The hydro cyclone separator is a kind of separation and classification equipment for mixed slurry, and its working principle is centrifugal sedimentation. The mixed slurry to be separated enters the cyclone under the pressure of the pump to form a strong rotating turbulent motion. Under the action of gravity and centrifugal force, the separation of particles and liquid, heavy particles, and light particles are completed.

Structural components of the cyclone

The working principle of the cyclone determines that the structure of the cyclone is relatively simple. The components of the cyclone mainly include a cylinder, a feed pipe, an overflow pipe, an overflow pipe, and a sand settling port. The cylinder of the cyclone is composed of a hollow cylinder in the upper part and an inverted cone in the lower part. This structure is conducive to the rotation of the water flow.

The working process of the cyclone

The cyclone itself has no power components, so it should be used in conjunction with pumps and other power mechanisms. The slurry is driven by the power of the pump to spin into the cyclone along the tangential direction of the cylinder at a certain pressure and flow rate. Then the slurry rotates along the wall of the cylinder at a very fast speed and generates centrifugal force. Under the action of centrifugal sedimentation, the separation of the slurry can be completed.

The working purpose of the cyclone

Cyclone is also mostly used for grading, sorting, thickening, and desliming of ore slurry. When the cyclone is used as grading equipment, it is mainly matched with the mill to form a grinding and grading system. In addition, cyclones are mostly used for desliming in gravity separation plants, and for dewatering in tailings treatment.

Application advantages of cyclones

The application advantage of the cyclone is that it has no moving parts inside, so the structure is simple and easy to use. Compared with other separation equipment, the cyclone has a higher classification efficiency, which can reach more than 80%. In addition, the particle size of the cyclone classification is fine, which can meet the requirements of industrial production. In addition, the cyclone has low cost, less material consumption, and more economic value.
