Cyclone

The cyclone is ideal for conveying clean, pelletized to granular materials—whether free of fines or in applications where complete separation isn’t necessary. Cyclonic separation of material and air allows the material to exit from the bottom of the cyclone, while the conveying air is exhausted at the top. When the material is suitable for cyclonic separation, cyclones prove highly effective as filterless pneumatic receivers. This can be a significant advantage in applications where the installation location makes it challenging to maintain cloth-based filters. In cases where a cyclone discharges material into a pneumatic conveying system, a surge hopper should be installed to help prevent material buildup inside the cyclone.

    The cyclone is ideal for conveying clean, pelletized to granular materials—whether free of fines or in applications where complete separation isn’t necessary. Cyclonic separation of material and air allows the material to exit from the bottom of the cyclone, while the conveying air is exhausted at the top. When the material is suitable for cyclonic separation, cyclones prove highly effective as filterless pneumatic receivers. This can be a significant advantage in applications where the installation location makes it challenging to maintain cloth-based filters. In cases where a cyclone discharges material into a pneumatic conveying system, a surge hopper should be installed to help prevent material buildup inside the cyclone.

    The cyclone has no moving parts, no bags to clean, and it doesn’t require plant air or electricity to operate. Cyclone inlet sizes range from 50 to 406 mm [2 to 16 in] in diameter. Flanged discharge diameters span from 100 to 406 mm [4 to 16 in] inside diameter.
    As shown in the illustration on the right, the cyclone contour uses centrifugal forces to separate the material from the gas. The configuration of body dimensions, inlet design, and internal profile maximizes material-to-gas separation efficiency. The internal vortex is generated by the material/gas mixture flowing in tangentially from the downward-facing inlet. Centrifugal forces propel the material toward the outer perimeter of the carefully angled conical section, where it separates from the gas suspension—allowing the material to be discharged while the gas is exhausted.

  • Cyclone efficiencies are directly related to the specific gravity and aerodynamic characteristics of the particle. For simplicity, only the particle size is used to estimate cyclone efficiencies. By analyzing the percentage distribution of particle sizes within a given volume, the average cyclone efficiency can be calculated.
