Carbatec In-Line Cyclone Separator: Keep Your Suction Strong and Your Filter Clean
Ever notice how your dust collector loses puff as the day wears on? As chips and shavings pack into the filter or bag, airflow drops, suction fades, and you spend more time emptying and cleaning than actually working timber. The Carbatec In-Line Cyclone Separator solves that at the source. It sits between your machines and your existing collector, spinning out the bulk of your chips and shavings before they ever reach the filter. The result is stronger, more consistent suction and far less filter cleaning.
Better still, it turns your single-stage collector into a proper two-stage system, with no extra motor to run and no separate support frame to build.
Key Features
- Unpowered cyclone separation: Draws on the suction from your existing dust collector to spin out chips and shavings, so there's no second motor to buy, wire or maintain.
- Direct-to-drum mounting: The cyclone clips straight onto the collection barrel, giving you a compact, tidy setup without a separate support frame.
- Mobile collection barrel: Castors let you roll the whole assembly wherever the work is, so you can shift dust collection around the workshop with ease.
- Negative-pressure bag retention: The system holds the plastic collection bag firmly against the inside of the barrel, stopping it collapsing or fouling the airflow mid-cut.
- 100 L collection capacity: Plenty of room for chips, shavings and dust to build up before they reach your main collector, so you empty far less often.
- Viewing window: A clear window lets you check the fill level at a glance, so you always know when it's time to empty.
- Flexible connections: A 5" inlet with a 2 x 4" Y fitting lets you link multiple machines or lines, while the 5" or 4" outlet suits your existing setup.
- Reduced filter loading: By catching the bulk of the debris first, the separator keeps your collector's filter cleaner and its airflow stronger for longer.

- Woodworkers wanting to boost the performance of an existing dust collection system.

- Thicknessers, planers, table saws, bandsaws and other machines running off a central collection line.
- Cutting down the amount of material that reaches your collector's filter or bag.
- Shops that want a compact, mobile dust separation setup without the bulk of a fixed frame.

A quick tip: run your largest, chippiest machines like the thicknesser and planer through the separator first, and keep an eye on that viewing window. Emptying the barrel before it fills right up keeps the cyclone spinning efficiently and stops any carry-over into your collector.
