Working Principle of Hydrocyclone

Mud Hydrocyclone is the important spare parts of Mud cleaner, desander and desilter. It is made of high chromium cast iron(HCCI) and polyurethane. Internationally, The Hydrocyclone has the standard such as: 4″, 8″, 10″, 12″.

The Components of Mud Hydrocyclone

Generally, Hydrocyclone has a upper casing, a lower casing, a underflow mouth as well as auxiliary parts. The upper casing is an inlet chamber in cylindric with an inlet pipe on one side and a vortex tube in top middle as the overflow. The lower casing is a cone whose angle ranges from 15~20 at the tip. The underflow mouth is located at the bottom as the discharge port for solids.

The Working Principle of Mud Hydrocyclone

hydrocyclone work principle is to separate two or several components with different densities with the aid of centrifugal force. After the mixture is sent into hydrocyclones by certain pressure, it gradually flow into a high-speed rotation where the heavy phase form an outer swirl by moving downwards along the axis, outwards along radial direction, downwards again along the cone till they flow out of underflow; while the light phase form upward inner swirl by moving towards axis and upwards till they go out from overflow outlet.
