Cleantek cyclone dust collectors use centrifugal force to remove larger and coarser particles from the air stream. As dust-laden air enters the cyclone chamber, it is forced into a circular path. The heavier dust particles are flung outward by the spinning motion, dropping into a bottom hopper, while the cleaner air moves upward to the next filtration stage. This pre-filtration step protects your main filtration systems—like baghouses or cartridge filters—by significantly reducing the dust load, increasing their lifespan and efficiency.
