  1. Functions ofHydrocyclone

  2. INTRODUCTION Ores go through multiple screening before mineral gets extracted. One of the screening components is Hydrocyclone. A hydrocyclone is a separation device that separates coarse and fine slurry particles. We will go through its parts, functions, and working principles in the presentation.

  3. ABOUT HYDROCYCLONE Hydrocyclone is a high throughput separation equipment for coarse/fine particle separation used mostly in the mineral processing industry. A feed chamber has four main sections: the cone (body), the underflow (spigot liner or apex), and the overflow (vortex finder). The linings of hydrocyclone are manufactured either from alumina or ceramic to prevent wear and tear.

  4. FEED CHAMBER AND CONE BODY The cono-conical shape of the hydrocyclone consists of a tangential feed chamber or inlet pipe. The slurry is added to the cyclone through this component. The cone is the body which consists of the inner vortex and outlet axis. Inside the vortex centrifugal force acts, in which the coarse particles are pushed outward, allowing the fine particles and most of the water to move upward.

  5. VORTEX FINDER The cylindrical structure which is connected with the feed chamber is the Vortex finder located at the top of the cyclone. The purpose of this is to provide a point of separation between fine and coarse particles.

  6. SPIGOT LINER (APEX) The spigot liner is situated at the bottom which is also known as the underflow liner. The spigot discharges the feed out of the underflow. The diameter of the spigot and vortex finder determines the separation of the slurry.

  7. CONCLUSION There are many Hydrocyclone manufacturers in India that provide customized Hydrocyclone and are committed to providing the best product along with service. Some of the recognized Hydrocyclonemanufacturing companies are Tega Industries, Metso Group, and The Weir Group.
