Abstract: This invention relates to a device at a dust filter for cleaning a gas flow from dust. The dust filter consists of an electrostatic precipitator or fabric filter (bag filter) and comprises a filter chamber (10) with gas inlet (12) and gas outlet (13). At the gas inlet a precollector (30) in the form of a louvre collector (31) is located for separating coarse dust, i.e. dust with a diameter exceeding 50-75 microns. In the order to obtain good collection at the louvre collector (31), the collected dust is evacuated by means of a partial gas flow, which is passed to a dust hopper (34) and a dust discharge unit (35). According to the invention, the dust discharge unit (35) comprises a cyclone collector (36), the inlet portion (37) of which is integrated with the dust hopper (34), and the outlet portion of which or central pipe (38) is formed with a passageway (39), the mouth (40) of which is located in the filter chamber downstream the louvre collector.
