The cylindrical cone structure of the cyclone determines the boundary structure of the main flow field and affects the separation accuracy and classification efficiency of the cyclone. Hydrocyclones are popular with consumers due to the high grading efficiency, small footprint, and low price. Besides the mineral classification, hydro cyclones can also be used for sewage treatment, slurry concentration, desliming and oil-water separation.

Cyclone structure cyclone

The cyclone is mainly composed of an overflow elbow, a feed box, a cylindrical shell, an upper cone shell, and a sand sink shell of the lower cone.

What is the proper cyclone cone angle?

For the cyclone of the same specification, the cone with a large cone angle is shorter, and the separation time of the material in it is also short. The smaller the cone angle, the longer the cone, and the longer the separation time of the material in it. Therefore, the size of the cone angle determines the length of the separation time, which not only affects its production capacity and separation efficiency, but also affects its separation particle size. The separation particle size of the cyclone is related to the cone angle. The smaller the cone angle, the smaller the separation particle size of the cyclone. On the contrary, the larger the separation particle size.

When the processing volume is too large, the circulating load will be too large, the grit nozzle will be frequently blocked, the overflow will run thick and the grit will be fine, which will affect its separation particle size and productivity. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the grinding cycle load, solve the problem of frequent clogging of the grit nozzle of the cyclone, and ensure the stable and smooth production process; improve the classification efficiency of the cyclone and reduce the phenomenon of overflow and runaway.
