Mining Application
Hydrocyclone Feed and Discharge Isolation
Extend hydrocyclone maintenance intervals using time-tested knife gate valves for feed and discharge isolation of abrasive slurry media.
Better Performing Hydrocyclones With Reliable Feed Isolation
Hydrocyclones separate and classify fine and coarse materials prior to flotation. Fines, or right sized particles, pass through the top of the hydrocyclone (vortex) for processing, while heavier solids discharge though the bottom of the hydrocyclone (apex) and back to regrind or directly to tailings. Isolating the hydrocyclone feed allows the system to maintain pressure, volume and separation.
