DeepPleat DUO Pre Filter – Donaldson BOFA
Industrial DeepPleat DUO Pre‑Filter for Heavy Particulate Filtration | Donaldson BOFA – USI
The DeepPleat DUO Pre Filter by Donaldson BOFA is a high-capacity filtration component designed as the primary stage in industrial fume and dust extraction systems. Built for environments with heavy particulate loads, it captures large volumes of contaminants before they reach downstream filters such as HEPA and activated carbon filters. This ensures improved air quality, enhanced system reliability, and extended filter life.
What sets the DeepPleat DUO apart is its dual-stage design, combining a deep pleated filter media with an integrated drop-out chamber. This configuration allows heavier particles to separate and settle before reaching the filter surface, significantly reducing clogging and maintaining consistent airflow performance.
Widely used across industries such as laser processing, electronics manufacturing, and additive manufacturing, the DeepPleat DUO Pre Filter improves operational efficiency while reducing maintenance frequency. Its ability to protect downstream filters and minimise downtime makes it an essential component in high-performance industrial extraction systems.
Understanding DeepPleat DUO Pre Filter – Donaldson BOFA
The DeepPleat DUO Pre Filter combines two key elements: a deep pleated F8-grade filtration media and a large-capacity drop-out chamber. This dual-stage configuration enhances filtration efficiency by separating larger particles before they reach the filter media.
As contaminated air enters the filter, heavier particles lose velocity and settle into the drop-out chamber. The remaining finer particulates are then captured by the pleated filter media, which offers a significantly increased surface area (up to 30 m² depending on system size).
This process reduces the load on the filter media, prevents premature clogging, and ensures consistent airflow and extended filter life. The design also supports safe and easy replacement, particularly in environments where hazardous contaminants are present.
Overall, the DeepPleat DUO Pre Filter serves as a high-efficiency first-stage filtration component, ensuring improved system performance and cost-effective operation.

Key Features and Advantages
Dual-Stage Filtration Design
The DeepPleat DUO Pre Filter integrates a drop-out chamber with pleated filter media, allowing heavy particles to settle before reaching the filter layer, significantly improving filtration efficiency.
Extended Filter Life
By removing large particulates early, the filter reduces clogging and extends the lifespan of both the pre-filter and downstream HEPA filters, lowering maintenance costs.
High Dust Holding Capacity
The deep pleated structure (up to 30 m² surface area) enables the filter to handle high particulate loads without compromising airflow.
Integrated Drop-Out Chamber
The built-in chamber allows gravity-based separation of larger particles, reducing stress on the filter media and improving performance.
Optimized Airflow Performance
The design ensures low pressure drop and stable airflow, enhancing the overall efficiency of extraction systems.
