hydrocyclone

Usage and application:

Hydrocyclones are used for grading, desliming and concentration. Hydrocyclone is a device that utilizes centrifugal force to accelerate the settling rate of particles. It is one of the most important devices in the minerals industry, its main use in mineral processing being as a classifier, which has proved extremely efficient at fine separation size.

Working principle:

When the two-phase (or three-phase) mixture to be separated enters the cyclone at a certain pressure from the feeding port of the cyclone, a strong three-dimensional elliptical strong rotating shear is generated. Cut turbulent motion. Due to the different density of the particles, the centrifugal force, centripetal buoyancy, and fluid drag force are different. Due to centrifugal sedimentation, most of the coarse particles (or heavy phases) are discharged through the swirler bottom outlet, and most of the fine particles ( Or light phase) discharged from the overflow pipe to achieve separation and classification.

Features:

1. Simple structure, light and flexible, no moving parts;

2. Low cost, easy assembly and disassembly, convenient repair, small occupation area, low construction cost;

3. Large unit volume processing capacity;

4. Fine granularity, to about 10 μ m;

5. High efficiency grading, sometimes to be as high as about 80%;

6. Pulp in the cyclone with little time and the little amount remaining, easy to handle for downtime.
