How does a Dust Collector work?

First of all a dust collector is a device that "captures" dust particles from a "source point" in real time - before it spreads or settles down. Therefore, dust collection is concurrent process with dust genreation.

Essentially, a dust collector provides "right air velocity, at the right place, in the right direction" where the dust is being generated, with an objective of changing the dynamics of the particles to start flowing in a desired direction (towards the dust collector) with the help of suction airflow. Once these particles reach inside the dust collector they are separated from the carrier air with the help of a separation device - such as a cyclone and/or fabric filters, etc.

Collected dust is housed in a bin to be disposed off later, or simultaneously discharged through a rotary air valve. Clean air is discharged.
