DUST CYCLONES
DUST CYCLONES
Envirovent Dust Cyclones are simple, robust dust collectors with no moving parts that efficiently separate particulate matter from gas streams using centrifugal force. They are widely used for product recovery, primary dust collection and coarse particulate separation across a broad range of industrial applications. They are particularly well suited to high-temperature and high-pressure process applications requiring robust, low-maintenance separation.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Dust-laden gas enters the cyclone tangentially, creating a high-velocity spiral vortex within the cylindrical body. Centrifugal forces separate the dust particles from the gas stream, causing them to move towards the cyclone wall before falling into the collection hopper.
The cleaned gas exits through the outlet tube, while the collected dust is continuously discharged through a rotary vane feeder, double flap valve or other suitable discharge device.
The discharge system should operate continuously to prevent dust accumulation within the hopper. Hopper level switches may be installed to monitor the collected material and provide an indication of excessive dust build-up, allowing corrective action to be taken before cyclone performance is affected.
TYPICAL PERFORMANCE
Envirovent Dust Cyclones are proven high-efficiency cyclone separators designed for reliable coarse particulate collection and product recovery. They achieve collection efficiencies exceeding 99% with a system pressure loss of approximately 1.5 kPa, depending on particle size and operating conditions.
Dust Cyclones are ideally suited as primary collectors for coarse particulate collection and dry product recovery, reducing dust loading on downstream filtration equipment and improving overall system efficiency.
