Axminster Workshop Cyclone Dust Extractors | Dust Extraction
Cyclone dust extractors have become popular with professional workshops because of their unique blend of performance and capabilities. Designed with the home user in mind, Axminster Workshop offers two cyclone extractor models, which will efficiently capture the dust created by most woodworking machines.Â
Cyclone extraction for your home workshop
How cyclone dust extractors work
Often referred to as a two-stage dust collector and unlike traditional dust collectors, cyclone dust extractors have two collection points for dust and debris. The first collection point is for the larger chips such as planer debris, whilst the second collection point collects the very fine dust, typically generated when sanding.
The system works by first drawing the wood waste into the air stream through the dust ports. Once the air enters the machine, the negative air creates cyclonic (centrifugal) action, causing the air to spin around in the cyclone housing.
Large, heavy wood chips fall down the housing into the first container, while the lighter dust particles are drawn up through the impeller into a filter canister. Any remaining fine dusts are collected in the second compartment.
Benefits of a cyclone
Keep dusts at bay
The cyclone technology reduces dusts entering the filter and therefore minimises the airborne dusts escaping from the machine. Not only does this improve the air quality in your workshop but it also helps to keep your workshop dust free.
Eliminate any damage
As the air stream is drawn in below the impeller, any large pieces of wood will drop down into the first compartment. Therefore eliminating any damage which can be caused by it hitting the impeller.
Efficient extraction and a longer life
By separating the wood waste and collecting the large wood chips before they enter the filter cartridge, this prevents any build-up of debris in the filter. Enabling the machine to carry on working efficiently for longer.
Three models to choose from
Designed with the home user in mind, our Axminster Workshop Cyclone Extractors are available as three different models.
AW118CE Cyclone Dust Extractor
The AW118CE Cyclone Dust Extractor offers you the complete dust extraction system. Designed for the home user but boasting qualities found within professional cyclone machines, the AW118E gives you clean and very efficient dust extraction.
Fitted with twin dust ports, you’re able to choose between twin 100mm or a single 125mm inlet. Its sturdy tubular steel frame holds the main body securely. Whilst the castor wheels make this machine easy to move around in your home workshop. The extractor is powered by a 1.5kW (2hp) motor, which provides plenty of power but runs happily on a domestic 13A supply.
Plus, fitted with a handy filter cartridge handle, you’re able to easily clean the cartridge of any excess debris. Allowing the machine to carry on working efficiently without a build-up of dust in the filter.
