Choosing Cyclone Sets and Collection Arrangements

A cyclone set includes more than the separator body. Connections, receivers and the supported mill arrangement determine how the complete sample-discharge system works.

01

Can cyclone components be selected independently of the mill?

They need to be checked as a system. Mechanical connections, airflow and collection requirements must be compatible with the intended preparation.

EFFICIENT SAMPLE PREPARATION. MAXIMUM PROCESS CONTROL.

HIGHER THROUGHPUT. LESS HEAT. MAXIMUM RECOVERY RATE.

Cyclone sets are the ideal solution for clean, efficient, and material‑friendly sample discharge in modern sample preparation processes. They ensure highly efficient separation of sample material from the airflow, reliably replacing conventional gravity discharge outlets.

Especially when handling fine, low‑density, or heat‑sensitive materials, the combination of cyclone technology and an external vacuum system enables controlled discharge, reduced thermal stress, and optimized sample recovery, ensuring maximum process reliability and reproducible results.

Product Overview

The four more versatile cyclone sets listed include the following components:

cyclone with lid (including connector for vacuum cleaner) flexible FDA certified hose ( 1,5 m) collecting container (depending on the set) holder for cyclone and container

YOUR BENEFITS AT A GLANCE

Increased sample throughput through active airflow Gentle processing of heat‑sensitive samples Improved separation efficiency, especially for fine and low‑density particles Flexible system integration (standalone machine or multi‑machine configurations) High airtightness ensures maximum process reliability and optimal sample recovery with minimal residue Clean, dust‑free operation for maximum operator safety and an ideal working environment Significantly reduced maintenance intervals thanks to reliable bearing protection, minimizing wear and extending service life Robust steel construction for continuous operation in laboratory and industrial environments

Advantages of the Cyclone Sets

Thanks to its modular design, the cyclone set can be flexibly adapted to a wide range of machine configurations, from a single unit to the combination of two machines. This high level of adaptability makes it a future‑proof solution for evolving and expanding require‑ ments. The flexible hose solution, included in the set, allows variable positioning of the cyclone set either below or next to the machine. This ensures seamless integration into existing laboratory environments. At the same time, the system offers simple and comfortable handling: even if relocation is required, the cyclone set can be repositioned effortlessly. The adjustable steel connection tubing, available as an optional accessory, guarantees a stable, airtight, and precise connection between the machine and the cyclone, even under demanding laboratory conditions. In addition, it is especially robust, durable, and easy to clean, enhancing usability and making it especially suitable for sensitive laboratory envi‑ ronments.

The cyclone set offers efficient material separation, controlled and clean discharge, and improved sample recovery, while lo‑ wering maintenance costs by protecting machine bearings from dust.

Beyond the general advantages of a cyclone, this combination enables pre‑crushing and fine grinding in a single pass, resul‑ ting in increased process efficiency.

Compatibility & Integration

Designed for maximum flexibility, the system seamlessly integrates with a wide range of machines via machine‑specific input and output interfaces. Its modular design enables straightforward retrofitting, allowing existing installations to be upgraded quickly and effi‑ ciently.

Plan the configuration for your material.

Describe the sample and collection objective before specifying a set. A small receiver used for analytical recovery serves a different handling requirement from a larger receptacle. Confirm current mill compatibility and the supplied parts, especially where connecting components must be selected separately.
