Cyclone separators are devices used to remove particulates from an air, gas, or liquid stream through vortex separation, without the use of filters. They work by creating a spiralling flow pattern that forces particles against the outer walls of the cyclone, causing them to separate and settle at the bottom for removal. Cyclonic separation is effective in reducing dust and other fine particulate matter from industrial processes and can remove between 50-99% of particulate matter in flue gas. The efficiency of cyclone separators depends on factors such as particle size, gas velocity, and the design of the cyclone itself. These separators find applications in various industries such as manufacturing, chemical processing, and air quality control. They are preferred for their low cost, ease of maintenance, and high throughput capacity.
