Cyclone dust collector is a simple and affordable dust removal equipment. Cyclones are commonly used in grain and woodworking equipment for fibrous dust, and are very low-failure dust collectors that do not require compressed air for cleaning. When the dust size exceeds 20 microns, the cyclone can achieve high dust collection efficiency. Cyclones are often used as pre-filtration systems to reduce the dust load on downstream baghouses and cartridge collectors. Cyclones can reduce the wear and tear of bags and cartridges, thereby reducing the associated maintenance and repair costs of baghouses. The cyclone dust collector can be used to collect most of the saleable products, while the fine powder is carried out through the bag filter. Cyclones are relatively simple in construction and usually have no moving parts. They basically consist of six parts: an inlet vortex section, a conical housing, an inner vortex tube, an ash hopper or ash silo and an optional vortex gas outlet.
The cyclone dust collector moves through centrifugal force, and the dust-laden air enters the vortex inlet, which quickly forms a cyclone movement. Vortex currents in the dust chamber throw dust particles from the air stream against the enclosure wall, separating them from the air stream. The cleaned gases and fine particles are then discharged through the internal vortex tubes.
There are many factors to consider when purchasing a cyclone to meet industrial production, and here are 5 factors to prioritize.
First, the most important consideration is to eliminate the health effects of dust in the workplace. Once dust spreads through the air, dust and particulate matter can cause many health effects on those who come into contact with them. Fine dust particles from a combination of chemicals in various materials such as metal, wood, silica, and minerals can cause respiratory problems, poisoning, allergic reactions, and certain cancers. If a cyclone can meet budget needs, it can greatly improve the working conditions of employees.
2. The size of the required cyclone dust collector is proportional to the amount of airflow required to capture and transport particulate matter. A dust control assessment of equipment can help determine the size and type of cyclone collector required. How big is the particulate pollutant to be collected?Does the filtered air have to be discharged or returned to the production area?Does the dust only occur in a specific process, or does it continue to be generated?Such an assessment will help you select the cyclone that meets your needs.
3. The upfront cost of a cyclone dust collector may be lower than that of a bag filter, but can it meet the long-term dust collection efficiency needs of the facility?With only one cyclone, the pressure drop across the system will be lower than that of the cyclone + bag filter, resulting in long-term energy savings by reducing the fan size. If you want a higher emission standard, you need to weigh the cost of retrofitting and upgrading if you can't meet the emission requirements.
4. The cyclone dust collector can effectively remove large particulate matter (more than 10 to 20 microns in diameter). If larger particles are collected (e.g. 200 mesh), a stand-alone cyclone dust collector may be fully sufficient. When the contaminant is less than 10 microns in diameter, the cyclone can act as a "pre-cleaner" for the baghouse by reducing the dust load and pre-filtering the coarser dust. System footprint.
Fifth, the installation location of the cyclone dust collector should be considered. The stand-alone cyclone dust collector is a compact, efficient, and cost-effective dust collector. However, if a downstream collector is also required in the dust collection system, a larger footprint is required. Cyclones and baghouses create two separate dust discharge points, complicating the entire dust collection system.
