They are typically utilized in industrial facilities for the filtration of high temperature gases, where standard cyclones are not sufficiently effective. They offer a highly efficient separation of coarse and fine particulate materials, exceeding the capabilities of standard cyclones. Additionally, they are utilized as pre-separator filters prior to the dust collection unit, similarly to normal cyclones, with the objective of enhancing efficiency. Additionally, they are utilized safely in processes involving high temperatures and where the use of bag filters is cost-prohibitive.
These cyclones are typically effective at retaining dust particles of 50 microns and above, but their ability to retain particles below 50 microns is limited. Dust particles below 0 to 20 microns insize are typically captured by bag filters, which are used to collect the remaining dust particles that have been retained by the cyclone.

HOW IT WORK
The contaminated gas is directed into the mini cyclone group, which is located within the cyclone inlet. The mini cyclones are designed with a helical flow form that directs coarse particles with high density to the cyclone walls by centrifugal force. The coarse particles, which lose their inertia due to the sudden speed change inside the cyclone, are filtered through the cyclone wall and poured into the conical collection hopper below. These cyclones retain dust at a rate of approximately 85-90%, depending on particle size. Dust escaping from the cyclone is discharged from the upper part of the mini cyclones through the outlet pipe in the center. As the exhausted air contains fine dust particles, wet-type scrubber units or dry-type bag jet filter units are employed to retain these particles.
