DUO#DustCollect® Centrifugal Dust Collector – Robust Preliminary Separation for Paper Particles and Large Dust Particles
Efficient cyclone separation for high air volumes and coarse particle fractions – reduces filter loading and increases the operational reliability of your extraction system.
When is a centrifugal separator the right choice?
DUO#DustCollect® centrifugal separators are used wherever coarse particles, paper scraps, or large amounts of dust need to be reliably removed from industrial air streams. Especially in corrugated cardboard and paper processing, they serve as robust pre-separators upstream of downstream filter systems.
Due to their purely mechanical operation, cyclone separators exhibit low wear and are ideally suited for applications involving high air volumes and coarse dust fractions. They reduce the load on downstream filter stages, extend maintenance intervals, and contribute to stable, economical plant operation.
Principle of Operation: DUO#DustCollect® Centrifugal Collectors
The DUO#DustCollect® centrifugal collectors operate according to the proven cyclone principle. The dust-laden air stream is fed tangentially into the collector and set in a rotating motion. The resulting centrifugal forces press heavy particles and paper scraps outward against the housing wall and separate them downward into the collection container.
The cleaned air then flows out of the separator through the central air outlet. Since no filter media are used, particle separation is purely mechanical and requires very little maintenance.
This robust operating principle is particularly suitable for coarse dust fractions and high air volumes in industrial extraction systems.
