Filtration technology
Cyclone separator
The cyclone separator removes coarse dust and product by centrifugal force. With no moving parts it suits duty as a pre-separator ahead of the jet filter or as a standalone coarse stage on pneumatic lines.

Operating principle
Dirty gas enters tangentially and forms a vortex. Heavier particles travel to the wall and drop to the underflow; the gas leaves at the top. There are no moving parts. The cyclone often sits ahead of a bag filter to reduce its loading and recover coarse product.
Where this machine is used
Pneumatic conveying and dust collection in wood, cement, food, chemicals and mining.

Frequently asked sizing questions
What data is required to size a cyclone separator?
Required data includes air volume, dust loading, particle-size distribution, bulk and particle density, temperature, moisture, required separation duty and available pressure. Abrasive or sticky materials require additional wear and flow data.
When is a cyclone sufficient and when is a bag filter needed?
A cyclone is primarily suited to coarser particles and pre-separation. Where fine residual dust or a low emission value is required, a downstream filter stage is normally assessed. The decision depends on particle distribution and the permitted clean-gas value.
Is collection efficiency a fixed catalogue value?
No. Expected collection efficiency and pressure drop are calculated for the actual gas and particle duty and, where needed, supported by a trial. Binding values are defined only in the project-specific technical specification.
