Most industries have problems collecting, eliminating or recovering dust or particles suspended in air currents or gases generated in industrial processes.

These problems are usually of three types:

1. Separation of dust in the air or gas flow of pneumatic transport equipments, grinding installations, pulverization, dryers, etc., etc.

2. Collection or purification of suspended materials in order to avoid air pollution or due to their valuable condition.

3. Collecting of floating cinders in solid fuel boilers. (Power stations, cement factories, foundries, sintering plants, industrial ventilation, catalyst recirculation in cracking turrets,, etc.).

GRUBER cyclones are characterized by their high efficiency in solving the above mentioned problems.

 The funcional principle of the cyclone is based on air or gas currents, mixed with product in suspension, entering the cyclone tengentially and adquiring a circular movement in which the largest particles are hurled against the walls and then fall towards the lower unloading outlet.

Purified air or gases, free from particles, pass out of the vertical shaft.

Though there are formulae for cyclone calculation under ideal working conditions, in practice, the complexity of the flow of fluids, and the high degree of turbuence, prevent these theoretical equations being used.

Nevertheless, several practical conclusions can be drawn by qualitative interpretation of aerodynamic measurements through fluid movement equations.

In this way, extraordinary high efficiency is obtained which means that the degree of selectivity for each particle size is guaranteed.

GRUBER HERMANOS has supplied hundred of units for different industrial applications, all of which are working to the complete satisfaction of the customers. Stated guarantees have been always fulfilled.
