The principle

Hydrocyclones are used for continuous separation and dephlegmation of suspended particles from fluids. They are operated at large suspension throughputs with high effectiveness.
Hydrocyclones use the centrifugal force to accelerate sedimentation by tangentially entering of the suspension flow to be separated into the hydrocyclone, where a circular motion is forced on the fluid.             In  this range a centrifugal acceleration dependent from the flow rate and the diameter of the hydrocyclone takes effect on the suspended solid particles.                    The coarse solid particles concentrate at the circumference of the hydrocyclones, and the fine particles in the centre.
The clarified fluid is drawn off by an immersion pipe (vortex finder) in the upper range, the thickened suspension runs off below (apex finder).
Throughput and separation behaviour of the hydrocyclone can be variied by modification of the diameter of apex and vortex finders and the admission pressure.

Advantages of the solid-liquid separation with hydrocyclones


Upperflow- and underflow nozzles are slightly exchangeable and are available with various diameters of bore. All components of the hydrocyclone can be assembled and disassembled quickly.
A graduated range of types enables an adjustment to the respective product and the requested separation behaviour. Highest throughput capacities and small space requirement are achieved by interconnecting of single hydrocyclones to larger units.
