Description
FX Hydrocyclone is one of the most important devices in the minerals industry. Hydrocyclone is widely used in the mineral industry processing as a classifier, which has proved extremely efficient at fine separation size. GTEK Laboratory Hydrocyclone can used in closed circuit grinding operations for general laboratory application, it also has many other applications, such as desliming, degritting, and thickening.
Working Principle
During operation of laboratory hydrocyclone, the slurry feed enters the cyclone under pressure through the feed pipe into the top of cylindrical feed chamber. As the feed enters the chamber, as result of the high centrifugal forces, the particles migrate downward in a spiral pattern through the cylindrical section and into the conical section. At this point the finer particles migrate toward the center and sprial upward and out through the vortex finder, discharging through the overflow pipe. The coarse particles remain in a downward spiral path along the walls of the conical section and gradually exit through the apex orifice.
