Cyclone

separator.

MGXG
Excellent dust separation.
High operating reliability.

Application.
Centrifugal separators (cyclones) have proven to be
particularly efficient for separating dust from gas
streams. The MGXG cyclone is a centrifugal separator
satisfying the most stringent industrial requirements.

Mode of operation.
The untreated gas laden with dust particles flows
tangentially through the inlet into the cylindrical section
of the cyclone. The stream of untreated gas is deflected
into a rotating stream, causing the dust particles to be
carried outward against the cyclone wall by the resulting
centrifugal forces. The gas flowing in from behind creates
a vortex. The dust particles flow as a downward spiral
toward the coarse material outlet and are discharged
through an airlock. The vortex in the core of the cyclone
reverses its direction above the coarse material outlet,
exiting from the cyclone through the top central immersed
spout as clean gas that is essentially free from dust.

Design versions.
The cyclone wall of the MGXG standard version consists
of steel and is made up of a cylindrical upper section and
a cone-shaped bottom section. For heavy-duty applica-
tions and in the presence of particularly abrasive dust
particles, the inlet spout and the walls of the upper section
are reinforced with chromium steel.

Benefits.
– High separating efficiency
– High operating reliability
– Top sanitation
