Dust cyclones are mechanical pre-cleaning devices that use centrifugal force to separate larger fractional particles - chips, sawdust, welding spatter and other waste - from the air stream. The cyclone is installed upstream of the filter, significantly reducing the load on the filter and extending its service life. Gram Clean Air CJF series cyclone filters combine the cyclone principle with pulse cleaning, providing a compact and autonomous solution for industrial dust collection.
A cyclone is recommended where dust and chip loads are high and the particles are sufficiently heavy (e.g. metal chips, wood chips, welding spatter). This will prolong filter life and reduce cleaning frequency.
No - a cyclone is a pre-cleaning device that works in conjunction with a filter. It separates the coarser fraction, but the fine fraction and gases pass through the cyclone and are cleaned by a downstream filter.
Pulse cleaning means that the compressed air cleaning is performed automatically on a timer, turning dust off the filter bag without interrupting operation. This ensures continuous suction power and reduces the need for manual maintenance.
Welding and cutting operations generate sparks which, if they enter the filter, can cause a fire or explosion. The FUV spark arrester cools and traps the hot particles in front of the filter, ensuring safe operation even during intensive welding.
The FUV type spark arrestor protects the dust filters from sparks, thereby reducing the risk of fire in the central filter and the pipework. The FUV spark arrestor is equipped with a built-in water trap that fills automatically when the separator is connected to the water supply. This significantly reduces the risk of the filter not having the required water level in the water bath.
