Hydrocyclone

Hydrocyclone is used to separate or sort particles in liquid with different densities of the particles and may be used to separate liquids from solids. Hydrocyclone can also be used to separate liquids of different density. B. M. Industries manufactures, exports, and supplies the best quality Hydrocyclone. Our Hydrocyclones are widely appreciated for their high performance and longer service life.
Construction and Working :
A Hydrocyclone has a cylindrical section at the top where liquid is being fed, and a base. The angle, and hence length of the conical section, plays a role in determining operating characteristics. It has two exits on the axis: the smaller on the bottom (underflow or reject) and a larger at the top (overflow or accept). The underflow is generally the denser or thicker fraction, while the overflow is the lighter or more fluid fraction. Internally, centrifugal force is countered by the resistance of the liquid, with the effect that larger or denser particles are transported to the wall for eventual exit at the reject side with a limited amount of liquid, while the finest, or less dense particles, remain in the liquid and exit through the overflow side through a tube extending slightly into the body of the cyclone at the center. Forward Hydrocyclone remove particles that are denser than the surrounding fluid, while reverse hydro cyclones remove particles that are less dense than the surrounding fluid. In a reverse Hydro Cyclone the overflow is at the apex and the underflow at the base.
