cyclones

Cyclones are recommended for high dust levels.

Industrial dust-collecting equipment has been N.R. Murphy Limited’s specialty for decades. The company’s lineup has something for every work environment, from mild hazards to enormous levels of dust. Sawmills and woodworking shops, for example, require powerful equipment to collect the high amount of dust they spill into the air. N.R Murphy’s cyclones are essential for these workplaces. A cyclone offers a simple, economical way of separating in medium-to-coarse environments.

Useful as primary separators

Customers in all industries use N.R. Murphy cyclones as primary separators that operate ahead of other dust collectors. These cyclones blend centrifugal action with gravity to achieve both dust collection and separation. They are designed and constructed with higher efficiency on small dust particles, on top of more up-to-date requirements.

N.R. Murphy’s line of cyclones comes with a variety of different specifications. The company recommends that customers work with its technical representatives to select the design and construction material that best suit their individual applications, particularly when severe abrasion or corrosion is a risk. To give the N.R. Murphy team an idea of what size is appropriate, it is a good idea to collect a sample of the dust in the environment, as cyclone effectiveness depends on such variables as density, concentration, velocity, and specific gravity.

These cyclones come in three standard construction designs:

  • Chip – Built with a short cone section, these cyclones are best suited for heavy wood chips with minimal fines;
  • High efficiency – From small diameters to larger units, different sizes are available for different capacities;
  • Standard – This is the most common design, available in multiple sizes and recommended for coarse sawdust and shavings or material with few extreme fines. Users can add long cone spirals and skimmers.

These are rugged designs that employ heavy gauge carbon steel, abrasive resistant steel, special alloys, rubber linings, and similar materials. The standard design includes heavy gauge wiped galvanized all-welded construction and painting in one of many available colours.

To enable fast setup at the customer’s worksite, cyclones usually leave N.R. Murphy’s Cambridge, Ont. facility fully assembled.
