Shredder centrifugal separator

A centrifugal separator system for separating particulate matter received from an adjoining shredder machine, comprising:

• a frame;
• a housing mounted to the frame having a cylindrical sidewall defining an interior chamber, said interior chamber having a conical shape decreasing in diameter from a top wall to a bottom aperture;
• a chamber inlet positioned tangentially relative to said sidewall juxtapositioned to said top wall, and constructed to introduce an airstream from an industrial shredding machine into said chamber in a tangential direction to create a vortex flow, said vortex flow causing centrifugal separation of particles from the air, wherein heavier particles are displaced radially outward toward said sidewall and slide downward along said sidewall through a discharge outlet;
• a top outlet centrally located in said top wall for discharge of air substantially free of particles larger than a few microns, said discharge of air directed through a HEPA filter;
• a first silo coupled to a lower edge of said housing, said first silo constructed and arranged to decelerate said separated particles expelled through said discharge outlet;
• a rotary valve coupled to said first silo and configured to act as an airlock between zones to maintain pressure levels;
• a second silo coupled to a lower end of said rotary valve, said second silo having a plurality of protrusions along an outer surface, and an inner surface to allow passage of particles received through said rotary valve;
• a bag holder having side wall including a plurality of slots for releasably securing to said plurality of protrusions;
• and a collection bag securable to said bag holder;
• a blower to transfer particles from said adjoining shredder machine to said chamber inlet;
• and
• a ramp constructed and arranged to support the collection bag;
• wherein said collection bag is available for ease of disposal of large particles and said HEPA filter is available to captures smaller particles namely dust.
