Losing excess dust from a tablet press during processing can be a major problem. Usually this excess powder is piped down the LEV line, to the central dust extraction system. This powder will come into contact with various filters during this journey, often causing them to blind. Changing these filters can prove both expensive and time consuming.
The Uni-Dust cyclone is designed to overcome this problem. By placing the cyclone between the tablet press and the LEV line, excess powder can be collected in capture-pot at the foot of the cyclone; this allows batch losses to be reconciled inside the process room itself. Importantly, the Uni-Dust cyclone normally separates over 95%the solids from the air, allowing clean air to pass to the central dust extraction system.
