Extraction Rate Maths (I'm Confused)

[pe2dave]

Why would you put a cyclone on a hvlp extractor leaves you with two bags to empty??

On a vacuum with a small volume container yes but a hvlp will have a large drum / bag??

Cheers James

My research contradicts that James? Common experience, 99% stays in cyclone, tiny percentage of small dust particles passed through to dust extractor.

Dear benefactor MikeK (you did remember to put me into your will, didn't you?),

You'll find out when I pop my clogs.

I guess you remember to empty your bins regularly then!

It only takes one painful lesson for me to adjust my work habits. I have a filter pressure gauge to alert me when the pressure in the plenum increases, but I didn't pay any attention to it. I also bought a bin level sensor to test when I can find the time to install it.
