Cyclones

Cyclones are designed to separate heavy and fine materials (dust) from process air streams. These units are shaped like large funnels receiving debris in at the top. Larger particles are forced out by centrifugal action to the bottom and are collected into a container or discharged through an airlock.

The fine particles leave the unit through the centre tube. Depending on the quantity these fine particles are then normally discharged from the system or processed through filter media which includes dust collectors. Cyclones are commonly used in woodwork and fabrication workshops along with a large variety of manufacturing plants.

When purchasing a cyclone, consideration must be given to the volume of debris (dust) in the air stream, the type of machines being serviced by the unit, capture hood size and many other elements. Cyclones are available in an array of sizes. To ensure optimum efficiency from your equipment, Inskip Dust & Fume offers extensive knowledge and expertise in making the right choice with you.
