What is a Cyclone Dust Collector

What is a Cyclone Dust Collector

Cyclone Dust Collector Core Working Principle

1. The dusty gas enters the cyclone chamber tangentially at high speed along the inlet pipe, forming a strong rotating airflow (cyclone).
2. Under the action of centrifugal force, solid particles with higher density are thrown to the inner wall of the cyclone chamber.
3. The particles slide down the wall under gravity and are discharged through the ash hopper at the bottom.
4. The purified gas (with most particles removed) forms an upward spiral airflow in the center of the cyclone, and is discharged through the exhaust pipe at the top.

Cyclone Dust Collector Key Components

• Inlet Pipe: Guides dusty gas to enter the cyclone chamber tangentially, creating rotational airflow.
• Cyclone Chamber: The main body where gas rotates and particles are separated, usually in a cylindrical or cone-cylindrical shape.
• Exhaust Pipe (Vortex Finder): Located at the top center, it discharges purified gas and prevents particles from being carried out again.
• Ash Hopper: Installed at the bottom of the cyclone chamber, it collects and discharges the separated particles.
• Valve (Optional): Equipped at the bottom of the ash hopper (e.g., star-shaped discharge valve) to ensure airtightness while discharging ash.

Cyclone Dust Collector Advantages & Disadvantages

Cyclone Dust Collector Typical Applications

• Mining Industry: Collect dust generated during ore crushing, screening, and transportation.
• Metallurgical Industry: Treat smoke and dust from blast furnaces, steelmaking, and sintering processes.
• Building Materials Industry: Remove dust from cement production, stone processing, and ceramic manufacturing.
• Chemical Industry: Separate solid particles from chemical reaction exhaust gas or material conveying gas.
• Food & Pharmaceutical Industry: Collect light powder materials (e.g., flour, pharmaceutical powder), usually as a pre-treatment device.
