The key role of cyclone dust collectors before cartridge dust collectors

Cyclone dust collectors are primary dust collection devices, typically used in conjunction with cartridge dust collectors, installed before the cartridge dust collector. When handling large volumes of dust or dust containing large particles, they are used in conjunction with cyclone dust collectors to pre-treat the dust, reducing the pressure on the cartridge dust collector. Cyclone dust collectors generally have a dust removal efficiency of around 80%. Therefore, a cyclone dust collector alone cannot meet environmental protection requirements. To meet these requirements, it is necessary to use it in conjunction with a cartridge dust collector.

The function of cyclone dust collector

1.Pre filtration and separation of large dust particles

Cyclone dust collectors use the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of airflow to separate large dust particles from dusty gas. These large dust particles are thrown against the outer wall by centrifugal force and fall down the wall into the dust hopper, thus reducing the dust load entering the cartridge dust collector.

2.Protective cartridge dust collector

Pre-treatment by a cyclone dust collector can remove most large dust particles, reducing the filtration load on the cartridge dust collector and extending its service life.

Furthermore, the cyclone dust collector can cool and separate high-temperature fume dust or sparking dust before entering the cartridge dust collector, effectively preventing damage to the filter cartridges due to high temperatures or sparks.

3.Improve dust removal efficiency

Combining a cyclone dust collector with a cartridge dust collector can improve overall dust removal efficiency.

A cyclone dust collector can remove approximately 80% of dust, especially large particles, reducing the processing burden on the cartridge dust collector and allowing it to more effectively handle the remaining fine dust, thereby achieving higher emission standards.

4.Cooling and safety protection

For high-temperature or sparking dust, cyclone dust collectors can cool it down through physical rotation, preventing high-temperature dust from directly entering the cartridge dust collector, thus protecting the equipment and preventing accidents such as fires.
