Abstract

A low-profile dust collector assembly incorporates a low-profile cyclonic separator into a lid for a dust collection bucket. An outer lid ring can be formed of coffers that add strength to the lid and also reduce swirl in the air below the lid. The cyclonic separator has a shell rising from an inner circumference of the lid ring and has a horizontal inlet tube and central vertical outlet tube. A baffle for the separator includes a baffle plate fitted within the inner circumference and a turret of vertical members arranged with a top ring that fits onto the outlet tube. This compact arrangement has improved performance in airflow and dust separation. A spring clamp assists in fitting onto buckets over a range of diameters, and a pair of circumferential gaskets at right angles to one another form an air-tight seal.
