ABSTRACT:
A method of separating particles from particle laden air having a multiple stage separator in which the first stage comprises a generally cylindrical chamber having a hollow central member extending axially from one end thereof with openings in its wall remote from the one end. The first separation step is achieved by introducing air tangentially into the chamber near its one end, establishing a rotating mass of air in the chamber causing heavier than air particles to migrate to the outer regions of the chamber. Suction is applied to the interior of the central member to cause an axial movement of air through the chamber such that particles near the walls of the chamber tend to continue in a generally rotational and axially progressive path into a particle collecting region of the chamber, while relatively particle-free air is drawn radially inwardly.
