Description
A hydro-cyclone is a device to classify, separate or sort particles in a liquid suspension based on the ratio of their centripetal force to fluid resistance.
This ratio is high for dense (where separation by density is required) and coarse (where separation by size is required) particles, and low for light and fine particles.

Advantages
• Low capital cost.
• High efficiency for 5 – 200 micron particles.
• Lack of moving parts reduces wear.
• Continuous or batch removal of underflow requires virtually no downtime for maintenance or recovery.
• Small relative to other separation equipment.
• Can operate at a wide range of temperatures and pressures.
Usage
Applications include the pulp and paper mills, drilling industry, oil industry, metalworking, mineral processing, etc.
