Cyclones dust collector are frequently used as product receivers, as pre-cleaners to high efficiency fabric-type dust collectors, or simply as independent collectors for coarse dust.
Three cyclone dust collector designs are offered in order to best meet any application's requirements. The GP series is designed for economical first cost and is currently used for general purposes. The HE series is tuned to obtain a higher efficiency in more critical applications. The HF series is used in high flow applications in order have a more compact configuration.
- Stable pressure drop for a given gas flow
- Constant efficiency for a given particulate condition
- No moving parts; no replaceable filters, robust construction
- Ability to handle extremely high dust concentrations
- High temperature and pressure capability
- Low capital investment and maintenance costs
- Compact (in most applications)
How Cyclone Dust Collector Work
As the dirty air enters the cyclone dust collector, it is forced into a swirling movement. This results in a centrifugal force acting on the dust particles suspended in the air stream. The particles, denser than the air, are forced to move outwards, towards the cyclone dust collector wall. They then fall downwards, towards the dust exit. The clean air is eventually directed towards the centre of the cyclone and leaves through the gas exit.
Cyclone dust collector efficiency is a function of the physical parameters of the particles and the design parameters of the unit. Cyclone efficiency increases with:
- Coarse particle size distribution
- Higher products specific gravity
- Lower gas density
- Smaller outlet diameter. An increase in pressure drop also results.
A simulation through our in-house software is required in order to determine all the proper specifications
