Key Information
- High efficiency design capturing 90 – 99.9%
- Prevents blinding and replacement of expensive filters in central dust extraction system or vacuum cleaner
- Improved batch reconciliation and yields
- Almost zero maintenance costs with no moving parts or filters
- Recovered powder can be reintroduced – minimising material loss and saving money
We have successfully installed our cyclone to Fette, Manesty, Korsch, Zanasi, Bosch, Kilian and numerous other process machines. Where required, the cyclone can incorporate a manifold for connection to ancillary equipment such as tablet dedusters or capsule polishers.
The Uni-Dust 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 (where protocol permits).
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 catchpot 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 HEPA 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.
