Laboratory Hydrocyclone Testing Equipment

A liquid-solid cyclone is a device used in coal preparation and slurry processing for separating solids from liquids. It is applied in modern processing systems to improve efficiency, recover fine materials, and enable water reuse.
It is capable of handling fine particles and can achieve high separation efficiency even at very fine mesh sizes.
