Hydrocyclone
Capacity: 0.1-900 m³ /h
Angle of Cone: 5-45°
Inlet pressure: 0.03-0.4 MPa
Application: Hydrocyclone is mainly used for classification and concentration in the beneficiation of metal ores such as iron, copper, lead, zinc, and lithium; desludging or ultra-fine classification of non-metallic ores such as quartz sand, kaolin, and barite; and can also remove fine mud on the surface of minerals or concentrate and dehydrate.

introduction of Hydrocyclone
The hydrocyclone is a common mining classification equipment that uses centrifugal force to accelerate the sedimentation of ore particles. It is mostly used for grading operations in the second stage of closed-circuit grinding, and is sometimes used for mud dehydration to obtain very fine overflow products. We can also customize multiple hydrocyclones to form a group to improve classification efficiency. The hydrocyclone can quickly achieve classification and concentration, dehydration, washing, and de-sludging. It has the advantages of high separation efficiency, small size, and simple maintenance, and is widely used in mining, chemical industry, and environmental protection fields.
The hydrocyclone can be configured as a hydrocyclone group/unit, which saves space and increases processing capacity. It can achieve efficient solid-liquid separation, particle size classification, or density sorting through high-speed swirling centrifugal force.
It is often used in a closed-circuit system with a ball mill to control the particle size of the ground product. For example, it is key equipment for closed-circuit grinding, tailings concentrating, and heavy media separation in gold, copper, spodumene, quartz sand, talc, and other mineral processing plants.
principle & structure of Hydrocyclone
Working Principle
The structure of the hydrocyclone is relatively simple. Its upper end is a cylindrical part, and its lower part is a conical container.
The slurry is fed into the cyclone at a certain speed (generally 5 to 12 meters per second) along the tangential direction, and obtains a rotary motion, thus generating a large centrifugal force (usually tens of times or even hundreds of times greater than gravity) . Under the action of centrifugal force, the coarser particles are thrown toward the wall of the vessel and move downwards with a spiral track, which is discharged from the grit nozzle to become coarse-grained products; the finer particles and most of the water are in the spiral path, discharge from the flow tube.
Structural features
- Feed inlet: Tangentially oriented, ensuring high-speed swirl flow.
- Cylinder (upper section): Cylindrical structure for stable fluid flow.
- Cone (lower section): The cone angle is typically 10°-20°, affecting separation accuracy and efficiency.
Bottom flow outlet (sand discharge outlet): Discharges coarse particles or high-density materials. - No moving parts: Relies on swirl motion to achieve separation.
why choose JXSC Hydrocyclone
features & Advantages of Hydrocyclone
1. It can adapt to liquids of different flow rates and particle sizes, effectively remove fine solid particles, and help remove suspended solids, sediment or other solid impurities.
2. The hydrocyclone can also be matched with a ball mill to form a closed-circuit grinding machine, replacing the traditional spiral classifier.
3. It has no powered parts and is driven by pressure energy, so it has extremely low maintenance costs and a lifespan of 5 to 10 years.
4. Compact design, takes up relatively little space and is easy to operate.
5. Hydrocyclone performance can be optimized by adjusting the feed flow rate, feed concentration, and cyclone geometric parameters to meet the requirements of different applications.
6. Polyurethane, ceramic or rubber linings are available to adapt the hydrocyclone to process acidic or abrasive slurries.
