Cyclone filter for pneumatic conveying systems
Efficiently separate and filter airborne dust in pneumatic conveying lines, ensuring product purity while minimizing maintenance with self-cleaning mechanisms.

The CFA Cyclone Filter by GEA Group is designed to tackle the demanding needs of dust filtration and product separation in pneumatic conveying systems across food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. This self-cleaning cyclone filter effectively isolates transported materials from dusty air streams. Utilizing a sedimentation chamber, it separates particulates, depositing solids while directing the filtered air through bag filters. The system is equipped with a manometer that monitors pressure loss, ensuring optimal efficiency. The CFA Cyclone Filter integrates seamlessly into production lines, handling diverse products such as protein powders, pharmaceutical excipients, and powdered cleaning agents. Constructed from stainless steel to uphold hygiene standards, it meets the rigorous demands of continuous operation. Additionally, the machine allows easy maintenance with accessible inspection hatches and complies with local regulations. Ideal for manufacturers dealing with powder and dust products, it offers automatic cleaning with timed compressed air jets, reducing downtime and extending filter life.
