HYDROCYCLONES

Hydrocyclones are used for separating products in aqueous solutions based on gravity differences. This technique is being performed by a highly efficient and low-cost machine that can be used either as a mineral concentrator or as a desander. Hydrocyclones have no moving parts and only consist of the cylindrical part that extends downwards to the apex and the conical part that ends with an opening of the desired size. The outlet and vortex finder are located on the upper side, whereas the feed in an aqueous solution tangentially enters the cyclone and centrifugal force draws heavier particles to the wall, while lighter particles and most of the water exit on the top. Slurry density and entry speed, gravity differences between products, and hydro-cyclone geometry all have a significant impact on separation efficiency. TH Re-MINING provides testing on a variety of hydrocyclones of different sizes, producers, and feeding pump types.
