Workshop vac dust interceptor

[KevM]

I use a Dust Deputy cyclone on top of a 60 litre blue food bin with my workshop vac. Today on removing the bag I had my usual wrestling match to get the bag out of the bin, the drum shape tends to make the bag wedge in place, so I end up inverting the whole shooting match into another bag and giving it a good shake.

Does anybody else use this set-up, if so do you bother with bin liners? I'm tempted to dispense with the liners and just empty into a bin liner when it's full.

Cheers, Kev

Like this, it's quite a subtle taper, but it's enough for the bag to jam in place.

Try putting a hole in the bottom of the bin to relieve the vacuum, it works on my pedal bin.

I've never bothered with a bag in my Dust Deputy, I simply put a bin bag over the full drum, tip it upside down & the rubbish falling into the bag sucks the side of the bag tight to the drum so no dust escapes. I leave it on the floor upside down for a few minutes to let the dust inside settled in the bag & then remove the drum & refit it.

Where did you get your blue drum, please?

Steve, I think I bought the drum from Solent Plastics, but you can find them on eBay pretty readily.

If you buy one of those Steve you'll have the same problem, buy a straight sided one! :lol:

I have mounted my Thein seperator on top of one of these, but I don't use a bag. When it's full, the airtight lid goes on and I take it to the tip.

Cheers
