Product Feature
Donaldson PowerCore® Dust Collectors
Donaldson Torit® PowerCore® dust collectors with PowerCore filter packs solve the industry’s need for better filtration, reduced operational cost, a smaller footprint and easier maintenance.

Donaldson Addresses Fabricators’ Needs with the New Torit® Fume Hood
AST Canada installs the Torit® Fume Hood where a versatile hood is required to add at-source-extraction capabilities for manual or robotic welding applications.
Torit® Fume Hood
The Donaldson Torit® Fume Hood is the ideal solution for operations whose applications include robotic welding or manual weld cells. The Fume Hood’s low-profile provides greater installation flexibility than traditional canopy-style hoods and its engineered design provides effective weld fume collection in the most challenging environments. When paired with the optional weld curtains, the Fume Hood can be sized to reduce airflow requirements, ultimately lowering the overall cost of the entire dust collection system.

Whether connected to an existing system or a dedicated cartridge collector, the Fume Hood brings added extraction capabilities to any operation. The Fume Hood comes in multiple sizes and is available in free-standing and ceiling-mounted configurations for better integration into your workflow.
