Laboratory Hydrocyclone

Mini laboratory hydrocyclones are used for testing and evaluating size classification in mining and mineral processing. They are designed to simulate real hydrocyclone performance at a laboratory scale and are lined with polyurethane for durability.

Experimental / Testing Setup
Mounted on test rig with :

• Sump
• Slurry pump
• Pressure gauge
• By-pass valve
• Timed sample collection system

Samples :

• Weighed
• Sized
• Dried and reweighed
• Wet sizing performed using sieve shaking device
• Used for calculating flow and size mass balance

• Laboratory testing of size classification
• Mineral processing research
• Evaluation of hydrocyclone performance
• Testing with materials such as flotation tailings and concentrates
