GTEK Hydrocyclone Description. Hydrocyclone is a continuous device that utilizes centrifugal force to accelerate the settling rate of particles. When feed slurry enters the hydrocyclone tangentially under pressure, as result of the high centrifugal forces, particles coarser than the "cut point" size migrate into a primary vortex adjacent to the wall and move forward to discharge …
Hydrocyclones also find application in the separation of liquids of different densities. A different description: A hydrocyclone is a mechanical device designed to reduce or increase the concentration of a dispersed phase, solid, liquid or gas of different density, by means of centripetal forces or centrifugal forces within a vortex.
Hydrocyclones separate solids or gases from liquids or separate liquid mixtures. See our products for the Hydrocyclone including multiple arrangements and the Miniclone too.
SWECO Hydrocyclone Systems provide an economical and effective method for removing solid particles in the 4 to 100+ micron range from various slurries. Hydrocyclones typically make finer separations than are practical with screening separators and at significantly higher capacities.
Hydrocyclone is a kind of equipment used for grading the ore pulp by using centrifugal force. Due to it that the strength of the centrifugal field is higher than that of the gravitational field, the separation efficiency of the hydrocyclone is higher than that of a gravity classifying device. 2.Normally, if there is no special requirement, the ...
The Principle of Operation of Hydrocyclone is, in simple terms, the forces of gravity and centrifuge to separate large or heavy particles from smaller and lighter one. When sized correctly will “cut” like the ‘real cyclone’ below VS the imaginary ‘ideal’ one on the left.
Hydrocyclones can separate almost any type ofsolid particles. The price, setup, and operation ofhydrocyclones is low and simple, and maintenance is minimal. In addition, the size ofa hydrocyclone is small relative to other separation devices. The overall goal ofthis research program is to determine how to efficiently separate

modification of the conventional hydrocyclone (Barrozo et al., 1992). The conical section of a hydrocyclone ofBradley’s design was replaced by a conical filtering wall. The resulting equipment was denominated the filtering hydrocyclone. The hydrocyclone separates solid and liquid or liquid and liquid by the difference in density between
