Hydrocyclone is a vital piece of equipment used in various industries, including mineral processing, coal beneficiation, water treatment, and chemical industries.
Hydrocyclone operates by utilizing centrifugal forces to separate particles in a liquid suspension. The slurry (mixture of solid particles and liquid) is fed into the Hydrocyclone tangentially at high velocity. The resulting flow pattern creates a centrifugal force that pushes the denser, larger particles outward to the walls of the cyclone, while the lighter, finer particles move toward the center and exit through the overflow pipe.
