Why Cleantek Cyclone Pre-Separators Are Essential for Industrial Dust Collection

Efficient Dust Control with Cleantek Cyclone Pre-Separators

Cyclone Pre-Separators play a critical role in industrial dust management systems, particularly in environments with high dust volumes. At Cleantek, we design and manufacture robust, modular Cyclone Pre-Separators that offer outstanding protection for your downstream filtration systems such as cartridge filters, bag filters, or electrostatic precipitators.

What Is a Cyclone Pre-Separator?

A cyclone pre-separator, also known as a cyclone dust collector or precleaner, is a mechanical device that uses centrifugal force to separate large, coarse particles from a dust-laden airstream. It acts as the first stage in a dust collection system, capturing up to 90% of heavy particulates before the air reaches the main filtration unit. This drastically reduces the load on fine filters and prolongs their lifespan.

How Does It Work?

The process begins when the dust-filled air enters the cyclone housing tangentially in the upper third of the unit. This design creates a spiral, tornado-like airflow inside the cylindrical body. As the air spins, heavier particles are flung outward by centrifugal force and fall into a collection container at the bottom of the unit. Meanwhile, the purified air is directed upward through a central immersion tube, continuing to the next filtration stage.

To maintain optimal performance, the collection container should be emptied before it reaches 75% capacity, preventing fine particles from re-entering the airflow.

Advantages of Cleantek Cyclone Pre-Separators
