Abstract

Nowadays, the use of cyclone dust collector is very popular in industrial and domestic areas for cleaning and miscellaneous work. Cyclone dust collector is referred as two-stage dust collectors that attach with a vacuum cleaner. The result of previous study shows that, the increased usage of cyclone dust collector gained attention from industries. Cyclone dust collector is widely used in the industrial sector than in household because the price is too expensive. Furthermore, cyclones have often been considered as low-efficiency collectors. However, efficiency varies greatly with particle size and cyclone design. This project report discussed about market feasibility and the design parameters required to construct a low-cost and high-performance cyclone dust collector by applying the previous study cyclone models and surveys that have been collected from vacuum cleaner users. There are two main collection points which are the primary collection point is for the heavier dust and debris while the second point is for finer particulate matter. It uses centrifugal force as the primary means of particle separation. The fabrication of cyclone dust collector made up by low-cost or recycle materials such as skittle cone, plywood and others. The collection efficiency test will be done using three different particles which are pebble, soil and sawdust that have different size of diameter and density. The average size of diameter of pebble, soil and sawdust are 2000
