There, they lose speed and spiral downward. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Discharge:<\/strong> The dust is discharged at the bottom, while the pre-cleaned air exits the cyclone at the top through the vortex finder.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The larger and heavier a particle is, the more reliably it is separated. The cyclone reliably removes coarse and medium fractions from the airstream.
