Cyclone Separators

Cyclone separators and centrifugal separators utilize centrifugal, gravitational, and inertial forces to remove fine particles suspended in air or gas. This type of separator uses cyclonic action to separate particulate from a gas stream. Typically, dust enters cyclone separators and centrifugal separators at an angle, and is then spun rapidly. A centrifugal force is created by the circular airflow, and throws the particulate towards the wall of the cyclone. Once they hit the wall, the particulate falls into a hopper below. Dusty exhaust is either blown out, or filtered again.
