High-Efficiency Hydrocyclone Separator for Gold, Copper, Silver, and Graphite – China Suppliers and Factory
Hydro cyclone is a high-efficiency separation device which uses centrifugal force to separate two-phase fluids,it has been applied in classification, thickening, dehydration, desliming, separation, washing and other processes. Slurry is fed into the cyclone through the inlet in a tangential or involute direction (depends on how the slurry be fed). Under centrifugal force, large particles will move downwards along outer swirling flow, be discharged through apex as underflow, while fine particles will move upwards through inner swirling flow,be discharged from vortex as overflow.
Structure
Hydro cyclone consists of feed, outlet and inlet. hydro cyclone has one inlet that makes sure mud enters the cone along tangent direction. hydro cyclone has two outlets: the smaller at the bottom called underflow outlet or discharge outlet which denser or larger particles pass by, and the larger on the top called overflow outlet which lighter or finer mud pass by. The small inlet, outlet and small diameter needs high pressure while processing little capacity. On the contrary, the big inlet, outlet and big diameter needs low pressure while processing large capacity.
Applications
- 1. Closed circuit grinding.
- 2. Mineral Classification.
- 3. Concentrate or Tailings Thickening,Dewatering.
- 4. Tailings damming and filling.
- 5. Without motion and power unit,it needs to match with relevant slurry pump.
- 6. Hydro Cyclone Separator is mainly used in ore dressing industry for classifying, sorting, thickening and desliming.
Advantages
- 1. Automatic control can be adopted.
- 2. Large processing capacity and low operation cost.
- 3. Simple structure, easy to install and operate.
- 4. Small size, small footprint, easy to transport.
- 5. High grading efficiency (up to 80% ~ 90%) and fine grading granularity.
- 6. Multiple sets can be used in parallel or in series to improve the classification efficiency and processing capacity.
- 7. Using polyurethane wear-resistant material, the service life is greatly improved.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a hydro cyclone separate particles?
A hydro cyclone uses centrifugal force to separate two-phase fluids. When slurry is fed into the cyclone tangentially or involutely, centrifugal force causes larger, denser particles to move outwards and downwards, discharging through the bottom underflow outlet. Fine, lighter particles move upwards through the inner swirl and discharge via the top overflow outlet.
What are the primary applications of a hydro cyclone?
Hydro cyclones are widely used in the ore dressing industry for mineral classification, closed-circuit grinding, concentrate or tailings thickening and dewatering, tailings damming and filling, as well as desliming and sorting.
How does the size of the inlet and outlet affect operation?
Small inlets, outlets, and small diameters require higher operating pressure and are suitable for lower processing capacities. Conversely, larger inlets, outlets, and diameters require lower pressure and are designed for processing larger capacities.
What are the main structural parts of a hydro cyclone?
A hydro cyclone consists of a feed inlet, a smaller bottom outlet (underflow or discharge outlet) for denser/larger particles, and a larger top outlet (overflow outlet) for lighter/finer mud. It does not contain moving parts and operates in combination with a slurry pump.
Can multiple hydro cyclones be used together?
Yes, multiple sets of hydro cyclones can be connected in parallel or in series to significantly improve overall classification efficiency and processing capacity.
What material is used to improve the service life of the hydro cyclone?
The hydro cyclone utilizes polyurethane wear-resistant material, which greatly improves its service life and durability under harsh operating conditions.
