A cyclone separator is a device that is used for removing impurities and particulate matter. It works in the following ways:
Working of a Cyclone Separator
- Dust-laden air is made to enter the metallic cylinder at a high speed. It has a conical shape.
- As the speed of the air is high, a vortex or a whirlwind mass of the air is created.
- As a result the particulate matter falls to the bottom and the gas moves upwards.
- The particulate matter then slides down the walls of the cylinders and gets discharged from the outlet.
