Cyclone Dust Collector

How Does It Work?

Cyclone dust collectors offer a simple yet effective solution for separating dust particles from air streams. Their functionality relies on a two-stage airflow design:

1. Primary Separation with Dual Airflow:
The incoming air containing dust particles enters the cyclone chamber tangentially. This creates a dual airflow pattern. The main airflow spirals downwards due to centrifugal force, carrying most of the coarser dust particles with it. These heavier particles settle out of the airstream and fall directly into the collection bin positioned at the bottom of the cyclone.

2. Capturing Fines with Secondary Airflow:
Simultaneously, a secondary airflow is created near the bottom of the cyclone. This inner airflow travels upwards in a central vortex. This inner airflow carries the finer dust particles that weren’t separated in the primary stage.

3. Final Filtration and Collection:
The dust-laden air exiting the cyclone then passes through a filter attached to the outlet. This filter, often in conjunction with filter bags, captures any remaining fine particles, ensuring cleaner air is released. Additionally, a collection tank may be included to collect the captured fine dust from the filter.
