CYCLONE SEPARATOR FABRICATION

CYCLONE SEPARATOR FABRICATION

Production activity consists transforming a raw material into final product by sequential operation performing on material. Before this stage a complete design is done for how to fabricate it to done its desire function efficient. In this stage design of product is converted into actual product.

Cyclone separator consist following parts

• Cylinder
• Conical portion
• Top cover
• Exhaust pipe
• Inlet pipe
• Dust collector

First of all to make cyclone separator we use M.S SHEET (50×55cm) thickness of 16 gauge (approx. 2mm) as raw material. Measurement and marking operation is done on it according to design. Now from this sheet we cut profile of different parts (cylinder, cone) by automatic hacksaw machine. After cutting the profile of various parts we take them to rolling machine to roll it into desired shape as per drawing. Now we done spot welding is done is both end to provide support and then continuous arc welding is done. After making individual different parts we join it by welding according to design.

Top cover as a hole in it which has diameter of 50cm for exhaust. Exhaust pipe is welded in it. Now for making inlet for our cyclone separator we make a hole by gas cutter in top portion of cylinder. Gases enter the separator in tangential direction. Because of radial direction there is a tendency of gathering gas near the exhaust pipe and we cannot get sufficient swirl to produce separation of particle. To provide tangential inlet profile is cut on inlet pipe and cylinder such that it make 8-10 degree angle. Thus swirl of inlet gases is produce in the cylinder.



Now due to the centrifugal force heavy particles are forced to the wall and they are collected into the dust collector at the bottom of the conical portion. Due to the conical portion the velocity of gas is increased so it is effectively exhaust through pipe which is fitted at a top.
After the complete fabrication of separator we done grinding on it to remove slag due to the welding process and also achieve perfect finishing. We use hand grinder machine for this purpose. Finally black colour is done on it to protect it from corrosion, and to reduce effect of bad weather.

VARIOUS PROCESS USED FOR MANUFACTURING CYCLONE SEPARATOR
Following processes used are as below.

• Arc-welding process
• Gas cutting process
• Rolling process
• Grinding process
