How can I make a cyclone vacuum cleaner.

When something is made of wood, it turns out a lot of chips and sawdust - is such a surprise :-).

In fact, the issue of collecting sawdust and shavings - urgent task for the workshop. And then I'll tell you about his decision of this problem. maybe someone will come in handy this experience.

So I had an old Soviet vacuum cleaner hose to it and brush, and even found a small tank of 36 cm. in diameter and 50 cm in height.

That's because these things I decided to do struzhkosobiratel. The cyclone in the form of a cone does not suit me. (Honestly, I was too lazy busy with a cone) Began to look like the problem can be solved differently, and found this site: http://www.jpthien.com/cy.htm

Pictures on the website I had enough and I decided to make a similar cover for your tank.

The upper cover is made of an external tank size of 8 mm plywood. To it is adhered from below another cap according to the inner diameter of the tank 6 mm plywood. Another circular seal pasted to the windows. Central hole made under the tube from the cleaner, and from above through the seal screwed upper part of the vacuum cleaner brush.

Close to the edge of the lid and also made a hole in it is inserted the angular part of the vacuum cleaner brush. Becoming a part of the brush, so as not to bother with connecting hoses.

Three racks 6 cm long fixed cutter chip. It is made on the inner tank diameter from 6mm plywood and with a small gap to just entered the tank.

In this fanerki cut off most of the range. The clearance to the tank wall in the truncated portion of about 3 cm. Even by a segment with an angle of about 120 degrees. This cutter is placed so that the tube was placed at an angle to the edge of a large segment. (Photo is seen).

The principle of operation of the cyclone. On the central tube connects the hose from the vacuum cleaner. When installed in the tank lid, and vacuum is created only where air can get into the tub - so through a bent pipe on the tank edge. This tube connected to each hose and it will be connected to the instrument and collect the shavings and sawdust.

With this arrangement of the tubes is connected and, sawdust, which are absorbed, fall into the tank along the tank wall, are in a circle, and before reaching the slit shut off, fall down, as the main vacuum is created directly under the center cover. The vacuum cleaner with nothing misses.

Some time later I decided to try out how the system works if you remove the cutter.

It proved to work. Especially when the tank is empty. As you fill shavings dust, which "hangs" in the tank begins to fall more and more into himself cleaner. Fanerku at bottom this is not observed, the dust settled mostly below this fanerki.

And further.. Castle Cover is not particularly necessary when the vacuum cleaner is turned on, the cover is attracted to the tank with sufficient reliability.

As a result: a cyclone has turned the worker, in addition to its connection to the tools spend more cleaning in the studio, that's fine too.

And you can see a video of this cyclone for the sake of completeness.

Thank you and until the next publication.

I will be glad of your support in the form of a husky and a subscription to the channel.
