A rotary dust collector has been developed that works on the principle of a centrifugal separator. A feature of its design is the presence of a bypass recirculation channel of cleaned air with a flow regulator, two outlet pipes with flow uncoilers in the form of spiral channels. The calculation of the motion of dust particles with a density of 3000 kg/m3 and a diameter of 1 to 100 microns has been performed. Research has been carried out to improve the efficiency of the apparatus using a central compositional plan and to establish rational design and operating parameters of the mixer for recirculating and purified air.
