Hydrocyclones

A hydro cyclone is a device to classify, separate or sort particles in a liquid suspension based on the ratio of their centripetal force to fluid resistance. This ratio is high for dense (where separation by density is required) and coarse (where separation by size is required) particles, and low for light and fine particles. Hydro cyclones also find application in the separation of liquids of different densities.

• Reclaim valuable ores by separating light and heavy minerals such as gold, copper and iron ore from feed and tailings
• In pulp and paper mills to remove sand, staples, plastic particles and other contaminants.
• Wash and classify material easily
• Relatively Low cost
• Large capacity per unit area
• Simple Structure and High Volume
• Amenability to computerized control
