Has anyone here tried something like this? (from Penn State Industries)

They claim "The Premium recirculation system uses the power of your cyclone to vacuum the fine dust from your cleanout can. With this system over 99% of the fine dust will be captured in the cyclone's main debris drum. The 4" hose connects from the input of the cyclone body to the filter can's 4" blast gate. Simply open the gate to your cleanout can for a minute and the dust from the can will be re-circulated through the cyclone and deposited into the trash barrel."
Does this make any sense? I thought the fine dust from the filters would simply tend to pass through the cyclone and go back into the filter stack.
It seems some negative pressure inside the filters could dislodge dust that had collected on the internal filter pleat surface, but I can't see how that could happen with this recirculating method. It might pick up dust that has already collected in the cleanout box
