Hydrocyclones are widely used in mineral processing for classification, desliming, and concentration. Slurry is fed tangentially under pressure, creating a high-speed rotating flow field inside the cyclone. Coarse particles migrate toward the wall and discharge through the underflow, while fine particles exit through the overflow — achieving continuous separation with no mechanical moving parts. Simple in structure and reliable in operation, hydrocyclones deliver efficient, low-maintenance performance for modern mineral processing circuits.
FAQ for Hydrocyclones
Slurry is fed tangentially into the hydrocyclone under pressure, creating a high-speed rotating flow field inside the cone. Coarse particles migrate toward the wall under centrifugal force and are discharged through the underflow as the outer vortex. Fine particles are carried inward and exit through the overflow as the inner vortex, enabling continuous separation with no mechanical moving parts.
Hydrocyclone performance is mainly influenced by a combination of operating and design parameters, including feed pressure, slurry concentration, feed flow rate, particle size distribution, and cyclone geometry such as diameter, cone angle, inlet size, vortex finder size and depth, and spigot diameter.
