Powder Saver Cyclone

To prevent powders being wasted in filters during nutraceutical manufacturing, a Powder Capture Cyclone can be connected to process machinery to collect waste powder using filter-less, vortex separation technology.

Many nutraceutical manufacturers use tablet presses and capsule filling machines when creating their products. The filters on these machines notoriously clog up and blind, which are expensive to replace, causes loss of suction during blinding and wastes valuable nutra ingredients. Connecting a cyclone to the extraction lines of these machines significantly reduces material loss and saves on filter replacement and maintenance costs.

Uni-Dust Cyclone

The Hanningfield Uni-Dust Cyclone typically captures between 90 – 99.9% of waste powder and is ideal for nutraceutical manufacturing. Recovered waste material can be used for batch loss reconciliation, or even reintroduced to the process (where protocol permits). The cyclone can be retrofitted to your existing dust extraction line, or can be supplied with a side channel blower to provide a dedicated vacuum source.

Filter-less particle separation is possible because the cyclone’s geometry causes the solid particles to be split apart from the air stream. It features an all stainless steel design, assembled using Tri-Clamps for hygienic construction, while allowing for quick and easy assembly / disassembly. With no mechanical parts, the cyclone has virtually no consumable items or conceivable faults. Once installed, the unit is maintenance-free and cost-free, making return on investment high and ever-increasing.
