PAXAA cyclones are offered in mild and in

stainless steel versions. For applications involv-

High separating efficiency

Primary Collector or Precleaner

Use the PAXAA Cyclone as your primary collec-
tor with or without the optional after-filter, for
dusts of moderate to coarse particle size. The
PAXAA Cyclone will remove up to 99% (by
weight) of dust generated by steel grinding
and saw dust.
Use it as a precleaner for any of PAXAAs more
efficient final collectors such as the PAXAA
Pulse Jet, PAXAA Reverse Air, or PAXAA Me-
chanical Shaker Baghouses. By reducing the
dust load on the higher efficiency final filter, a
more economical final filter may be selected
and a longer filter life can be obtained. Where to Use the PAXAA Cyclone
The Cyclone can be used in almost any appli-
Sizes cation that generates dust particles greater
than 20 microns in diameter. This includes
PAXAA offers 11 basic selections to handle air-
sanding, coarse grinding, finishing, material
