Cyclone from the barrel with their own hands. Forumhouse experience. Cyclone filter with your own hands. C1 Filter for vacuum cleaner from bucket

Wood has always been considered an eco-friendly and safe material. Small wood dust formed during the processing of a wooden billet is not so harmless as it may seem. Its inhalation does not contribute to the saturation of the body with useful trace elements. I am accumulating in the lungs and upper respiratory tract (and wood dust is not processed by the body), it slowly, but efficiently destroys the respiratory system. Large chips constantly accumulates near the machines and working instruments. It is better to clean it right away, without waiting for the appearance of insurmountable dawns in the joiner's space.

In order to maintain the necessary level of cleanliness in the home carpentry, you can buy a expensive exhaust system consisting of a powerful fan, cyclone, chips, containers for chips and auxiliary elements. But the users of our portal are not from those who are used to buying what can be done with their own hands. Using their experience, anyone can assemble the exhaust system, the power of which will correspond to the needs of a small homemade workshop.

Vacuum cleaner

Chipotto with the use of an ordinary household vacuum cleaner - the most a budget option Of all existing solutions. And if you manage to engage in the work of your old helper for cleaning, which has not yet been thrown out of pity, it means that you have searched for you a good service.

My vacuum cleaner is more than fifty years (Mark - "Uralets"). It is completely coping with the role of chips. He is only heavy, as my sins, but knows how to suck not only, but also blow. Sometimes I use this opportunity.

The household vacuum cleaner itself, mounted on an honorable place in the workshop as a chips, will be useless. And the main reason is too small, the volume of the bag (container) for dust collection. That is why there must be an additional node of the exhaust system, consisting of a cyclone and a volumetric sealing tank for collecting sawdust.

SAMI simple installation – Vacuum cleaner and cyclone. And, the vacuum cleaner can use the most homely. Instead of cyclone (cylindrical cone), you can use the separation lid.

Vacuum cleaner for sawdust do it yourself

The scheme of the chip covers considered by us is extremely simple.

The device consists of two main modules: cyclone (pos. 1) and chip container (pos. 2). The principle of its work is as follows: With the help of a vacuum cleaner in the cyclone chamber, there is a vacuum. Due to the pressure difference inside and outside the sawdust device, along with air and dust enter the internal cavity of the cyclone. Here, under the action of the inertia and severity forces, mechanical suspension is separated from the air flow and fall into the lower capacity.

Consider the design of the device in more detail.

Cyclone

Cyclone can be made as a lid, which is installed on top of the storage capacity, and you can simply combine these two modules. To begin with, we consider the second option - the cyclone, made in the case of the chip container.

First of all, we should purchase a reservoir with a suitable volume.

ForceUser user Forumhouse,
Moscow.

Capacity - 65 liters. I took according to the principle - we need volume and convenience during carrying a filled container. This barrel has handles, which is very convenient for cleaning it.

Here is a list of additional elements and materials that we need to collect the device:

• Screws, washers and nuts - for mounting the inlet;
• Segment of the sewer tube with cuffs;
• Transitional coupling (from the sewer pipe to the suction pipe of the vacuum cleaner);
• Pistol with mounting glue.

Vacuum cleaner from the barrel do it yourself: the sequence of assembly

First of all, a hole is done in the sidewall of the tank under the inlet nozzle, which will be located on the tangent of the case. The figure shows a view from the outdoor side of the reservoir.

The nozzle is advisable to install in the upper part of the plastic barrel. This will make it possible to achieve the maximum degree of cleaning.

From the inside the inlet nozzle is as follows.

The slots between the pipe and the walls of the reservoir should be pouring the mounting sealant.

At the next stage, we do a hole in the lid, insert the transition clutch there and thoroughly seal all the slots around the nozzle. Ultimately, the design of the chips will have the following form.

The vacuum cleaner is connected to the upper output of the device, and the nozzle, which takes place the chips from the machine, is in the side pipe.

As we see, the design presented is not equipped with additional filters, which is not strongly reflected on the quality of air purification.

den_61 User forumhouse.

Made a chip-beam based on the topic. As the basis of the vacuum cleaner "Rocket" with a capacity of 400 W and a barrel of 100 liters. After assembling the unit, tests were successfully carried out. Everything works as it should: sawdust - in barrel, the bag of the vacuum cleaner is empty. So far, the dust collector is connected only to the milling.

Whatever it was, but a certain percentage of wood dust cyclone can still be delayed. And in order to bring the degree of cleaning to a maximum, some users of our portal are thinking about the need to install an additional fine cleaning filter. Yes, the filter is needed, but not every filter element will be appropriate.

Axiness User forumhouse.

I think that after the cyclone, a fine cleaning filter is not entirely correct. Rather, you need to put it, but torture it to be brought (very often). There and simply the filter fabric rolling (type of bag in the vacuum cleaner). In my corvette, the top bag delays the bulk of small dust. I see it when I remove the bottom bag to remove sawdust.

The fabric filter can be created by attaching the frame to the top cover of the cyclone and covering it with a dense material (can be tarpaulin).

The main task of the cyclone is to divert sawdust and dust from working area (from the machine, etc.). Therefore, the quality of airflow cleaning from fine suspension plays in our case a minor role. And, given that the standard dustmaker installed in the vacuum cleaner must definitely detain the remaining garbage (the required cyclone), we will achieve the necessary degree of cleaning.

Cyclone Cover

As we said, the cyclone can be made in the form of a lid, which will dress on the storage tank. A valid example of such a device is represented in the photo.

Ostrikrebrena User forumhouse.

Photo images should be clear. Plastic soldered by a regular soldering iron using a small steel grid. Cyclone is quite effective: when filling the barrel on 40 liters, the garbage in the bag of the vacuum cleaner was accumulated at no more glasses.

Despite the fact that this cyclone is part of the homemade construction vacuum cleaner, it can be successfully implemented into the construction of a jajcotus.

Opilkipers

The hoses connected to the chipotto are better to acquire from the vacuum cleaner. On the wall, a plastic pipeline with smooth inner walls can be laid. It will connect the machine with the suckering nozzle of the cyclone.

A certain danger represents static electricity, which is formed during the movement of sawdust on the plastic tube: sticking sawdust on the walls of the pipeline, ignition of wood dust, etc. If you wish to neutralize a similar phenomenon, it is better to do it in the process of building an opilk pipe.

Not all home workshops are paying attention to the phenomenon of static electricity inside the opilk pipe. But if you do the design of the chips in accordance with the rules of fire safety, then the corrugation with a built-in metallic conductor should be used as a solidcructure. Connecting such a system to a grounding circuit will help avoid problems during operation.

alex_k11 User forumhouse.

Plastic pipes necessarily start grounding. Hoses should be taken with a wire, otherwise the static accumulates very much.

But what decision to combat static electricity in plastic pipes offers one of the users of Forumhouse: plastic pipe Foil and connect it to a grounding circuit.

Exhaust devices

The design of devices that take place directly from the working bodies of joinery equipment depends on the features of the machines themselves. Therefore, as exhaust elements, it is possible to use products from plastic, plywood and other suitable materials.

In order to solve this problem, the casing of the tank can be equipped metal carcasy, or insert inward a few metal hoops of a suitable diameter (as the user offers alex_k11). The design will be more cumbersome, but it is absolutely reliable.

Chips for several machines

The system based on a domestic vacuum cleaner has a small performance. Therefore, at the same time, it can serve only one machine. In other words, in the presence of several machines, the suction nozzle will have to connect alternately. You can also install the chips of the centrally. But in order for the suction power to not fall, non-working machines should be disconnected from the general system using the Sewberries (dampers).

If a person has his own workshop, then one of the most important issues There is a cleaning of the room. But unlike the cleaning of dust in the apartment, the usual household vacuum cleaner will not help here, since it is not designed for the construction trash and sawdust - its reservoir for garbage (dust collector or bag) will break very quickly and will be unusable. Therefore, a homemade cyclone filter is often used, which, together with a domestic vacuum cleaner, will help remove the workshop.

Introduction

Wood dust and other technical garbage although it seems harmless at first glance, but actually makes many different dangers in themselves, both for the master and equipment. For example, prolonged work without means of protection that prevent dust to enter the respiratory organs can cause serious complications with breathing paths, worsen the smell, etc. In addition, the tool located in the workshop under the influence of dust can quickly fail. This happens by the fact that:

1. dust, mixing with lubrication inside the tool, forms a mixture, completely unsuitable for lubricating moving parts, which results in overheating and further breakage
2. dust may impede the rotation of moving parts of the instrument, which leads to additional loads, overheating and failure,
3. dust scores the air ducts intended for ventilation of the heated parts of the instrument and remove heat from them, as a result again overheating, deformation and the output of their system.

Thus, the question of quality of removal of feeding products and as a whole cleaning the room is very acute. The modern power tool is equipped with dust and chip and chip systems directly from the sawing zone, which does not allow dust to spread through the workshop. In any case, for the dust removal process you need a vacuum cleaner (or chips)!

There are good industrial vacuum cleaners and if there is an opportunity, it is better to choose the most optimal option For the price and quality and buy a building vacuum cleaner.

Nevertheless, there are cases when there is already a household vacuum cleaner and it is easier to upgrade it and solve the problem of collecting the construction trash in the room. To do this, you need to use a cyclone filter - it is done in half an hour with all the necessary items.

Principle of operation

There are a great set of different cyclone constructions, but all of them unites the same principle of operation. All constructions of cyclone chips consist of three main parts:

• Household vacuum cleaner
• Cyclone filter
• Capacity for garbage collection

Its design is such that the flow of suction air is sent in a circle and its rotational movement is obtained. Accordingly, the construction trash contained in this air flow (these are large and severe fractions), the centrifugal force is valid, which presses it to the walls of the cyclone chamber and under the action of gravity, it gradually settles in the tank.

The disadvantage of the cyclone vacuum cleaner is that it is possible to collect only dry garbage, but if there is water in the garbage, then there will be a problem when sucking such a substance.

The vacuum cleaner must be quite powerful, as in its regular mode of operation, air suction is supposed to be absorbed through the standard hose. In the case of an additional cyclone filter, an additional filter appears on the air path, as well as the total length of the duct increases more than twice due to the additional duct. Since the design is obtained on such a maneuverable, like a separate vacuum cleaner, the length of the last hose must be sufficient for comfortable work.

Preparatory work

As mentioned above, you can make a cyclone filter for the workshop for half an hour, but for this you need to check the presence of everything you need for the production of chips with your own hands, namely: tools, materials and consumables.

Instruments

For the production of work will be needed by the following tools:

1. electric drill,
2. screwdriver
3. electrolovik,
4. compass,
5. clamps
6. cruciform
7. pencil,
8. on wood (50-60mm),
9. set.

Materials and fasteners

Materials can be used both new and used, so carefully view the following list - perhaps something you already have in stock;

1. Air duct (hose) for the vacuum cleaner corrugated or in textile overall.
2. The sewer pipe with a diameter of 50mm and a length of 100-150 mm, in one of the ends of which the air duct of your household vacuum cleaner should be inserted.
3. Sewage tap 30 or 45 degrees, 100-200 mm long, in one ends of which will be inserted into the air duct specified in clause 1.
4. Bucket ("large") plastic 11-26 liters with a hermetically closed lid.
5. Bucket ("Small") Plastic 5-11 liters. Note. It is important that the difference between the two maximum diameters of the buckets was approximately 60-70 mm.
6. Leaf thick 15-20 mm. Note. The size of the sheet should be greater than the maximum diameter of a large bucket.
7. Self-tapping screws with a flat wide head and 2/3 of thickness.
8. Gel sealant universal.

Production of a cyclone filter

The creation of homemade chips makes up from a number of stages:

1. Creating a locking rings and curly insert
2. Installation of a fixing ring
3. Installing lateral pipe
4. Installing upper input
5. Installation of figured insert
6. Build a cyclone filter

Creating a locking rings and curly insert

It is necessary for a small bucket to trim the side, which is used for fastening the lid. As a result, it should be such a cylinder (well, a little on the cone).

We make markup - we put a small bucket on and blackfriend along the edge - we get a circle.

Then we determine the center of this circle (see school Course Geometry) and place another circumference, the radius of which is more existing by 30 mm. Then placing the ring and curly insert, as shown in the figure.

Installation of a fixing ring

Fix the ring on the edge of a small bucket so that it turns out the side. Mounting We produce with screws. It is advisable to first sew holes in order not to split.

We make the marking of the roof of a big bucket. For markup, you need to put the most bucket on the large bucket cover and circling its outline. Marking is better to make a felt-tip pen, as the trace is clearly visible.

It is important to note that all connections should be sealed, respectively, before installing the lid, the connection is needed to melt the joint. You also need to wash the place of the wooden rings and a small bucket.

Installing lateral pipe

The side nozzle is made from the sewage removal of 30 degrees (or 45 heels). To install it, you need to drill a crown hole at the top of a small bucket. Please note that the upper part of the small bucket has now become its bottom.

Installing upper input

To manufacture the upper input, you need to drill a hole in the top of the chips (small bucket), that is, in the center of the former bottom.

For durable fixation of the introductory nozzle, it is necessary to use an additional element of strength in the form of a square billet from a thickness of 20 mm with a central hole under the nozzle of 50 mm.

The fastening of this billet is performed from below four self-pressing. Before mounting for tightness, the place of the joint must be wrapped in a sealant.

Installation of figured insert

The figure insert is a very important component of the homemade chips, it must be fixed inside the cyclone filter, as shown in the photo.

Build a cyclone filter

Then you need to connect the air ducts correctly:

1. Upper nozzle - to the domestic vacuum cleaner
2. Angular removal in the side of the corner - to the hose.

Homemade cyclone vacuum cleaner (chips) is ready.

Repair I. construction works Not only are difficult, but also leave a lot of dust and garbage, which is most often too lazy to clean, and ordinary household vacuum cleaners are simply not able to cope with the task. A cyclone will help for a vacuum cleaner, able to cut off chips, sawdust and other trash, without clogging the dust collector itself.

Operating principle

Many know what kind of building litter is, and how difficult it is to be removed, especially on an industrial scale. There are special construction vacuum cleaners in the market that possess high power, in comparison with domestic, but at the same time have large dimensions and a considerable price. Therefore, the masters of their case creates chips of the type of cyclone with their own hands, thereby improving their household vacuum cleaners and facilitate their work.

The filter is a design of two compartments: external and internal. Under the action of centrifugal force, all Cray coming into dust collector, based on a cyclone principle sorted into large and small particles.

Major settle in the outer chamber, and small - in the inner. It is because of this principle of operation of the filter and called the cyclone.

Making your own hands

Before starting work, you need to remember that it is not difficult to build such an uncomplicated device, so after the development of the principles you can immediately contribute to the mechanism of our own workshops.

In the manufacture of cyclone, with their own hands from the girlfriend, it is necessary:

To make a vacuum cleaner with your own hands, you need:

• In the capacitance cover, it is necessary to make a hole for a polypropylene knee of 90 degrees and in the lateral part of the tank itself the same knee hole in 30 degrees.
• The filter is placed inside the tank, already connected to a polypropylene knee.
• All holes should be tightly closed using sealant.

The hose is tightly fixed with a polypropylene knee and sent clearly down, thereby setting a stable trajectory. Testing on rigid litter is carried out.

Aqua Filter from

If there are problems with searching for the shop aquilt, you can safely make a cyclone filter for a vacuum cleaner with your own hands. To do this, you will need only plastic trumpet, the dimensions of which are installed by relying on the size of the capacity (the sewer small diameter is suitable).

To make a filter yourself, it is necessary to cut the pipe to pieces and tightly connect to the T-shaped form so that air can safely pass between the cameras, and the side branches need to be dried out with a fabric air-permeable material.

From the bottom, at the base of the wide part, it is necessary to drill holes in a checker order (for water intake). Next, it is necessary to connect a cyclone filter with water with the help of a polypropylene knee so that the water filter is inside the tank, the water slightly concerned.

Water is added immediately before using the vacuum cleaner.

Bag for collecting dust

In the manufacture of a bag for a vacuum cleaner with your own hands, the material will suit any, but it is important that it is dense. In order to make such a bag, you will need only three material:

• Textolite (size is selected individually for each vacuum cleaner).
• Any textile tight bag (many use bags from under shoes).
• Clip for part of garbage discharge.

In the textolite, a hole is done with a diameter with a dust removal valve output, all different sizes, depending on the vacuum cleaner model. Next, the same hole is done in the bag and secured between the textolite and bag.

In the opposite part of the bag, a hole for dusting and sera is done, after which the bag is fixed using the clamp.

Cyclone was created in 1986 Jameson Dyson And since then has won its authority in the sales market and keeps its position to this day.

None industrial sphere It does not do without this invention having such qualities as speed and reliability.

Large trash in the workshop can always be mixed and remove to the landfill in bags. But what to do with dust, metal or wood chips, as well as numerous other microscopic waste production? Buying can be careful to hit the wallet. And the usual vacuum cleaner will not cope with such work. But if you make a cyclone with your own hands for a vacuum cleaner or even your own construction vacuum cleaner, you can save yourself from a number of problems!

Why do you need a cyclone filter?

Construction, metallic or wood dust is completely harmless. But this is only at first glance. Work in the room where many dust accumulated, can harm the respiratory authorities and cause serious diseases. Yes, and the tools will deteriorate from the endless flow of garbage. There may be several reasons:

• Dust enters the tool and lubricating inside it. As a result, it overheats and fails.
• If there are moving parts in the device, then the dust may well make them work, and also lead to breakage in the future.
• Dust can score special ventilation holes that are designed to cool the tool. As a result - overheating again and breakdown.

The cyclone filter will collect any garbage in production without harm to the vacuum cleaner.

Principle of operation

Using the aerodynamic air flow, the filter will connect dust with each other. In turn, the centrifugal force begins to act, pressing them to the walls of the tank. And then the power of gravity makes the garbage sow to the bottom.

There are many schemes showing the operation of cyclone filters. One of them can be viewed below.

Cyclone filter device

Make such a, or such a filter can be handled. There are a huge variant of execution, but unites them one - the principle of work. Any design will consist of:

• Conventional vacuum cleaner (preferably powerful);
• Cyclone filter;
• Capacity collecting trash.

In the whole design. In the normal state, it is designed for cleaning at home, suction of a small garbage and dust. In this case, a cyclone filter appears, it means the length of the duct will be increased almost three times, respectively, the load on the device will be greater. The design is pretty massive, in contrast to a conventional vacuum cleaner, so such a trick is needed so that the hose lengths are enough for comfortable cleaning.

Building vacuum cleaner with your own hands: what you need

As mentioned above, you can use the usual household vacuum cleaner. But many masters do not attract such an option, so the self-made unit becomes the best solution.

In order to make such a device, even if it is preserved over the time of the distant Soviet past. This is the advantage that homemade vacuum cleaners can be made of unnecessary old aggregates.

So, extralements are extracted from the vacuum cleaner as:

• Motor;
• Cord connecting device to the network;
• Power adjustment device;
• Suction corrugation.

For the case, prepare:

• Plastic pipe with a diameter of 5 cm;
• Capacity with a lid;
• Plywood sheet with a thickness of about 0.5 cm;
• 14 nuts and bolts M6;
• Strip of tin galvanized;
• Car filter (with minibus);
• Switch - 220 V;
• Sealant;
• Sandpaper;
• Rods for adhesive gun;
• Hose corrugation (can be styrene);
• Threaded heap with nuts and washers;
• Electrical installation corrugation PND32.

It is necessary to immediately prepare the tools:

• Drill;
• Gun for glue;
• Pistol for sealant;
• Keys of plumbing;
• Screwdriver;
• Electrolovik;
• Lubes.

Manufacture

Approximately at a distance of 10 centimeters from the top of the tank, we do a hole in which connecting the nozzle. The hole should be oval smooth shape. The nozzle is located in it slightly at the direction of the downward direction, tightly adjacent to the wall. The adhesive gun needs to secure the result, as in the image 2.

Pipe inserted in a predetermined hole in the barrel

From the inside, securing the adapter, to connect the suction hose.

Cut the two circles in size for about half less than the lid, we drill the bolts. Details are attached from two sides. After other circles are drilled, and the sandpaper, their surface is inspired from the burr. Covered sealants of the product around the perimeter, after that, they are installed and finally attached. The hole under the heel is made in the center. A little left will be placed a hole more for air intake.

Location of studs and air removal holes

The air filter will be needed without a grid (it will be clogged with garbage, which is extremely unprofitable), in which it is placed. It must be removed with nippers. One side of the cylinder should close the plywood cap. The filter is fastened on the heel with a nut.

By the way, the filter will help not just get rid of dust, but also prevent inhalation of hazardous small particles, such as for example toner. If you use the usual vacuum cleaner in this case, the bags are easily clogged with toner dust. In this case, all particles will settle in the tank for collecting.

In order for it to be more convenient to lock, you can cut together with plastic parts. To secure it on the lid, you will need a clamp that can be made of strips of tin.

Switch and regulator are placed nearby. After that, all parts of the wires are connected, and the wire with a fork is connected.

Make sure that everything is connected correctly and no bare wires, and only after that check the device's performance.

Motor location, switch and power regulator

The length of the suction hose is usually lacking, so it is increased by the corrugated pipe.

Standard hooks from the vacuum cleaner will help bring order in any workshop. You can also use them to connect to equipment, for direct garbage collection, with the help of non-urgent adapters.

So, the homemade construction vacuum cleaner of the cyclone type is ready!

What if it is not possible to make a vacuum cleaner with your own hands?

Of course, not everyone wants to engage in the manufacture of a vacuum cleaner from zero, and required details may not be. In this case, the usual household vacuum cleaner is perfect, better with high power. Next, it will be necessary to simply make a cyclone filter for it, which will not require high costs. Most often it is made from a road cone or bucket. Consider both options.

Drawing homemade cyclone You can see below.

Cyclone drawing

Cyclone from Road cone

Simple and quick way to build a cyclone on the vacuum cleaner directly with your own hands is to make it from the road cone.

What is needed for work?

Once the manufacture of the cyclone will be carried out own hands, you need to prepare required tools and consumables. And then we cook:

• Road cone;
• Plastic pipes (approximately 40 mm)
• Angle of 45 degrees;
• Plywood;
• Pieces of LDSP;
• Adhesive gun and rods;
• Capacity with a lid, can be made of paint.

Let's proceed to the manufacture

For a start, take Faneru to make the cover of the cone cover from it. Drink circle the desired diameterand cut two holes in it. One will be in the middle, the second in parallel at the edge, as in Figure 6.

Circle from plywood with holes for entering and output air

Pipe inserted into one of the holes

In the second hole, it is also necessary to insert a pipe, but an angle of 45 degrees is put on top of it. It is moving along it that the air will be twisted into the whirlwind. The angle is located inside the cone.

The arrangement of the angle for correct air circulation in the cyclone

After the pipe is pumped as in the case of the first. Cover is ready. Next it passes into the cone.

The cone tip must be cut off. After, it is inserted into the bucket cover in the center in the pre-prepared hole. The attachment site is sick. From the inside, the lid must be strengthened by pieces of LDSP. After they are tightened with self-draws.

As a result, it turns out the product as in Figure 9.

Ready product

Cyclone Bucket Filter

Another simple material for the manufacture of a cyclone filter will be the usual bucket, you can even from the paint. The volume must be calculated on the basis of the power of the vacuum cleaner - this is about 1 liter of the container for every 80-100W.

There should be a hermetically adjacent lid on the bucket, and the form of capacity itself is necessarily round!

For the manufacture you will need:

• Bucket with a lid (can be from under construction mixtures);
• Compass;
• 2 knees 90 and 45 degrees;
• Plastic tube;
• Silicone;
• Rubber or sealing rings;
• Stationery knife;
• Adhesive pistol.

Manufacture

Making holes in the lid. You can use the factory circulation, and can be self-made. Drink two scores in the rail from the tree at a distance of each other exactly 2.7 centimeters.

The center of each hole is scheduled 4 cm from the edge. Next, circles under the pipes on the marked places are cut.

We insert tightly knee into the socket, pre-applying silicone on his side. From the inside of the product, the seal is stretched onto the socket. If necessary, degress the clamp. It turns out in Figure 10.

Insert pipes into the lid of the bucket, correctly turning the angle

From the outside of the inlet nozzle is almost heavily with a lid. On the opposite side, the knee is sent to the turning part to the center of the bucket. But for the desired effect, it is supplied with a rotation of 45 degrees, which is directed downwardly down as in Figure 11.

Back side

The second nozzle that will pull the air is located in the opposite direction. The knee is inserted into it so that the air is closed from the bucket wall. It is necessary to use sealing rings in each case, they will allow secure the pipes to securely, and they will not be allowed to rotate.

We conclude that you can make a cyclone for a vacuum cleaner with your own hands, you can quickly and simply, using sweater. At the output, it should be about such a device as in the figure below.

Cyclone filter connected to a domestic vacuum cleaner

Difficulties that can be encountered during operation

Create a cylinder filter personally, or even a homemade vacuum cleaner, as we have seen not difficult, in the presence of the necessary materials.

In some cases, it is recommended to take metal containers for garbage collection, as they are considered stronger. In the presence of a vacuum cleaner with a huge power, the plastic bucket can say so to speak. It is drawn into inside due to a strong flow of suction air. It happens extremely rare, but it is better to immediately provide such an option. It can be aligned, but damage to the product will be on the face. So you should always consider the quality of plastic and the power of the device. In the case of a road cone, this problem does not occur.

Today we will tell you about the cyclone filter for the vacuum cleaner in the workshop, because one of the problems with which you have to deal with woodworking - dusting. Industrial equipment is quite expensive, so we will make a cyclone with your own hands - it is absolutely easy.

What is cyclone and why he need

In the workshop almost always there is a need to remove the trash of a fairly large fraction. Sawdust, fine trimming, metal chips - all this, in principle, can catch the usual filter of the vacuum cleaner, but he will quickly come into disrepair with a high probability. In addition, there will be no extra opportunity to remove and liquid waste.

Filter Cyclone uses aerodynamic twist to tie sterns different sizes. Spinning in a circle, the garbage time to stick to such a consistency when it can no longer be carried away by the stream of air and settles on the day. Such an effect occurs almost always if the air flow with sufficient speed passes through a cylindrical container.

This kind of filters are included in many industrial vacuum cleaners, but their cost is not called available for the average man. At the same time, the spectrum of tasks solved by homemade devices, not at all. The handicraft cyclone can be used both in conjunction with plans, perforators or jigsaws, and to remove sawdust or chips from different types of machines. In the end, even simple cleaning with such a device occurs much simpler, for the majority of dust and garbage will settle in the containers from where it can be easily removed.

The difference between wet and dry cyclone

To create a swirling stream, the main requirement is that the air does not follow the shortest path to the exhaust hole. To do this, the inlet pipe must have a special shape and be directed either to the bottom of the container or by tangent to the walls. The exhaust channel for a similar principle is recommended to do the swivel, optimally, if it is directed to the lid of the device. An increase in aerodynamic resistance due to pipe bends can be neglected.

As already mentioned, the cyclone filter is potentially able to remove liquid waste. With liquid, everything is somewhat more complicated: the air in the pipe and the cyclone is partially delivered, which contributes to the evaporation of moisture and its partition into very small drops. Therefore, the inlet nozzle must be located as close as possible to the surface of the water or even lower under it.

In most washing vacuum cleaners The air is supplied to the water through the diffuser, thus, any moisture contained in it effectively dissolves. However, for greater versatility with a minimum alteration, use such a scheme is not recommended.

We are made of girlfriend

The most simple I. available option For cyclone capacity there will be a bucket of paint or other construction mixtures. The volume should be comparable to the power of the vacuum cleaner used, approximately this is one liter for every 80-100 W.

The lid of the bucket must necessarily be intended and tightly to wear on the body of the future cyclone. She will have to modify, having done a couple of holes. Regardless of the bucket material, the easiest way to make the holes of the desired diameter are to use the homely zircule. IN wooden rail You need to screw two self-sufficiency in such a way that their tip is from each other at a distance of 27 mm, no more nor less.

Hole centers need to schedule 40 mm from the edge of the lid, it is desirable that they are as much as possible from each other. And the metal, and the plastic are perfectly scratched with such a homemade tool, forming smooth edges with almost without scaling.

The second element of the cyclone will serve as a set of sewer knees under 90º and 45º. We note in advance that the position of the corners must correspond to the direction of air flow. Their attachment in the case cover is performed according to the following scheme:

1. The knee is inserted until it stops into the side of the socket. Pre-under the side is applied silicone sealant.
2. From the opposite side, a rubber sealing ring is tensioned with an effort. For confidence, it can be additionally clipped with a screw clamp.

The inlet nozzle is located a narrow turning part inside the bucket, the fool is located on the outside almost flush with the lid. The knee must be supplied by another turn of 45º and send the defects down and tangent to the wall of the bucket. If the cyclone is manufactured by calculating wet cleaning, It is necessary to grow extremely knee-trimming pipes, reducing the distance from the bottom to 10-15 cm.

The exhaust nozzle is located in the reverse position and its fool is under the lid bucket. It also needs to insert one knee so that the air fence takes place at the wall or make two turns for suction from under the center of the lid. The latter is preferable. Do not forget about sealing rings, for more reliable fixation and exclusion of knees, they can be copied by Plumbing Scotch.

How to adjust the device for machines and tools

To be able to draw waste when the manual and stationary tool is required, the adapter system will be required. Typically, the hose for the vacuum cleaner ends with a curved tube, the diameter of which is comparable to the fittings for bags of dust collectors of the power tool. As a last resort, you can compact a compound by multiple layers of two-way tape for mirrors wrapped with vinyl tape to eliminate stickiness.

Stationary equipment is increasingly harder. Dust dealers have a very different configuration, especially in homemade machines, so you can only give a few useful recommendations:

1. If the machine dust removal is designed for 110 mm or larger sleeves, use plumbing transitions by 50 mm diameter to connect the corrugated vacuum cleaner hose.
2. For docking with dust trap homemade machines, it is convenient to use press fittings for PND pipes by 50 mm.
3. Working out the casing and removal of the dust collector, use a convection stream created by driving tool parts for greater efficiency. For example: nozzle for removal of sawdust from circular saw Must be directed by a tangent of the saw disk.
4. Sometimes it is necessary to provide dust from different sides of the processed part, for example, for a ribbon saw or a mill. Use 50 mm sewer tees and corrugated hoses for wastewater.

What vacuum cleaner and the system of connections to use

Usually, the vacuum cleaner for homemade cyclone is not selected independently, but use the one that is in stock. However, there are a number of restrictions in addition to the capacity mentioned above. If you want to continue using a domestic vacuum cleaner, then at least you will need to find an additional hose.

All the charm used in the design of sewer knees is that they are ideal for the diameter of the most common hoses. Therefore, the spare hose can be safely cut on 2/3 and 1/3, a shorter segment should be shrinking with a vacuum cleaner. Another, longer segment, in such a form as it is refilled into the socket of the cyclone inlet. Maximum, which will be required in this place - compact the connection with silicone sealant or sanitary tape, but usually the landing density is high enough. Especially in the presence of a sealing ring.

To pull the short segment of the hose on the exhaust pipe, the extreme part of the corrugation will have to be dissolved. Depending on the diameter of the hose, it may be more convenient to fill in. If the straightened edge does not fit a little on the pipe, it is recommended to warm it up slightly with a hairdryer or an indirect flame of a gas burner. The latter is considered an excellent option, because this compound is located optimally relative to the direction of the moving stream.
