What Is a Hydrocyclone?

Hydrocyclone is a classification device that uses centrifugal force to accelerate the settlement of ore particles. It requires pressure to feed the mine, so it consumes a lot of power, but it has a small footprint, cheap price, large processing capacity, high classification efficiency, and can obtain very fine overflow products, which are mostly used in the second-stage closed-circuit grinding equipment.

Hydrocyclones first appeared in the Netherlands in the late 1930s.

The hydrocyclone is a high-efficiency classifying and desliming equipment. Because of its simple structure, easy manufacture, and large processing capacity, it has been widely used at home and abroad. Its main disadvantages are its high power consumption and high pressure feed. Severe wear during mining. Use new

Hydrocyclone is a device used to separate and remove heavier coarse particles such as sand and mud in sewage. Sometimes used for mud dehydration. There are two types of pressure type and gravity type, which are usually made of round cylindrical structures or metal pipes. Water enters along the tangent line from the upper part of the structure (or metal pipe) by pressure or gravity. Under the action of centrifugal force, the coarse particulate matter is thrown to the wall of the device and rotated downward to discharge with the concentrated liquid. smaller

The hydrocyclone consists of a hollow cylinder in the upper part and an inverted cone connected to the cylinder in the lower part. The two constitute the working cylinder of the hydrocyclone. In addition, the hydrocyclone also has a feed pipe,

In the normal production of hydrocyclone, the movement of fluid is divided into the following types.

Outer and inner swirl

External swirl and internal swirl are the main forms of hydrocyclone motion. They rotate in the same direction, but their

Hydraulic cyclone unit parameters include structural parameters and operating parameters.

Structural parameters

(1) Hydrocyclone diameter: The diameter of the hydrocyclone mainly affects the production capacity and the size of the separation particle size. Generally speaking, production capacity and separation size increase with the diameter of the hydrocyclone.

(2) Inlet pipe diameter Di: the size of the inlet is related to the processing capacity, classification granularity and
