Dust Cyclone

Continuous and Economical Particle Separation Using Centrifugal Force

In industrial facilities, the separation of airborne particles from the main flow is critical for both system integrity and raw material quality. The SRD Machine Dust Cyclone is a highly efficient static separator designed specifically to separate dust, straw and other light foreign matter generated in grain processing and cleaning sections.

Principle of Operation

Cyclones operate based on aerodynamic principles (centrifugal effect) with a design containing no moving parts:

Air and Dust Inlet: Dust-laden air, drawn in by an external extractor fan, is forced tangentially into the top of the cyclone.

Centrifugal Separation: The cyclone’s conical structure causes the incoming air to rotate at high speed, creating a vortex. Dust and foreign particles, which are heavier than air, are flung towards the walls by centrifugal force.

Discharge Process: Particles that lose speed upon striking the walls settle downwards under gravity and are discharged without air leakage into the system via the airlock (cell wheel) mounted beneath the cyclone.

Clean Air Outlet: The dust-free, clean air rises through the wide, tubular channel (vortex finder) located at the centre of the cyclone and is directed into the atmosphere or to the filter unit.
