SDC Cyclone Dust Collectors

Separate suitable particles from air using centrifugal action.

Cyclone Dust Collectors for your process

Separate suitable particles from air using centrifugal action.

SDC cyclones separate entrained solids as the gas stream rotates inside the collector. They provide a dry separation option without fabric filter media and may be used where the particle distribution and required collection duty suit centrifugal separation.

Example: Remove a coarse dust fraction before a downstream filtration stage.

Also known as: Centrifugal dust separators, cyclone separators, dry pre-separators.

Review the particle distribution

larger and denser particles generally separate differently from fine dust.

Plan the solids outlet

the discharge arrangement must suit pressure and material handling.

Check the complete duty

a cyclone does not automatically meet fine-particle outlet requirements.

How It Works

1

Introduce the particle-laden gas

2

Rotate the stream to separate solids

3

Discharge solids and route the cleaned gas

Typical Materials & Industries

Coarse process dust

suitable for evaluation as a dry separation duty.

Wood or granular fines

particle density and distribution affect collection.

Industrial conveying

review airflow variation and downstream collection needs.

Application & Process Context

Airflow, dust loading and characteristics, temperature, moisture, available compressed air, operating hours, discharge arrangement, and any combustible-dust hazards.

Baghouse Dust Collectors

Filter with bags

Baghouse Dust Collectors >>

Filter dust-laden air through fabric bags and clean the filter surface.

Example: Collect process dust where fabric filter media and accessible bag maintenance suit the duty.

Also known as: Fabric filter collectors, pulse-jet baghouses, SDC SPJ collectors.

Cartridge Dust Collectors

Filter with cartridges

Cartridge Dust Collectors >>

Use pleated filters to collect suitable process dust.

Example: Collect a suitable dry process dust where cartridge service space fits the installation.

Also known as: Pleated-filter collectors, cartridge filtration units, SDC LP collectors.

Bin Vent Collectors

Vent a storage bin

Bin Vent Collectors >>

Filter air displaced when a bin or silo is filled.

Example: Filter displaced air during pneumatic filling of a silo.

Also known as: Silo vent filters, bin vents, low-profile bin vent collectors.

Filter Receivers

Receive conveyed solids

Filter Receivers >>

Separate conveyed solids from the conveying air at a receiving point.

Example: Receive a pneumatically conveyed ingredient and separate it from the conveying air.

Also known as: Pneumatic filter receivers, conveying receivers, filtered receiving vessels.

Baghouse Cleaning Retrofits

Improve filter cleaning

Baghouse Cleaning Retrofits >>

Assess whether an existing pulse-jet baghouse can be improved.

Example: Review a baghouse with high differential pressure and inadequate pulse cleaning.

Also known as: Pulse-jet cleaning retrofits, baghouse cleaning upgrades, SDC cleaning conversions.
