A cyclone separator is a device used to separate particles from a gas or liquid stream. It works by using centrifugal force to spin the mixture, causing heavier particles to move outward and settle at the bottom, while the cleaner gas or liquid exits from the top. This method is efficient for removing dust, dirt, and other contaminants. These separators are commonly used in various industries, including manufacturing, mining, and air pollution control. They are often part of larger systems, such as dust collection systems, to improve air quality and protect equipment from damage caused by particulate matter.
