Cyclones – Efficient separation before final filtration

Cyclone separators remove larger dust particles from the air stream using centrifugal force, without filter media. They are a robust solution for pre-separation, pneumatic conveying and processes with high material loads.

ABOUT CYCLONES

What are cyclone separators and when should you use them?

Cyclone separators use centrifugal force to separate solid particles from an air stream. Contaminated air enters the cyclone tangentially, creating a rotating flow that drives heavier particles toward the outer wall and down into the discharge section.

They are commonly used as primary separators ahead of a bag or cartridge filter, or as part of pneumatic conveying systems where larger quantities of dry material need to be removed before final filtration. Tehno Filter’s CTF UNI and CTF VIS ranges are intended for dry, free-flowing dust and can operate as primary separators or pre-separation stages.

Why use a cyclone?

By removing a significant portion of larger particles before they reach the main filter, a cyclone can reduce the material load on downstream filtration equipment. Its simple mechanical principle also means there are no filter bags or cartridges inside the cyclone itself, making it particularly suitable for applications with continuous dust and material flow.

APPLICATIONS

Where cyclone separators are used

Cyclones are particularly effective where larger quantities of dry particulate need to be separated continuously before final filtration or material handling.

WOOD PROCESSING

Pre-separation of sawdust, chips and larger wood particles in extraction and pneumatic conveying systems.

PNEUMATIC CONVEYING

Separation of transported material from the conveying air stream before discharge or further processing.

FOOD & FEED PROCESSING

Separation of free-flowing particulate generated during handling, conveying and processing operations.

METAL PROCESSING

Pre-separation of heavier dry particles before the air reaches the final filtration stage.

MINERAL & PROCESS INDUSTRIES

Robust separation for applications where significant quantities of particulate are continuously transported.

CENTRAL EXTRACTION SYSTEMS

Installed ahead of bag filters to reduce the incoming dust load and support more stable system operation.

WHY TEHNO FILTER CYCLONES

Built for continuous industrial separation

ROBUST CONSTRUCTION

Simple, durable construction makes cyclone separators suitable for continuous material and dust handling.

NO FILTER MEDIA

Particles are separated through centrifugal force, without bags or cartridges inside the cyclone.

LOWER DOWNSTREAM LOAD

Removing larger particles before final filtration reduces the amount of material reaching the main filter.

SYSTEM INTEGRATION

Cyclones can be integrated with ducting, filters, rotary valves, silos and pneumatic conveying equipment as part of a complete extraction system.
