Dust Separator (with a twist)

Home-made dust separators often suffer from the same deficiency. Dust makes it through the separator proportional to the dust collected by the separator. As dust fills the container, the airflow agitates the settled dust as it is in nearer proximity. While the separator may operate at 99% efficiency when empty, as it fills, efficiency may drop to 70% or lower.
This project solves this problem with the addition of a baffle (which has been done many times before), along with an extended outflow pipe with many smaller holes drilled in its side to disperse the outflow pressure. As you will see, this allows for high efficiency, even when near-full.

Good video. Good descriptions and camera angles. My personal preference would be to hear shop noises and the voiceover not the music. Each to their own.

I've looked at a number of dust collector videos and you're the only one that has found a way of dispersing the air stream and reducing the air turbulence. Great job.

Can I get a printout of the baffle cut out

@Cwyrm 9 ай бұрын

What was the pressure drop like though? I would worry that this might cost a significant amount of pressure loss as air is restricted and dispersed as it travels through the baffle.

Great project. Very accessible. Have you tried lowering the inlet connection? e.g. towards the mid-height of the bucket.

@willofscott4611 Жыл бұрын

Yes, it seems to me that the different designs have the intake too high up where it’s more prone to get sucked in the exhaust port being it’s spinning around the port and not at a lower level? But I have never built one, and it seems to work fantastic, so what do i know. Lol.

im really confused. whats the point of this? all you did was removed the bucket and filter from the shop vac and added a home made cyclone and bucket to the equation and made it harder to drag around the shop to vacuum.

For me it was the volume gradients. It was so soft when he was speaking and at times felt like I had to turn it up to hear what he was saying, but then my ears would get blasted off when music popped in on the time lapses.

Did nobody ever teach you about volume gradients when making a video. I have to turn it up to here you speak but then get my ears blasted off when your music pops in on the time lapses. Down voted as recompense for my eardrums.
