CYCLONE DUST COLLECTOR
Cyclone dust collectors are a type of inertial separator that separates dust from a gas stream through centrifugal force. Air is purified by creating a cyclonic action within the cyclone collection chamber. An intense circular airflow resembling a vortex pushes the dust particles against the cyclone’s wall, which slide down to the base of the hopper for collection.
Cyclone systems can remove heavier and oversized particles mixed in with fine dust. They are often used as pre-cleaners before baghouses. Cyclones are often used in woodworking, pulp and paper, shot blasting, mills, grain and agriculture, recycling plants, and many other industries, especially when particles are over 20 micrometers in size. The cyclone collector is commonly used for the removal of coarse dust from an air stream, as a precleaner to more efficient dust collectors and/or as a product separator in air conveying systems. Principal advantages are low cost, low maintenance, and relatively low pressure drops. The dust laden air enters at high velocity through the inlet, the heavy particles fall down because of the centrifugal force from the air flow.
