a global leader in filtration solutions.

The Contura Pulse Controller is designed to simplify connectivity and help customers improve equipment performance.

Donaldson’s embedded iCue technology – a monitoring system that collects and analyses data from industrial dust collectors to help facilities operate efficiently – provides an integrated solution for data tracking, performance optimisation and proactive maintenance.

The iCue solution uses integrated sensors and a secure cloud-based platform, and the system can help customers track critical performance indicators and offers real-time insights through an intuitive online dashboard. With this technology, Donaldson customers can leverage real-time data and analytics to support uptime, maintenance efficiency, and help manage their operations’ critical compliance data.

“Making iCue connectivity standard on our dust collectors through the Contura launch reinforces our commitment to delivering innovative, customer-centric technologies that help users operate efficiently . . . We’re excited about how this advancement supports uptime and decision-making across multiple facilities,” says Donaldson Industrial Air Filtration VP Mauricio Goes.

Initially available on select dust collector models in Europe and North America, the Contura Pulse Controller marks the first step in a phased roll-out which will extend to additional equipment and regions over time. This launch is a key milestone in Donaldson’s broader strategy to deliver innovative, connected filtration solutions to support evolving customer needs and operational expectations, Goes adds.

Donaldson’s Industrial Air Filtration business designs and manufactures comprehensive, customised dust, fume and mist collection systems. Donaldson combines high-performance equipment with innovative, technology-driven replacement filters and parts, backed by industry-leading service and support, offering a complete solution.

Goes warns that the Contura Pulse Controller is not intended to replace or alter any policies, procedures or processes that operators have or may develop regarding their facility, equipment and their maintenance and safety. Operators will be solely responsible for managing their facility and equipment in a safe and appropriate manner.
