Abstract

A cyclone separator comprising a separating tower defining a separating chamber having a gas inlet at the upper portion for introducing gaseous fluid having particles suspended therein with a tangential velocity component, and outlet pipe means co-axially with the separating chamber at the upper portion thereof to allow the gaseous fluid to flow out of the separating chamber. The separating tower has a bottom which is slightly inclined with respect to a horizontal plane to provide a lowermost portion in the bottom, and a particle outlet port at said lowermost portion. A vibrating motor applies vibration at least to said bottom of the separating tower, and a baffle plate is provided in said separating chamber above and spaced from said particle outlet port.
