Model AKA-Vortex -Hydrocyclones
Hydrocyclones are important and economically viable systems for the wet-mechanical separation and classifying processes of ores and minerals. AKA-VORTEX are applied across the industry in various areas: sorting, desliming, closed circuit grinding, solids recovery, classication.
In principle, the hydrocyclone is a solid bowl centrifuge of “slim” design. lt can be compared to a high-speed tubular centrifuge but also with a longtube decanter. In the case of the hydrocyclone, however, the body is stationary. A rotation is initiated by the ow arising from the tangential feed under pump pressure. The fluid is subjected to centrifugal forces, that lead to the creation of a primary vortex, which is directed downwards, and an internal secondary vortex directed upwards. This leads to a segregation effect of the particles present in the fluid, due to a radially outward Sedimentation.
- Optimum separation characteristic at varying operation parameters
