By utilizing a cyclone separator it is easier to control chips and dust in the shop environment. A large portion of chips and sawdust will be directed into the vessel you have mounted the cyclone on and much cleaner air will move on to your dust collector. This will not only make it unnecessary to empty your dust collector as often, but also keep the filter bags on your dust collector much cleaner so they work more efficiently.

The following quote is from an individual who has been following this site. " I ran your cyclone design through my cyclone design program and came up with the following theoretical particle size removal efficiencies ( assuming common softwood and 350 cfm fan input - i.e. about what you could expect with a 1 HP dust collector and 4" flex pipe. ) Particle size < 10 micron = 5 - 10%,; particle size 20 - 50 microns = 60 - 70%; particle size 100 - 200 microns = > 95%; particle size 200 - 300 microns > 99%. For reference 100 microns equals about 0.004 inches. This is a very good design."

Sales of the cyclones has been very good. As a result I am increasing production significantly to meet the tremendous demand.
