Cyclone Separator

Essentially the function of a cyclone separator is to remove the majority of the dust and debris from the air stream that carries it. It does this by introducing the dust filled air to the cyclone chamber via an inlet mounted tangentially to the cylinder at the top. This causes the air and dust to circulate around the outside of the container, and as such centrifugal forces keeps the particulate matter to the outside edges. The cyclone profile forces the air stream and dust particles down into the conical shaped container where the cone shape creates a cyclone with higher centrifugal air speed. This higher air speeds in the cone will throw the dust particles, both large and small, off to the side and the clean air is vented out.
