The Aerodyne GPC Cyclone Dust Collector represents an improvement over conventional high-efficiency cyclones. Cyclonic action is initiated by a sloped spiral inlet and vortex reversal is accomplished by the use of a solid ground plate. The unique design of the GPC Cyclone Dust Collector provides a high-efficiency, compact unit that is available in horizontal or vertical configurations.
• High efficiency dust collection equipment
• Compact size
• Horizontal or vertical configurations
• Ideal for limited spaces
Unlike conventional cyclones, the GPC Dust Collector does not require a long, tapered body for effective dust separation. This compact cyclone dust collector is ideal for plants and workshops with limited floor space or limited overhead clearance.

How a Typical Cyclone Dust Collector Works
The typical cyclone dust collector consists of a tangential inlet and a long, tapered body. This design relies on gravitational forces to direct the dirty gas stream downward. As the gas stream becomes constrained in the narrow end of the cyclone body, a phenomenon known as "vortex reversal" occurs, in which a secondary inner vortex is generated and moves upward through the center of the primary vortex, where it is exhausted from the dust collection equipment.

As the inner vortex travels up through the cyclone, it takes with it any fine dust particulate that did not have the inertia to be forced tightly against the collector walls. The long body of a high-efficiency cyclone gives fine particulate more time to make it safely to the walls of the dust collector. While this added length boosts efficiency, it adds to installation space requirements and cost.
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 convex 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 the forces of the 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.
