CYCLONE SEPARATION

The ALP-UHES-05080 Cyclone is designed for very small particle separation. Its unique design, which combines three small particle separation cyclones, ensures the ability to reach up to 99% efficiency when using particles as small as 50 microns. Where required, the cyclone can incorporate a manifold for connection to ancillary equipment such as tablet de-dusters or capsule polishers. It cyclone is proven to be equally effective in numerous other applications including sachet filling, spray drying, inhalation and any other process where excess dust is extracted. The captured waste material can be used for batch loss reconciliation, or even reintroduced to the process.

The cyclone connects to the process machinery via flexible hose or stainless steel pipework (multiple lines can be accommodated using a manifold). Inside the cyclone, vortex separation causes the solid particles to hit the outside wall of the cyclone and fall to the catch at the base of the cyclone. This allows ?clean? air to pass downstream (to the dust extraction source) and prevents a build-up of material in the filters, which can be time consuming and expensive to replace. For additional security, a filter can be integrated after the cyclone and before the vacuum source.

The cyclone can be retrofitted to your existing dust extraction line, or can be supplied with a side channel blower to provide a dedicated vacuum source.The cyclone features a crevice-free, stainless steel construction, enabling the unit to be mounted inside the process room. The cyclone is assembled using Tri-Clamps for fast and easy dismantling for cleaning and has no moving parts ? therefore generating no mechanical noise.
