Abstract: A high efficiency compact gas-particulate separator is provided comprising: a bag filter disposed above and a cyclone disposed below,the bag filter including: a casing, a compressed air header into the casing; a diaphragm valve on the header; a blow tube connected to the header; a venturi for accelerating an ejected jet of compressed air from the blow tube and for inducing an inflow of secondary air; and a filter bag for collecting dusts mounted in the casing; the casing having a clean air outlet, andthe cyclone including: a dust-laden gas inlet; an outer cylinder for generating a centrifugal force, the cylinder being connected to the casing; an inner tube for letting a dust-laden gas pass from below upward into the casing; and a dust hopper for storing dust particles captured by centrifugal forces and dislodged dust cakes removed from the filter bag by cleaning.
