Cyclone Interceptor Head

INTRODUCTION
2
This is a stand-alone, unpowered cyclone dust
collector/interceptor. It uses the cyclone head from
the AW118CE Cyclone Dust Extractor. It is designed
to be used with a standard High Volume Low
Pressure (HVLP) chip extractor to provide the airflow.
Using this interceptor, you can create a wood dust
and chip extractor which will handle even fine dusts
from drum sanders. You can either use this unit
to upgrade your current workshop chip extraction
system (with the typical bag filter) or place this unit
next to a drum or belt sander to intercept the fine
dust before the air stream reaches the chip
extractor.
It has a generous 118 litre waste bin, and castors to
allow easy mobility around the workshop.
It is fitted with 102mm inlet and outlets, which suits
many common woodworking machines. We
recommend using a chip extractor with at least a
1.5hp motor, such as the AW82E.

This is just the Cyclone body unit only, with 102mm
inlet and outlets with a flange mounting on the
bottom to allow you to use your own waste
container. This gives great flexibility of choice, size
and mounting position within the workshop. We
recommend using a chip extractor with at least a
1.5hp (1.1kW) motor,1,000 m3/hr air flow.

Building a Waste Container
Once you have the interceptor head mounted
onto your waste container, it is just a matter of
connection. This is simplicity itself, just an inlet
connection from the dust producing machine (A)
and an outlet (B) to the air volume source, typically
a (HVLP) chip extractor.
In use, you should expect around 90-97%
separation of the wood waste from the air stream,
in simple terms the amount of waste reaching the
chip extractor will be a small fraction of the waste
produced.

To use, you will need to build a waste container to
suit your application, making sure that it is air tight,
and can be emptied easily. These are commonly
made from 12mm plywood. An alternative container
can be made by using an open metal or plastic
container and manufacturing a suitable air tight lid.
Be careful not to make too large a container, think
of the weight involved in emptying it of wood waste.
The cyclone will need to be mounted onto the lid,
so make sure that the lid is strong enough to take
the weight. Use an appropriate sealer between the
interceptor flange and container lid.
