Hydrocyclones are special devices that are used to separate a granular suspension into several fractions, which differ in the size of small particles. Equipment of this type, presented at http://eutitua.com/en/products/gidrociklony.html , used mainly in the mining industry. Hydrocyclones have the following functions: separation of liquid and solid particles, purification of water from impurities, improvement of ore quality.
The structure and principle of operation of hydrocyclones
Each model of a hydrocyclone includes the following parts: a receiving chamber, cylinders (one of them must create a support), three cones, two nozzles, one of which is a drain, and the other is a nutritious one. In addition to these components, the hydrocyclone must also have a sand nozzle. The inside of the device has a polyurethane coating that protects it from damage during operation. Hydrocyclones operate on the basis of the principle of tangential flow of raw materials, which is the pulp. Due to the rotational movements in the feed tube, the pulp is divided into two fractions. The finely dispersed part leaves the apparatus through the drain section.
Features of hydrocyclones made of basalt
Basalt aggregates, produced by stone casting, are of significantly higher quality when compared with metal models. They have a longer service life due to the use of durable materials. Hydrocyclones made of basalt are resistant to corrosion and have increased power.
