Abstract

A compact dust separator and collector employs a generally cylindrical separator section having a inlet tube where air and entrained dust particles enters the separator section, a top plate with a vortex tube extending downward, and a separator baffle plate disposed at a lower end of said separator section below a lower end of the vortex tube. The baffle plate has peripheral geometry that defines a peripheral gap from the cylindrical separator section wall, with the gap increasing in width in the direction of air flow. There is a blower and filter section above the separator section and a collection section below. The vortex tube can have a cylindrical mesh extending down to the baffle plate, which may have a self-emptying dust cup.
