Operating principle
Many people know what construction debris is and how difficult it is to remove it, especially in industrial scale. There are special ones on the market construction vacuum cleaners, which have high power compared to household ones, but at the same time have large dimensions and a considerable price. Therefore, masters of their craft create cyclone-type chip extractors with their own hands, thereby improving their household vacuum cleaners and making their work easier.
The filter is a structure of two compartments: external and internal. Under the influence of centrifugal force, all debris entering the dust collector is based on cyclone principle sorted into large and small particles.
About filters: The cyclone filter does not retain more than 97% of dust. Therefore, additional filters are often added to them. “HEPA” is translated from English as “High Efficiency Particulate Air” - a filter for airborne particles.
Agree that even you cannot imagine your life without such necessary equipment like a vacuum cleaner? They cope not only with dust, but also with dirt.
Of course, vacuum cleaners can be used not only at home, but they also come in different types: battery-powered, washing, and pneumatic. As well as automobile, low-voltage industrial, backpack, gasoline, etc.
James Dyson is the first creator of the cyclone vacuum cleaner. His first creation was G-Force in 1986.
A little later in the 1990s, he submitted a request to manufacture cyclone devices and had already assembled his own center for the creation of vacuum cleaners. In 1993, his first vacuum cleaner, known as the “Dayson DC01,” went on sale. So, how does this cyclone-type miracle work?
It appears that the creator, James Dyson, was a remarkable physicist. Thanks to centrifugal force, it is involved in collecting dust.
The device has two chambers and is divided into two types - external and internal. The air that spins inside the dust collector moves upward, as if in a spiral.
According to the law, large dust particles fall into the outer chamber, and everything else remains in the inner chamber. And the purified air leaves the dust collector through filters. Here's how cyclone filter vacuum cleaners work.
Do not opt for those models that require little power. You will definitely not like this kind of cleaning and most likely, you will want to throw away such a device.
Interesting! How to cook semi-automatically with carbon dioxide, here!
Don't waste your money, but take a more serious approach to buying a vacuum cleaner. You just have to contact the sales consultant and he will help you with choosing a particular vacuum cleaner.
You should choose a device that is 20-30% more powerful than a bagged vacuum cleaner. It is best to take the one with a power of 1800 W. Almost all vacuum cleaner manufacturers produce models with this filter, which is good news.
1. This has probably happened to everyone, when an item you accidentally needed ended up in the dust collector? Now this is not a problem because it is transparent! And you will always be able to notice objects that need to be pulled out of there as soon as possible.
This is one of the most important advantages.
2. The power of such vacuum cleaners is maximum and does not reduce speed and power, even when the container is clogged. Cleaning is much more pleasant, power does not drop, cleaning is cleaner.
This vacuum cleaner is capable of holding much more than you imagine. Up to 97%!!! Not likely, right? Although some are dissatisfied with this result, as they prefer vacuum cleaners with a water filter.
4. There is no need to constantly change paper bags for the vacuum cleaner.
5. Power. She is not lost from fullness.
6. It can be washed thoroughly with water and dried.
1. One of the disadvantages of these vacuum cleaners is not very pleasant. This is washing and cleaning the filter. Of course, you won’t have to clean the container with a brush every day, but still, this is one of the disadvantages. Laziness is present in every person. Yes, of course it’s unpleasant to face the fact that you need to get your hands dirty.
2. Noise. There is much more noise from this type of vacuum cleaner than from a regular one.
3. Energy consumption. It is also much higher than that of a conventional vacuum cleaner. It's a small tornado.
It's up to you to decide whether to buy this little miracle or not. In fact, all its advantages outweigh its few shortcomings. A clean house is much nicer than a half-finished tidy, wouldn’t you agree?
Personal impressions
Compared to an old vacuum cleaner, the cyclonic dust collector looks quite modest in size. It is impossible to believe that such a little thing is capable of something serious. Now the old vacuum cleaner can only be used for wet cleaning.
When I use it for the first time, I take out the accessories, insert a small diameter pipe, turn on the device, and what’s really surprising is that the brush cleans the carpets much better than my previous assistant.
He cleans everything. Dirt, hair from our pets. Previously, you had to make a lot of effort to cope with such “now little things”.
I have laminated flooring in my hallway and it was just as easy to clean. The fact is that I have another brush in stock, tougher than the previous one for carpets, so I coped with this task so easily. You know, the sound of this vacuum cleaner is not as loud as they wrote about it on the Internet.
I am pleased with this device because it is light and not so loud. I also liked the compartment for storing everything the necessary attachments, it is very convenient that it is built into the vacuum cleaner itself.
Once I knew what this little tornado could do, it was time to clean out the container. Thank God, when I started shaking out the garbage from the dust collector, it fell in dense, large clumps.
Since the debris was compacted by the air flow. No clouds of dust were visible, and it did not rise into the air! So I finished my first cleaning with my cyclone vacuum cleaner. I rinsed the container and that was the end of the cleaning!
All vacuum cleaners are designed for one purpose - cleanliness. We are talking about all vacuum cleaners. Industrial and construction vacuum cleaners are usually used on machines or for cleaning any premises. These vacuum cleaners are quite expensive, since the operating principle of the cyclone filter vacuum cleaner must be selected carefully.
You should also know that industrial devices are most often used during repairs and construction. Leave yours workplace needs to be clean.
Making a cyclone filter for a vacuum cleaner with your own hands - A selection of excellent videos from
If a person has his own workshop, then one of the most important issues is cleaning the premises.
But unlike cleaning dust in an apartment, a regular household vacuum cleaner will not help here, since it is not designed for construction waste and sawdust - its garbage container (dust container or bag) will very quickly become clogged and become unusable. Therefore, they often use a homemade cyclone filter, which, together with a household vacuum cleaner, will help clean the workshop.
Introduction
Wood dust and other technical debris, although it seems harmless at first glance, actually pose many different dangers, both for the master and for the equipment.
For example, prolonged work without protective equipment that prevents dust from entering the respiratory system can cause serious complications with the respiratory tract, impair the sense of smell, etc.
In addition, a tool that is exposed to dust in a workshop can quickly fail. This happens because:
- dust, mixing with lubricant inside the tool, forms a mixture that is completely unsuitable for lubricating moving parts, which results in overheating and further damage
- dust can make it difficult for the moving parts of the tool to rotate, which leads to additional stress, overheating and failure,
- dust clogs the air ducts designed to ventilate the heated parts of the tool and remove heat from them, again resulting in overheating, deformation and failure.
Thus, the issue of the quality of removal of sawing products and, in general, cleaning of the premises is very acute. Modern power tools are equipped with systems for removing dust and chips directly from the sawing area, which prevents dust from spreading throughout the workshop. In any case, the dust removal process requires a vacuum cleaner (or chip cleaner)!
There are good industrial vacuum cleaners and if possible, it is better to choose the most best option price and quality and buy a construction vacuum cleaner.
However, there are times when you already have a household vacuum cleaner and it is easier to upgrade it and solve the problem of collecting construction waste indoors. To do this, you need to use a cyclone filter - it can be done in half an hour if all the necessary elements are available.
Operating principle
There are a great many different designs of cyclones, but they all share the same operating principle. All designs of cyclone chip suckers consist of three main parts:
- Household vacuum cleaner
- Cyclone filter
- Garbage collection container
Its design is such that the flow of intake air is directed in a circle and it is obtained rotational movement. Accordingly, the construction waste contained in this air flow (these are large and heavy fractions) is acted upon by a centrifugal force, which presses it against the walls of the cyclone chamber and, under the influence of gravity, it gradually settles in the tank.
The disadvantage of a cyclone vacuum cleaner is that in this way you can only collect dry garbage, but if there is water in the garbage, then there will be problems when sucking up such a substance.
The vacuum cleaner must be powerful enough, since in its normal mode of operation it is assumed that air is sucked through a standard hose.
Since the design is as maneuverable as a separate vacuum cleaner, the length of the last hose should be sufficient for comfortable work.
As mentioned above, you can make a cyclone filter for a workshop in half an hour, but to do this you need to check the availability of everything necessary for the production of a chip blower with your own hands, namely: tools, materials and consumables.
To carry out the work, the following tools will be needed:
- electric drill,
- screwdriver,
- jigsaw,
- compass,
- clamps,
- Phillips screwdriver,
- pencil,
- core drill for wood (50-60mm),
- set of drills
Materials and fasteners
Materials can be used both new and used, so carefully review the list below - you may already have something in stock;
- The air duct (hose) for a vacuum cleaner is corrugated or in a textile braid.
- A sewer pipe with a diameter of 50 mm and a length of 100–150 mm, into one of the ends of which the air duct of your household vacuum cleaner should be inserted.
- Sewer outlet 30 or 45 degrees, 100–200 mm long, into one end of which the air duct specified in paragraph 1 will be inserted.
- Plastic bucket (“large”) 11-26 liters with a hermetically sealed lid.
- Bucket (“small”) plastic 5-11 liters. Note. It is important that the difference between the two maximum diameters of the buckets is approximately 60–70 mm.
- A sheet of plywood 15–20 mm thick. Note. The sheet size must be larger than the maximum diameter of the Large Bucket.
- Wood screws with a flat wide head and a length of 2/3 of the thickness of plywood.
- Universal gel sealant.
In addition to a bag or container for collecting dust, any model of vacuum cleaner also has other filter elements.
Additional filters are designed to protect the electric motor compartment from dirt entering it and to clean the air coming out of the vacuum cleaner.
Clogging or damage to any of the filters can result in overheating of the motor and failure of the device. Therefore, it is important to monitor the condition of all vacuum cleaner filters and regularly change them if worn.
Where is the motor filter located in a vacuum cleaner and how often to change it
A modern vacuum cleaner with a classic design has 3 filters:
- The main dust collector (container or bag), which retains more than 99% of all sucked dust;
- Final air purification filter (located at the outlet). It cleans the outgoing air stream from the smallest particles of dust, which may contain various allergens;
- Motor filter. It is located at the entrance to the engine compartment and is designed to protect the engine in case of incorrect operation of the main filter.
Depending on the brand and model of the vacuum cleaner, the design of the motor filter may differ. IN budget options and in models of average price category In most cases, the filter functions are performed by a flat microfilter made of pressed fine-fiber material or sponge.
In more expensive models More common are the so-called HEPA filters (HEPA is an abbreviation for High Efficiency Particulate Absorption, which can be translated as “highly effective dust retention”).
Premium brands, as a rule, equip their vacuum cleaners with filter elements based on activated carbon- they not only trap dust microparticles, but also clean the air from unpleasant odors.
Where is it located? motor filter?
It is installed on the air entry path directly into the vacuum cleaner (between the dust collector and the vacuum cleaner motor).
To remove the motor filter of a Samsung, LG, etc. vacuum cleaner, just open the lid, remove the bag (or remove the container) and pull the filter housing.
How often should the motor filter be changed?
A signal of need engine filter maintenance There will be a decrease in suction power, difficult operation of the engine, and rapid heating of the vacuum cleaner literally immediately after turning it on.
The problem can be temporarily solved by washing or blowing out the filter element.
However, such measures do not have a significant effect, since it is not possible to completely clean the microstructure of the filter.
How do you know if the problem is with the filter?
To do this you need to remove the filter. If without it the suction power is restored and the housing does not heat up, then the filter needs to be replaced.
Is it possible to buy a universal motor filter for a vacuum cleaner?
There is a huge variety of motor filters of different geometric shapes. They can be rectangular, square, round or oval.
At the same time, there are no standards - each model has its own filter dimensions, which significantly complicates the search for the right product.
To find a suitable consumable, you need to know its article number, otherwise there is a high probability that the filter will be the wrong size.
In this regard, it is much easier, faster and cheaper to make the necessary filter element yourself from universal sheet material.
One of the most popular such materials is the canvas from the company Swirl, which is available in sizes 16.8x24 cm.
In terms of its filtering ability, a cloth made of pressed microfiber material is not inferior to the original products.
To make a filter for an electric motor, it is enough to cut out the contour of the desired shape and size with ordinary scissors. Swirl recommends replacing the filter twice a year.
What to make a vacuum cleaner motor filter from
You can make a motor filter for a vacuum cleaner with your own hands not only from the universal Swirl fabric. In stores household appliances Inexpensive sheet filter material is sold under the marking FST 0001.
The sheet size is 28x41 cm; if necessary, you can use it to make a filter of the required shape in a couple of minutes.
To do this you need:
- Remove the old motor filter from the vacuum cleaner and shake off any dust;
- Place the old filter on the filter material;
- Trace along the outline with a marker or pencil;
- Cut out a new filter using scissors;
- Reinstall the filter.
Filter material FST 0001 is suitable for the production of flat filters for any vacuum cleaners.

THOMAS (Yeardley) I read in the Thomas product catalog that the “Bi-Turbo” system is installed, what is it and what advantages does it provide?
Answer:
To save energy and increase the suction power of the vacuum cleaner, unlike most models on the market, a two-stage turbine is installed, i.e. with two impellers on one shaft, which increases suction power by 25-30%
THOMAS (Yeardley) What cleaning concentrates are used for THOMAS vacuum cleaners
Answer:
4 types of cleaning concentrates are used: ProTex - for textile coverings and padded furniture; ProTex-V - for heavily soiled textile coverings; ProTex-M - for the destruction of textile mites; ProFloor - for linoleum, tiles.
THOMAS (Yeardley) What is the best way to clean pipes and hoses after washing carpets?
Answer:
Empty the container dirty water, pour into a bowl clean water, in a volume less than the dirty water capacity in your vacuum cleaner, turn on the suction and suck all the clean water into the vacuum cleaner, then pour it out. Can be repeated several times
THOMAS (Yeardley) How high can the nozzles be raised when cleaning windows?
Answer:
The cleaning solution is supplied with a pressure of 4 Bar (4 excess atmospheres), respectively, the height of the liquid rise will be about 40 meters, we hope that there will be no such high windows.
THOMAS (Yeardley) We purchased a Thomas Twin vacuum cleaner, which attachment can be used to clean windows
Answer:
To wash windows, all THOMAS washing vacuum cleaners use an adapter for hard surfaces, which fits onto the carpet nozzle; some models have an additional special nozzle
THOMAS (Yeardley) What is the consumption of cleaning solution when cleaning carpets?
Answer:
It all depends on the degree of pollution carpets. For light wet cleaning, the consumption is approximately 1 liter of solution per 4-5 square meters. meters of coverage, with thorough washing of the carpet it can increase to 1 liter per 2 square meters. meters.
THOMAS (Yeardley) What area of carpet is enough for one liter of detergent concentrate?
Answer:
Depending on the degree of soiling of the carpet from 120 to 250 square meters
THOMAS (Yeardley) When washing linoleum, water does not completely collect, please explain the reason
Answer:
Please note that the working part of the adapter for hard floors consists of a brush and an elastic band. When moving away from you, lower the pipe a little lower to the floor - the brush works; when moving towards you - on the contrary, lift it up, collecting water with an elastic band
THOMAS (Yeardley) We recently purchased a SUPER 30 S vacuum cleaner, have already used the washing mode several times, the result exceeded all expectations, the carpets are like new. Today we decided to update the furniture, but the connecting hose of the nozzle turned out to be short, what’s the matter?

And if you are the owner of a cat or dog, pay attention to the Vestfalia XT model. This vacuum cleaner comes with a large and convenient turbo brush for dry cleaning. The THOMAS TWIN XT model is available in blue color, THOMAS Vestfalia XT - in black.
THOMAS (Yeardley) I accidentally forgot to pour water into the aquafilter and cleaned the whole apartment in dry mode. Is this very bad for a vacuum cleaner? What should I do now?
Answer:
The aquafilter cannot work without water. This means that all the garbage and all the dust that you collected in your apartment got inside the device without filtration. If you did not forget to install a HEPA filter, then it took the entire blow. And most likely you will have to replace it. You can try cleaning it as described in the instructions for your vacuum cleaner. Then put it in its original place, assemble the device and aquafilter correctly, pour 1 liter of water and turn it on. If the suction power has decreased, the filter will have to be replaced, that is, it was so dirty that cleaning did not help.

Vacuum cleaner - necessary thing in every home. Many people think about the question of how to make a filter for a vacuum cleaner with their own hands. It is already difficult for any housewife to imagine cleaning without using this device. The machines do an excellent job of removing accumulated dirt, and some models also help with wet cleaning.
An important part of a vacuum cleaner is the filters, which are responsible for retaining and collecting debris and dust. Like any thing, they tend to wear out, so every owner of such a device can decide to make a filter with their own hands. IN modern models There are different types of them used - from ordinary bags to specialized ones with additional functions.
Some you can try to make at home. This will cost less than buying a ready-made filter in a store, and will last much longer.
There are several types of such collections:
How to make a water filter for a vacuum cleaner
More often it is called an aqua filter. Nowadays such models are popular in the household appliances market. Their secret is that they not only collect garbage, but also humidify the air without causing unpleasant odors. The only negative is heavy weight vacuum cleaner due to the vessel with water inside, but it is compensated good quality cleaning
The principle of its operation is very simple. With the help of a motor, all debris ends up in a compartment with water, which then needs to be drained.
How to make this type of filter? It’s quite simple if you have all the necessary parts and a work plan.
You will need a separator, water container, fan and pump. The smaller the fan you choose, the less noise it will make. When choosing a pump, keep in mind that the water level in the vessel will rise by almost a centimeter. Choose all fasteners with zinc coating. Don't forget about the built-in turbo brush, it will help thoroughly clean carpets. To get a good result, carry out the work in stages:
- Install the dust collector casing, storage tank and disintegrant.
- Attach the pump with a rubber ring. Watch the gaps between the housing parts.
- To make the vacuum cleaner as silent as possible, stick polyethylene on the bottom.
- Before use, pour water strictly according to the marks on the container.
There are other ways to create an aqua filter. Maximum effort and desire - and you will do it quality work, which will be beneficial for a long time.
DIY cyclone filter for vacuum cleaner
The cyclone filter has remained popular for over 30 years. The advantage is the absence of dust bags, while it is almost silent and compact. It is also much lighter than its “aquatic” counterparts. But the downside is that cleaning such a filter is quite difficult.
This model is used both for cleaning the house and in construction. Sawdust, shavings, and large debris will not be a problem for the device. The secret of power lies in the way it works.
Dirt, under the influence of centrifugal force, begins to move in a spiral, which causes large debris to fall into the outer chamber, and small debris to remain inside. As a result, the vacuum cleaner will not pollute the air.
There are 2 ways to assemble a cyclone filter.
Assembly method No. 1
You will need:
- plumbing pipe— 1 m;
- five-liter bucket with a tight lid;
- polypropylene elbow (angles 45 and 90 degrees) for creating brackets;
- corrugated pipe - 2 m;
- nylon stocking;
- sealed glue;
- plywood.
Getting the job done.
Attach a bracket to the lid of the bucket (make it from steel strips) to air filter. Make sure that its connection is tight so that contaminated air does not penetrate into the outlet pipe in the future.
Attach the outlet tube firmly to the top. The air flow will pass through it into the vacuum cleaner. Leave the membrane from the vacuum cleaner, this will help save the fan from severe contamination. Place a debris trap around the filter (made from galvanized sheet metal). Pull the nylon stocking, it will protect against small debris. Next, place the corrugated tube along the side wall and tilt it towards the bottom. Reinforce the walls of the bucket with steel strip.
Tip: Instead of a bucket, use a plastic barrel or tin container.
Use sealing adhesive on all seams.
Assembly method No. 2
You will need:
- traffic cone (can be purchased at a car supply store);
- dense plastic container with a sealed lid;
- 2 corrugated pipes - 2 m each;
- nuts and washers - 8-10 mm;
- 2 rods (length - 2 m, width - 8 mm).
Getting the job done.
As a container for collecting dust, we use a plastic jar with thick walls and a tight lid. This is important to ensure that there are no leaks, which can subsequently adversely affect the performance of the vacuum cleaner.
Cut off the bottom of the traffic cone and cut out a plywood cover in the hole. We insert it into it corrugated pipe(you can use a regular plastic one), which should be lowered to the middle of the cone, otherwise a lot of debris will get into it.
We install the upper part of the cone tightly into a plywood circle connected to the lid of the garbage container. We attach a pipe to the upper cut, into which air with dust and dirt will enter.
Let's move on to connecting the filter to the vacuum cleaner.
We connect the outlet pipe to the inlet of the vacuum cleaner with a hose, and attach a hose that collects debris to the intake pipe.
Tip: If you can't find a traffic cone, make your own by cutting it out of sheet metal or an old galvanized bucket. Instead of a cone shape, you can use a cylinder (polyethylene pipe).
By spending a couple of evenings and a little effort, you can turn your regular vacuum cleaner into a more modern version, thereby providing your household with reliable devices and making life easier for the owner of the house. If desired, the device can have more than one filter. The main thing is to use materials that do not require high costs, and follow the instructions provided. In any case, if it doesn’t work out the first time, it will definitely work out the second time.
A vacuum cleaner is found in almost every home today. It is difficult to imagine high-quality cleaning without using this device.
Vacuum cleaners effectively collect fine dust and household waste; some are capable of performing wet cleaning, eliminating the need to wash the floor in the traditional way.
In order for the device to cope with its tasks, they are equipped with containers in which trash is collected. They are also called filters.
The filter in the device is responsible for collecting and retaining dust and debris. Modern household vacuum cleaners use different types filters, with different properties and features.
Some people prefer regular dust collection bags, which are simply thrown away after use, while others buy water or cyclone bags. Some of these filters can be made by yourself.
We offer ready-made instructions, detailed drawings for assembling vacuum cleaners with homemade filters. All parts can be purchased separately, so the cost homemade device It will turn out to be several times cheaper than the factory one. At the same time, if the technology is followed, it is possible to achieve high power, and good absorption.
Some craftsmen even make DIY filters for Lg vacuum cleaners. We will look at ways to create a cyclone and water filter. They are available for sale at home. The manufactured devices are useful not only for cleaning the apartment or country house, but also at a construction site, for example, for collecting construction waste.
First cyclone vacuum cleaner invented by James Dyson in 1986. A few years later, he organized his own production, and the first samples went on sale, quickly gaining popularity.
Under the influence of centrifugal force, dust and debris entering such a vacuum cleaner begin to move in a spiral. Large debris penetrates the outer chamber, while small debris remains in the inner part. Clean air comes out of the vacuum cleaner.
Additionally, the devices are equipped with a HEPA filter, which helps improve the quality of cleaning. As a result, such a device is capable of collecting up to 98% of dust and small debris.
The advantages of such a vacuum cleaner include the absence of dust bags, compactness, and quiet operation. The dust collection housing is transparent, so you can easily monitor the level of contamination.
Such vacuum cleaners are much lighter and more mobile than their “water” competitors. True, you will have to spend a lot of time cleaning the filters, and besides, such a device consumes an order of magnitude more electricity than a conventional vacuum cleaner.
Devices of this type are used not only in everyday life, but also in construction and production for cleaning metal shavings, sawdust, concrete dust and other construction waste. Industrial vacuum cleaners are more powerful and spacious. They will collect large debris, while a household vacuum cleaner will immediately break down.
Even small debris in the form of shavings, sand, dry mixtures cannot be collected with a simple vacuum cleaner, only with a specialized industrial one. Moreover, such vacuum cleaners differ in type depending on the debris that it can collect.
VIDEO ON THE TOPIC OF THE ARTICLE
Let's look at two simple ways to make this type of filter
Option 1
To work you will need:
— oil filter to retain fine dust (sold in automotive stores),
- 20 liter bucket with a well-closing lid,
- one polypropylene elbow with angles of 45 and 90 degrees,
- meter plumbing pipe,
- two-meter corrugated pipe.
Operating procedure:
- Make a hole in the center of the bucket lid at a 90 degree angle. Here you need to connect the vacuum cleaner in the future.
- Fill the cracks with sealant.
- Make a hole on the side of the bucket and install a corner.
- The corrugation and the elbow will be connected by a pipe.
- To make the filter last longer, put nylon tights on it.
- Connect the elbow in the bucket lid and the filter outlet.
If the filter cannot be placed on the outlet pipe, you can use a rubber hose. It is recommended to use sealant to seal all connections.
Instead of a bucket you can use plastic barrel or a tin container.
Option 2
To make this you need a traffic cone.
VIDEO
To work you need:
Operating procedure:
- Cut off the base of the cone and insert it upside down into the bucket.
- Insert the tube into the bucket. Fill the space between the tube and the cone with construction foam.
- Cut a square from a sheet of plywood 20 mm thick. It should be of such a size that the base of the cone fits on it, leaving a small margin.
- Make holes with a diameter of 8 mm in the corners of the plywood square. Another hole is needed in the center for a tube on which a corrugated hose will be placed to secure the filter and the vacuum cleaner.
- Use a sheet of durable multi-layer plywood as a lid for the bucket. It should be firmly attached to the bucket. The edges of the sheet are covered with a layer of rubber.
- Make a hole in the lid to install the narrow end of the cone.
- The cone installed in the lid is fixed with foam and four rods.
- In the wide part of the base of the cone, make a hole for a tube that will connect to a corrugated hose. Debris from outside will subsequently flow through this hose.
In this model DIY cyclone no filter provided fine cleaning, so small debris will penetrate into the turbine.
How to make a homemade water filter for a vacuum cleaner
Modern devices with an aqua filter are not cheap, so you can try to save some money by making such a device yourself at home.
The popularity of water filters is understandable. They not only effectively collect dust, but also humidify the air and do not cause unpleasant odors.
The principle of operation of the device is simple - the motor forces air into the compartment with liquid, where all the dirt and dust remain.
VIDEO
- Before you begin, you need to prepare a separator and a container for water.
- A fan and pump are also selected.
- Fans differ from each other in noise levels. The smaller it is, the better.
- The pump is selected based on the fact that the water level will rise by 0.7 m.
- The device is assembled according to pre-made drawings.
- It is better to take fasteners for a vacuum cleaner with a zinc coating.
Assembly is carried out in stages.
- First, install the dust collector, then the baking powder, then the storage tank and casing.
- There should not be large gaps between the parts. To make the vacuum cleaner work silently, it is recommended to glue a polyethylene mat to the bottom.
Before starting operation, you need to pour water into the vessel clearly according to the markings.
Manufacturing homemade water filter for vacuum cleaner- the task is not easy. But if you make every effort, you will get a high-quality and reliable unit that will be useful at home or in the country.
