Umqokeleli wothuli lwe-cyclone yenzelwe ukucoca iigesi okanye ulwelo olusuka kumasuntswana amisiweyo.Umgaqo wokucoca u-inertial (usebenzisa amandla e-centrifugal) kunye ne-gravitational.Abaqokeleli bothuli lwe-Cyclone benza elona qela likhulu phakathi kwazo zonke iintlobo zezixhobo zokuqokelela uthuli kwaye zisetyenziswa kuwo onke amashishini.
Umqokeleli wothuli lwe-cyclone uqulunqwe ngumbhobho wokungenisa, umbhobho wokukhupha, isilinda, ikhoni kunye ne-ash hopper.
Umgaqo we-counter-flow cyclone ngolu hlobo lulandelayo: umlambo wegesi enothuli ungeniswa kwi-apparatus ngokusebenzisa umbhobho wokungena kwi-tangentially kwindawo ephezulu.Ukuhamba kwerhasi ejikelezayo kuyenziwa kwisixhobo, esijongiswe ezantsi ukuya kwindawo edibeneyo yesixhobo.Ngenxa ye-inertial force (i-centrifugal force), amasuntswana othuli aqhutyelwa ngaphandle komlambo kwaye ahlale kwiindonga ze-apparatus, emva koko abanjwe ngumlambo wesibini kwaye angene kwindawo engezantsi, ngokuphuma kwi-bin yokuqokelela uthuli.Umjelo werhasi ongenathuli emva koko uye phezulu uphume kwinkanyamba ngombhobho wokukhupha icoaxial.
Iqhagamshelwe kwindawo yokuphuma yomoya yesivalo sesiphelo sosomisi ngombhobho, kwaye ikwasisixhobo sokuqala sokususa uthuli kwirhasi eshushu ngaphakathi kwesomisi.Kukho iintlobo ngeentlobo zezakhiwo ezifana nenkanyamba enye kunye neqela lenkanyamba elinokukhethwa.
