Cyclone Dust Collectors

Models 12, 16, 20, 24, 30, 36, and 44

Mechanical separator using centrifugal force to remove large and high-volume dust from industrial applications.
An economical solution to a wide range of dust collection problems. Excellent for high dust load, high temperature, and product recovery applications. Can be used alone, with optional filter bag assembly, or as a pre-cleaner. Applications from 300 to 13,000 cfm. Heavy-duty construction for long life and low maintenance. Meets seismic zone 4 and 100 mph wind load ratings. Removable cone section for easy replacement.

Cyclone Dust Collector with Optional Filter Bag Assembly

Fractional Efficiency
Fractional efficiency is the ratio of particles collected to particles entering the cyclone. This chart shows the efficiency of a Cyclone collector with and without an optional filter bag assembly under clean, partial-load, and full-load conditions. Actual efficiency may vary depending on the application. Dust concentration, airflow, particle shape, and density affect filtration efficiency.

Operational Explanation
Power pack

Clean-air outlet Dirty-air inlet Helical baffle Inner cylinder Welded or flange-type construction

Cabinet base

Dust-laden air enters the unit through the air inlet and is diverted by a helical baffle. Centrifugal force moves the heavy dust to the interior sidewalls and carries them to the base of the unit. Clean air is carried through the inner cylinder and discharges to atmosphere or optional afterfilters.
