Product Details
Hydrocyclone have replaced mechanical classifiers in many modern grinding plants, as they are more efficient, especially in the finer size ranges, they also need less floor space and consume less power. Due to the relatively short residence time of particles within the cyclone, the mill circuit can rapidly be brought into balance if any changes are made and oxidation of particle within the circuit is reduced.
Through extensive testing, the hydrocyclone performance has been proven in a wide variety of applications including:
1. Closed circuit grinding
2. Mineral Classification
3. Concentrate or Tailing Thickening, Dewatering
4. Tailings damming and filling
The feed is introduced under pressure through the trangential entry which imparts a swirling motion to the pulp. This generates a vortex in the cyclone, with a low pressure zone along the vertical axis. An air core develops along the axis ,normally connected to the atmosphere through the apex opening, but in part created by dissolved air coming out of solution in the zone of low pressure.
