A cyclone separator ( 40 ) includes a housing ( 42 ), in which a cyclone assembly ( 10 ) is contained. The housing ( 42 ) has an inflow chamber ( 44 ), an overflow chamber ( 46 ) and a discharge chamber ( 48 ). The cyclone assembly ( 10 ) has an inner cyclone liner ( 16 ) positioned concentrically within a cyclone chamber ( 12 ). A displacement means ( 52 ) is provided for displacing the inner cyclone liner ( 16 ) axially from an operative position in the cyclone chamber ( 12 ) to an inoperative position in the overflow chamber ( 46 ) of the housing ( 42 ). The cyclone chamber ( 12 ) has a larger internal diameter than the inner cyclone liner ( 16 ), therefore, when the inner cyclone liner is moved to the inoperative position, the flowrate through the cyclone assembly is increased.
