CCC - Urethane VorSpin Hydrocyclones for Sand and Silt Removal
VorSpin Hydrocyclones are engineered for simplicity and reliability, serving various industrial applications by utilizing centrifugal separation to efficiently classify and remove suspended solids in a slurry. The Urethane VorSpin model is particularly adept at handling tasks such as sand and silt removal, drilling fluid solids elimination, catalyst separation, and soil washing. This model incorporates three key enhancements to improve hydrocyclone efficiency: the Volute feed inlet reduces turbulence by preventing slurry backflow, the Fluted Vortex Finder accelerates particle separation by increasing the momentum of the swirling slurry, and the Non-plugging discharge Apex mitigates core plugging through its unique orifice design and differential pressure regions. These features collectively enable a more effective separation process, enhancing the overall performance in industrial applications. VorSpin offers additional resources, including performance charts and brochures for further insights.

Some specific applications: Sand and silt removal or separation, drilling fluids solids removal, catalyst removal and soil washing.
Hydrocyclones use the centrifugal separation principle to remove or classify suspended solids in a slurry.
The VorSpin Hydrocyclone features three improvements in hydrocyclone efficiency:
- A volute feed inlet
- A fluted Vortex Finder
- A non-plugging discharge Apex
The Volute feed inlet prevents the slurry from circulating back into the path of the incoming slurry, causing undesirable turbulence that reduces separation efficiency.
The Fluted Vortex Finder shape increases the momentum as the incoming slurry swirls around the increasing cross-sectional area, causing a more rapid separation of the suspended solids. This also prevents larger particles from “short circuiting” and reporting out the Vortex Finder with the liquid phase and smaller particles.
The Non-plugging discharge Apex has a non-circular orifice configuration with a central core and lobes surrounding the central core. As the solids report out the Apex discharge, the surrounding lobes will cause any central core plugging to wash through by producing a differential pressure region.
