precipitators

Devices capturing particles

Precipitators are devices or agents that cause something to separate out or fall from a mixture.

The term most commonly refers to electrostatic precipitators, industrial equipment that removes particles like dust, smoke, or ash from exhaust gases by giving them an electrical charge.

The factory installed new precipitators to reduce emissions.

More broadly, a precipitator can be anything that brings about a sudden result or hastens an outcome.
