Abstract
The need for effective dust collection systems in industrial settings is becoming more
critical as industries face stricter environmental regulations, rising energy costs, and increasing
expectations for workplace safety and operational efficiency. This study explores the design
and automation of a cyclone-based dust collection system, focusing on the integration of
programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to optimize performance.
Cyclone separators are widely used for their ability to remove large dust particles using
centrifugal force. Although simple in design, their performance can be significantly improved
when combined with smart control systems. This project integrates Siemens S7-300 PLCs and
STEP 7/WinCC software to automate and monitor the dust removal process. The result is a
system capable of reducing energy consumption, improving filtration efficiency, and ensuring
compliance with environmental standards.
