Plastic Cyclone

The SKC Plastic Cyclone is a lightweight conductive plastic unit that holds a collection filter in a reusable cassette during sampling.

Respirable

The SKC Plastic Cyclone is a lightweight conductive plastic unit that holds a collection filter in a reusable cassette during sampling. The cyclone is designed to sample respirable dust as per MDHS 14/4 and the BS EN 481 criteria. When attached to a suitable sample pump respirable particles collect on the filter and larger particles fall into the grit pot, at the base, to be discarded. It is designed for a 50% cut-point of 4.0 µm at 3.0 L/min. The static-dissipating cyclone features a snap-together cassette system and is used at 3.0 L/min flow with a 25 mm or 37 mm cyclone cassette. It includes a grit pot. The SKC Plastic Cyclone 25mm (225-69) is similar to the the Higgins-Dewell design cyclone (2.2 L/min) but operates at 3.0 L/min.

The SKC Plastic Cyclone has been assessed against the respirable convention, described in BS EN 481 by the Health & Safety Laboratory, UK. A copy of the Certificate of Conformity is included with each cyclone.
