How important is an inline cyclone before the filters?
We believe it is very important. Mistakes happen, hoppers get overfilled. If this happens, grit can come in direct contact with bags or cartridges and cause premature failure. If a cyclone exists before the filters, it will catch the grit and give you some time to correct the mistake. In normal operation, an inline cyclone will reduce the load on dust on the filters which extends their life. At Advantage SPS, we like to think of the cyclone as a “safety hopper” that protects and filters from direct contact with dust and grit particles.
