One customer told us that their dust collection system had a very weak suction on the grinding process line, and we went to their workshop on-schedule to do troubleshooting. Introduction of the dust collection system The dusty air from the plastic grinder first ran through a cyclone and the separated dust from the cyclone directly went back to the process; the airflow with fine particles from the cyclone went to a cartridge dust collector, and then the filtered air was released to outside of the building.
