Cyclone Dust Collector

Cyclone separators typically separate about 99% of dust particles larger than 10 microns from the air stream and deposit them into a collection bin before the air reaches a filter.

This reduces how often a shop vacuum or dust collector filter must be cleaned, which has made cyclone separators a common workshop accessory.

Cyclone separators are one of four common filtration approaches, alongside filters, wet collectors and electrostatic precipitators. Filters can remove particles down to 0.3 microns, while wet filters require more frequent maintenance and raise humidity.
