GPC Cyclone Dust Collector

A member of Aerodyne’s compact and high-efficiency dust collection equipment series. 

The Aerodyne GPC Cyclone Dust Collector represents an improvement over conventional high-efficiency cyclones. Unlike conventional cyclones, the GPC Dust Collector does not require a long, tapered body for effective dust separation. The unique design provides a high-efficiency, compact unit that is available in horizontal or vertical configurations. This compact cyclone dust collector is ideal for facilities with limited floor space or limited overhead clearance. 

The GPC cyclone is available in sizes ranging from a few hundred CFM to over fifty thousand CFM. Of these, the six smallest units (~2,000 CFM max) have internal volumes less than 8ft³. Which in some instances, can be installed indoors on explosive applications, with limited explosion protection devices per NFPA 654.

How a Ground-Plate Cyclone Dust Collector Works

The Aerodyne GPC Dust Collector operates differently. A sloped spiral inlet directs the dirty gas stream toward a fixed ground plate and hopper of the dust collector. The ground plate forces vortex reversal to occur in a much shorter space, eliminating the need for a long, tapered body. As the dirty gas stream strikes the ground plate, fine particulate that has not completely made it to the dust collector walls is deflected into the hopper. The ground plate also shields collected particulate from re-entering during vortex reversal, acting as a barrier between the separation chamber and the collection hopper. This innovative design enables a compact dust collector to operate at high efficiency, even when installed horizontally.
