Cyclones & Multi-clones

A cyclone operates by imparting a rotational motion to a process gas stream, generating centrifugal force. This force drives particles and dust toward the outer wall of the cyclone. As the gas exits, the momentum of the particles allows them to separate from the gas stream.

Cyclone Basics

Cyclones are an effective solution for removing particulates from process gas streams. Dustex® specializes in the design and manufacture of five distinct cyclone and multi-clone collector types, each engineered to meet the needs of a wide range of industrial applications.

Cyclone Solutions

With over 75 years of expertise, Dustex® provides engineered solutions designed to deliver the highest efficiency with minimal pressure loss. The company’s product line includes:

Dustex® ST Series – High-efficiency single-tube cyclones
Dustex® PC Series – Heavy-duty primary pre-cleaner cyclones
Dustex® ST-10 Series – Steel, high-efficiency multiple-tube cyclones
Dustex® M-40A – Cast aluminum multi-clone
Dustex® Cast Iron Series – Durable cast iron multi-clone

The key features of Cyclones include:

Efficient Particle Removal: Cyclones effectively remove larger particulate matter (PM), such as dust, ash, and coarse particles, from gas streams.

Low Operating Costs: Cyclones have no moving parts, which minimizes maintenance and operational costs. Once installed, they require little upkeep compared to more complex systems like electrostatic precipitators or baghouse filters.

Simple Design and Construction: The straightforward design of our cyclones makes them easy to install, and integrate into industrial processes. This simplicity also contributes to their reliability and durability.

High-Temperature Tolerance: Our cyclones can operate effectively in high-temperature environments, making them suitable for industries like cement production, power generation, and metal processing, where hot exhaust gases are common.

ANDRITZ SIR (Switched Integrated Rectifier) models

The SIR (Switched Integrated Rectifier) reduces the particulate emission level and improves ESP overall performance without the need of costly extensions. ANDRITZ provides a robust and reliable technology with the highest expertise and service capabilities in air pollution control. ANDRITZ now offers a wide range of its advanced high voltage power supplies for electrostatic precipitators.

Hybrid Filters

Hybrid Filter is a combination of ESP and FF with several configurations (in serie and in the same casing (integrated) or in separated casings in serie or in parallel (separated)).

Wet Electrostatic Precipitator (WESP)

As for the dry ESP, the wet ESP uses electrical forces to remove Particulate Matter (PM) from the flue gases. A high voltage source, generating a corona current, charges the PM which migrate to the collecting plate. PM are removed from the plate by flushing water.
