Cyclone Dust Collector
A cyclone dust collector is a type of dust removal device. It consists of an inlet pipe, an outlet pipe, a cylindrical body, a conical body, and a hopper. The dust removal mechanism involves forcing the dust-laden airflow into a rotational motion, where centrifugal force separates and captures dust particles on the inner wall. The particles then fall into the hopper under the influence of gravity.

The cyclone dust collector consists of five core components: an inlet pipe, exhaust pipe, cylindrical body, conical hopper, and dust collection chamber. Characterized by its simple structure, this system offers significant advantages in manufacturability, installation, and maintenance, with relatively low capital and operational costs. It has become widely adopted for separating solid/liquid particles from gas streams or solid particles from liquids.
-
Generates centrifugal forces 5-2500 times greater than gravity, enabling significantly higher efficiency than gravity settling chambers
-
Achieves >90% collection efficiency for particles above 5μm in standard configurations
-
Multi-cyclone arrays can capture 80-85% of 3μm particles
-
Operates effectively under extreme conditions (1000°C, 500×10⁵Pa) when constructed with specialized alloys/ceramics
-
Maintains 500-2000Pa pressure drop (optimized for medium-efficiency applications)
Cyclone Dust Collector Working Principle
Cyclone dust collectors separate particles via centrifugal force (5-2500× gravity) generated by high-speed tangential airflow – flinging dust toward the walls for collection while clean gas exits vertically, achieving >90% efficiency for 5μm+ particles.
Advantages of Cyclone Dust Collectors
Cyclone dust collectors offer multiple benefits, including a simple structure, low cost, and easy maintenance. They operate without filter media, reducing running costs, and can handle high-temperature (up to 400°C) and high-concentration dust. With strong corrosion resistance, they suit various industrial environments. Their moderate pressure drop (500-2000 Pa) can be further optimized with resistance-reducing rods. They efficiently capture particles above 5μm (80%-95% efficiency) and can be specially designed for 3μm particles. Compact in size, they fit space-constrained applications. As dry separation systems, they prevent wastewater pollution and are widely used in cement, metallurgy, power generation, and other industries.
Structural Features of the Cyclone Dust Collector
-
Straight-through side chamber: Effectively eliminates the “upper ash ring” phenomenon, preventing clogging.
-
Cylinder-like cone structure: Minimizes the formation of a “lower ash ring,” avoiding the rebound of coarse dust particles in high-wear areas. This enhances service life and dust collection efficiency.
-
Optimized cyclone design: Effectively prevents secondary dust re-entrainment (dust re-scattering).
