Abstract:
A vacuum installation comprises a vacuum chamber having an inlet for aspirating a quantity of liquid or particulate material. A cyclone separation unit comprising a plurality of cyclones, communicating in parallel with the interior of the vacuum chamber is connected to a vacuum pump to draw air from the vacuum chamber through the cyclones and induce a separating vortex flow within the cyclones. A controller is arranged to control the vacuum pump to provide a chosen flow rate and to selectively deactivate one or more of the cyclones according to the chosen flow rate.

Claim (Index 16):
A method of operating a vacuum installation to aspirate a quantity of liquid or particulate material in an industrial application, the vacuum installation comprising a vacuum pump and a plurality of cyclones, communicating in parallel to each other with the interior of a vacuum chamber having an inlet for aspiration of the material, the method comprising:\n operating the vacuum pump to provide a desired flow rate through the inlet; selectively deactivating one or more of the cyclones; and back flushing the one or more deactivated cyclones in order to clean at least part of the flow path.
