Wheelie Bin Dust Separator
I had a spare wheelie bin and decided to try it as a dust separator. I cut two x 100 mm holes in the lid and fixed two pieces of plastic conduit as an inlet and outlet. the lid was sealed using a rubber door seal and I had intended to fix a latch to hold the lid down. However, the first test proved that the lid will seal itself under the suction.
The bin does not show any tendency to deform when in use and I reckon that it takes up less room and will be easier to empty than a 44 gal steel drum.
