How to Size A Hydrocyclone Separator ?

Sizing the structural parameters of the hydrocyclone separator should according to the volume of the pulp to be processed and the particle size of the classification. Hydrocyclones are widely used in classification, desliming, dehydration, and other operations. The structure of the cyclone is simple, and the suitable particle size for classification is generally 3~0.01mm. The classification efficiency is higher than that of the spiral classifier when the classification particle size is fine.

How to size a hydrocyclone separator?

The specifications of the hydrocyclone depend on the amount of ore that needs to be processed and the overflow particle size requirements. If the amount of ore to be processed is large and the overflow particle size is coarse, a large-size hydrocyclone should be selected; otherwise, a small-size hydrocyclone should be used. When the amount of ore processed is large and the overflow particle size is required to be fine, a small hydrocyclone group can be used. The relationship between the main structural parameters of the cyclone and the diameter D of the cyclone is generally the equivalent diameter of the feed port df=(0.15~0.25)D. The diameter of the overflow pipe do=(0.2~0.4)D. The diameter of the grit port du=(0.06~0.20)D; the cone angle a≤20°. After determining the diameter of the separator, select its structural parameters according to the processing capacity and grading granularity, such as the diameter of the overflow pipe, the diameter of the sand, the diameter of the mine, and the height of the mine. The insertion depth and cone angle of the overflow pipe.

How to choose a sand pump of hydrocyclone separator?

When the sand pump is used to feed the ore directly, the lift and flow rate of the selected sand pump can be larger than the normal feed ore of the cyclone. When the sand pump is feeding the mine, a pressure gauge should be installed on the cyclone feeding pipe so that the cyclone operator can grasp the working condition of the cyclone and the wear of the sand pump in time. It is recommended that the volume of the sand pump pool be larger to make the pump pool play a good buffering effect. At the same time, it is recommended that the sand pump should be lined with rubber to extend its service life.
