WSHT Hydrocyclone (Série FX) - Classificação e Deslimagem

WSHT Hydrocyclone (FX Series)

Capacity: 10-524 m³/h | Precision Engineered for Mining & Mineral Processing

Visão Geral do Produto

The WSHT FX Series Hydrocyclone is a high-capacity classifying device that uses centrifugal force to separate solid particles by size and density in liquid suspensions. With no moving parts and a compact design, it provides reliable, low-maintenance classification for mineral processing circuits. The FX series is extensively used in closed-circuit grinding operations for efficient particle size classification, as well as for desliming, thickening, and dewatering applications in gold, copper, iron ore, and industrial mineral processing plants.

Key Features & Benefits

• No Moving Parts
  Simple, robust design with no mechanical components requiring maintenance or replacement.
• High Classification Efficiency
  Precise cut-size control with sharp separation performance, reducing fines recirculation in grinding circuits.
• Wear Resistant Liners
  Replaceable polyurethane, ceramic, or rubber liners in high-wear zones extend service life significantly.
• Compact Design
  Small footprint with high volumetric capacity — multiple hydrocyclones can be clustered for large flow rates.
• Adjustable Operation
  Cut size easily adjustable by changing feed pressure, apex diameter, or vortex finder configuration.

Technical Specifications

Working Principle

The hydrocyclone separates particles based on the principle of centrifugal sedimentation. Feed slurry enters tangentially at high pressure through the feed inlet, creating a strong rotational flow within the cylindrical section. Centrifugal force drives coarser and heavier particles to the wall, where they spiral downward and exit through the apex (underflow). Finer and lighter particles remain near the center and are carried upward through the vortex finder to the overflow outlet. The cut size is determined by the balance between centrifugal force and fluid drag.

Aplicações

• Closed-Circuit Grinding
  Classification of ball mill discharge to separate finished product from circulating load.
• Desliming
  Removal of ultra-fine slimes from mineral slurries ahead of gravity and flotation processes.
• Thickening
  Pre-thickening of dilute slurries to increase feed density for downstream dewatering equipment.
• Density Separation
  Heavy media separation for coal beneficiation and industrial mineral upgrading.
