Cyclones
Powder Separation. Efficient Recovery.
Cyclones recover overspray powder by separating it from the airflow using the cyclone separation principle — they sit at the core of the powder recovery chain and feed the after-filter for clean air return.
The Core of Powder Recovery.
Cyclones separate the overspray powder carried by the airflow using the cyclone separation principle; the separated powder is returned to the production flow, while the remaining fines are routed to the after-filter for clean air return.
The cyclone is the core unit of the powder recovery chain and is completed with after-filter cartridge filtration so clean air is returned to the shop floor. It works as a coordinated line with STRONG3000 booths, filter units and the powder feed system.
The Cyclone in a Mono-Cyclone PVC Booth.
A cyclone does not work on its own. In a STRONG3000 automatic powder coating line, powder drawn from the booth is separated in the cyclone; the cleaned air leaves through the after-filter and the recovered powder returns to the guns via the powder center.

PVC Booth
Powder that does not stick collects on the booth floor and is drawn into the mono-cyclone through the suction ducts.

Monocyclone
Separates the powder from the air; the separated powder returns to production from the bottom of the cyclone.

After-Filter
Holds back the very fine powder the cyclone cannot separate in its cartridges; the cleaned air returns to the shop floor.

Powder Center
The TP-2 transfer pump moves the powder in the cyclone straight into the powder center hopper, where it mixes with virgin powder.

Reciprocators and Guns
The mixed powder goes to the automatic guns through the injectors and is applied to the part again.

From the Booth to the Cyclone, from the Cyclone to the Gun.
- ApplicationMost of the powder from the guns adheres to the part; the small amount that does not falls to the booth floor.
- Floor evacuationAir valves along the centre of the floor periodically push the powder towards the wall bases.
- ExtractionPowder is drawn through the extraction ducts under the booth to the monocyclone.
- SeparationThe monocyclone separates powder from the air; very fine particles go to the after-filter and are collected in the hopper below it.
- ReturnThe TP-2 transfer pump sends powder from the cyclone straight to the powder center hopper, where it mixes with virgin powder and goes back to the guns.
Efficient Separation and Recovery.
Powder Separation
Powder is separated from the airflow by the cyclone principle.
Overspray Recovery
Overspray powder is recovered and waste is reduced.
After-Filter Feed
Feeds the after-filter; clean air returns to the shop floor.
System Compatible
Works together with booths and filter units.
