Hydraulic cyclone separator is a device used to separate and remove heavier coarse particles such as sand and silt from wastewater. It is sometimes also used for slurry dewatering. LF Energy, as a supplier of hydraulic cyclone separators for sand and mud removal, provides a range of sizes, including 4-inch, 5-inch mud removal cyclones and 8-inch, 10-inch, 12-inch, 14-inch, and 20-inch sand removal cyclones. Additionally, we offer cyclone separators made from different materials, including ceramic cyclones, polyurethane cyclones, and cast iron cyclones. These are suitable for applications such as sand removal and mud removal in oilfield drilling solids control, slurry treatment in horizontal directional drilling, and mud-water separation in shield tunneling.
Classification and Working Principle of Hydraulic Cyclone Separator.
Hydraulic cyclone separators can be classified based on their flow principles into two types: pressure type and gravity type . They are commonly constructed using cylindrical structures or metallic pipes.
Based on material, they can be categorized into:
Ceramic cyclone separators
Polyurethane cyclone separators
Cast iron cyclone separators
Working Principle of Hydraulic Cyclone Separator:
Water enters the device (cylindrical structure or metallic pipe) through a tangential inlet at the top due to pressure or gravity. Under the influence of centrifugal force, heavier particles are thrown against the wall of the device and spiral downward, eventually being discharged along with the concentrated slurry. Smaller particles, after rotating to a certain extent, are carried away by the secondary upward vortex flow.
