What maintenance does a Cyclone System need?
Cyclone systems are typically low-maintenance, but performance depends on keeping the unit sealed, the hopper emptied, and the ducting free from blockages.
Routine checks
- Inspect inlet and outlet duct joints for air leaks
- Check hopper level and empty dust bin on schedule
- Observe pressure drop changes to detect blockages
Air leakage at the hopper can reduce separation performance significantly.
Wear & housekeeping
- Inspect cyclone wall/inlet for abrasion in abrasive service
- Maintain rotary valve/airlock seals (if installed)
- Ensure access doors and inspection ports are sealed
For abrasive dust, wear liners can be considered to extend service life.
