Carbatec CDC-850P 2-stage Cyclone Dust Collector

A cyclone dust collector works very differently from a traditional bagged type collector. This professional model has many features found on larger industrial units but with a far smaller footprint. It is designed to power smaller workshop collection systems while still being mobile enough to move from machine to machine if you prefer. The included remote control will allow you to switch your collector on/off or switch it on for a set period. We have also included the unique choice of a bag, or bagless collection system.  Reusable plastic bags in your collection drum are quick and convenient for waste disposal, but they become waste themselves at some point. Mindful of our impact on the planet, we have designed our cyclone collector to run with or without these collection bags. Simply remove the integrated bag retention system and utilise the mobile drum itself as your collector.

A cyclone has separate impeller housing attached to the top of a cone-shaped funnel.  The sole purpose of the impeller is to create a high-volume airflow, which is drawn through the cone, creating a higher-pressure vortex (or cyclone) of incoming air. This fast-spinning air within the funnel separates the heavier wood chips and large dust particles from the fine dust, causing them to drop into the collection drum below (Stage 1). The very fine dust and the clean air pass through or are collected by a very fine, pleated cartridge filter (Stage 2). This two-stage process of separating the material reduces the rate at which the filter will clog up. This reduced clogging allows more air through the collector system.

Our standard cyclones are highly efficient at removing dust particles down as fine as 1 micron; in fact, 99% efficient! Another advantage of this design is that the wood chips don't come into contact with the impeller (which would normally disrupt the airflow, dropping efficiency). This means that cyclones are often rated at lower CFMs (compared to traditional collectors), but the actual airflow and pressure in the dust network are kept running at their maximum for much longer.  



INTENDED USE:
This dust collector only intends to collect wood dust and chips from woodworking machines. Do not use this dust collector to collect metal, dirt, pebbles, drywall, asbestos, lead paint, silica, liquids, aerosols, or any flammable, combustible, or hazardous materials.   

 
The diameter of the hose and the complexity of your dust network can directly influence the performance of your dust collection system. Hoses that are too small in diameter or too abruptly reduced from a large diameter can result in poor airflow and potential blockages. Flexible hoses that are run over long distances will also result in poor airflow, and dust can build up in the hoses.  Changing hose sizes and lengths (increase or decrease) affects system airflow and static pressure in different ways. Changing corrugated or flexible hose to smooth rigid ducting will positively affect airflow efficiency.

Consider one or all of these improvements:

• Shortening and limiting the runs of flexible hose (in favour of rigid ducting) can reduce your loss in airflow. 
• Alter the layout of your workshop so the heavy waste producers are closer to your collector.
• Step down your hose diameters gradually and further away from the collector. This keeps a good balance between airflow and pressure. 
• Avoid increasing hose diameters, as airflow, and pressure are both reduced.
