As dirty air enters the cyclo dust collector, it is forced into a swirling movement. This results in a centrifugal force acting on the dust particles suspended in the air stream.
The particles, denser than air, are forced to move outwards, towards the cyclo dust collector wall. Waste is blown into the cyclo filter chamber and 95% of the material is cyclonically separated before even reaching the filter. Air passes through the filtration element leaving the remaining 5% of the particulate to cake on the outside of the filter tubes.
At a preset pressure drop, a short burst of compressed air is released down the inside of each filter sleeve, in the opposite direction to the travel of extraction air-flow, to dislodge all accumulated dust cake.
The Dustrax Cyclo Filter unit combines the technologies of a cyclone with that of the reverse pulse filter. This type of unit is generally used for medium to large wood waste or grain extraction systems.
The cyclo filter is very robust having been fabricated in 3mm thick steel plate to last a virtual working lifetime. The filter is guaranteed to run continuously and has a filter bag life guarantee of 6,000 hours or 3 years. It also has an emission guarantee of 0.2mg/m3 which is exceedingly low and falls in line with the European legislation.
We offer an extensive range of industrial dust extraction units and fume extraction systems for many different industries and applications. We also offer a comprehensive range of dust extraction units for schools and colleges.
Our dust extraction units can remove particles from the workplace for a wide range of materials such as wood, metal, chemicals and composites. Our bespoke units range from stand alone dust extraction systems for one machine, to large bag filters for intermittent use.
Dustraction has been the wood waste extraction supplier of choice at SAM Mouldings in Antrim for well over a decade and has helped Europe’s leading manufacturer of architectural mouldings in MDF to win some very significant environmental protection accolades in the battle for the environment.
Most recently, a new 80 m3 storage silo, the fourth on the eight acre site, was installed by Dustraction to take and to store the MDF waste from an existing but relocated cyclo filter.
