Cyclone barrels of their own hands

Wood has always been considered an eco-friendly and safe material. The fine wood dust produced during machining of the wood is not so harmless as it might seem. Her breathing does not contribute to the saturation of the body microelements. Accumulate in the lungs and upper respiratory tract (as wood dust is not processed by the body), it is slowly but effectively destroying the respiratory system. Large chips constantly accumulates near the machines and work tools. It is better to clean up, not waiting for the appearance of insurmountable blockages in the space of a carpentry workshop.

In order to keep in the home carpenter's shop required purity level, you can buy an expensive exhaust system consisting of a powerful fan, cyclone, struzhkouloviteley, chip capacity and support elements. But the users of our portal - not from those who are used to buy what you can do with your hands. Using their experience, anyone can collect the exhaust system, the power which will meet the needs of a small home workshop.

Vacuum cleaner for collecting sawdust

Chip blowers using ordinary household vacuum cleaner - most budget option of the WCC existing solutions. And if you manage to engage in the work of his old aide for cleaning that out of pity yet then, I was not thrown in the trash, then you inherent frugality has served once again for your good service.

ADKXXI (User FORUMHOUSE):

My vacuum cleaner for more than fifty years (grade - "Uralets"). It copes with the role struzhkososa. Heavy it just as my sins, but can not just suck, but the blow. Sometimes I use this opportunity.

By itself, the household vacuum cleaner mounted on a place of honor in the shop as Chip, will be useless. And the main reason for that - too small volume of the bag (container) for collecting dust. That is why the vacuum between the machine and must be additional node extraction system consisting of a cyclone and volume reservoir to collect sawdust.

Osia (User FORUMHOUSE):

The simplest installation – vacuum cleaner and cyclone. Moreover, the vacuum cleaner can be used is the home. Instead of the cyclone (cylindrical cone) may be used a separating cap.

Vacuums for sawdust with his own hands

Driving Chip before us is very simple.

The apparatus consists of two main modules: a cyclone (pos. 1) and the chip capacitance (pos. 2). Its working principle is as follows: Use a vacuum cleaner vacuum is created in the cyclone chamber. Due to the difference of pressures inside and outside the apparatus dust together with air and dust enter into the inner space of the cyclone. Here, under the action of forces of inertia and gravity, mechanical slurry are separated from the airflow and fall into the lower container.

Consider the construction of the device more in detail.

Cyclone

Cyclone can be done in the form of a cap, which is mounted on top of the storage tank, and you can simply combine these two modules. To begin, consider the second option - a cyclone formed in the body of the chip container.

The first thing we need to buy a container with a suitable volume.

ForceUser (User FORUMHOUSE):

Capacity - 65 l. He took on the principle - we need the volume and comfort while carrying the filled container. In this barrel contains the handle, which is convenient for cleaning.

Here is a list of additional elements and materials that we need for the device collection:

• Screws, washers and nuts - for fastening the inlet;
• The length of sewer pipe with collars;
• The transitional coupling (with the sewer pipe to the suction nozzle of the vacuum cleaner);
• Gun with glue mounting.

Vacuum cleaner from the drum with your hands: the sequence of assembly

Primarily in the sidewall of the tank is done under the inlet opening, which is situated tangentially to the housing. The figure shows a view from the outer side of the tank.

Inside the inlet pipe is as follows.

Gap between the pipe and the walls of the tank must be filled with sealant assembly.

In the next stage, we make holes in the lid, insert the adapter to the sleeve and carefully sealing all cracks around the nozzle. Ultimately Chip design will look like.

Vacuum cleaner connected to the upper output device, and a branch pipe discharging chips from the machine, vdevaetsya a side pipe.

As can be seen, the design presented is not equipped with additional filters that do not greatly affect the quality of air purification.

den_61 (FORUMHOUSE User):

Chip blowers made based on the theme. It is based on the vacuum cleaner "missile" 400 watts and 100 liter barrel. After assembling the unit successfully tested. Everything works as it should: dust - in a barrel, vacuum cleaner bag is empty. So far, the dust collector is brought only to the Fraser.

Whatever it was, but a certain percentage of wood dust cyclone delay still can not. And in order to bring the degree of purification to high, some users of our portal think about the need to install additional fine filter. Yes, you need a filter, but not just in the filter element to be appropriate.

Osia (User FORUMHOUSE):

I think that after the cyclone fine filter set is not quite right. Or rather, should be placed, but the torment of his brush (often have to). There and just ride the filter cloth (such as a bag in the vacuum cleaner). I have in the Corvette top bag holds the bulk of the fine dust. I can see that, when rented the lower bag for dust extraction.

Cloth filter can be created by attaching a frame to the top of the cyclone lid and its obtyanuv dense material (may be a tarpaulin).

The main problem is that the cyclone to draw dust and dust from the working area (on the machine, etc.). Therefore, the quality of the air flow from the cleaning fine suspensions in this case plays a minor role. And, considering that the standard dust receptacle mounted in the vacuum cleaner, be sure to hold up the remaining debris (unfiltered cyclone), we will achieve the necessary degree of purification.

Cyclone-cap

As we have said, a cyclone can be made in the form of a cap, which will be dressed in the storage tank. The current example of such a device is shown in the photo.

OstrieBrevna (FORUMHOUSE User) :

From the photographs the design should be clear. Plastic soldered conventional soldering iron using fine steel mesh. Cyclone quite effective: when filling barrels with 40 liters of garbage accumulated in the bag of a vacuum cleaner is not a cup.

Despite the fact that the cyclone part of the self-made construction of the vacuum cleaner, it can be successfully implemented in the construction joinery Chip.

Opilkoprovod

Hoses connected to Chip, better to buy it from the vacuum cleaner. The wall is possible to lay a plastic pipe with smooth inner walls. It will connect the machine to the suction pipe of the cyclone.

A certain risk is static electricity which is generated during movement sawdust plastic tube: sawdust adhering to the pipe wall, ignition of wood dust and so on. d. If you wish to counteract this phenomenon, it is best to do it during construction opilkoprovoda.

On the phenomenon of static electricity inside opilkoprovoda pay attention, not all owners of home workshops. But if you do Chip design in accordance with the fire safety rules, as opilkoprovoda should be used with integrated corrugated metal conductor. Connecting this system to the grounding circuit will help to avoid problems during operation.

alex_k11 (User FORUMHOUSE):

On plastic pipes required to establish grounding. Hoses should be taken with a wire, or static accumulates very much.

But what action to combat static electricity in plastic tubes offer one of users FORUMHOUSE: wrap a plastic foil pipe and connect it to the ground circuit.

extraction systems

The design of the devices, which discharge chips directly on the working bodies of carpentry equipment, depends on the particular machines themselves. Therefore, as the exhaust elements, you can use products from plastic, plywood or other suitable materials.

den_61:

The dust collector is brought only to the Fraser. Connected to the saw similarly not see sense, ie. K. A large part of sawdust flies down. That is why there was an idea to make the dust collector under the saw - on the suspension.

housing drive

A general idea of ​​how the drive should look for chips, you already have. The only thing we did not mention at once, so it's about the body deformation that can occur if the suction line is clogged.

To solve this problem, the reservoir housing can be equipped with a metal frame, or inserted into several metal hoops of suitable diameter (as proposed by the user alex_k11). The design will be more cumbersome, but it is absolutely reliable.

Chip blowers for multiple machines

based household cleaner system has a small capacity. Therefore, at the same time it can serve only one machine. In other words, if you have multiple machines suction tube have to connect to them in turn. Chip blowers can also be set centrally. But in order to suction power does not fall, broken machines should be disconnected from the overall system via dampers (dampers).

Vacuum Cleaner, cyclone and a storage tank can be mounted on a single axle base, which significantly increase the mobility Chip.

Some users of our portal are worried about the fact that the application of a domestic vacuum cleaner in a carpentry workshop poses a threat to fire safety. That's what they think about their opponents.

Dimention (User FORUMHOUSE):

Vacuum cleaners are designed for conventional dust which filters the regular fine filter. And wood dust concentration after zero (in the ignition scale). So that the problem is far-fetched.
