Ceramic Hydrocyclones

Ceramic Hydrocyclones

Hydrocyclones are vital to classification and separation operations in mineral processing, wastewater treatment, and chemical industries. They use centrifugal force to separate solid particles from liquid based on size and density. However, when processing abrasive slurries, standard hydrocyclones quickly succumb to wear, compromising efficiency and increasing downtime.

Ceramic hydrocyclones address this issue by incorporating wear-resistant ceramic materials into critical internal components such as the cone, apex (spigot), and vortex finder. These components are where the most aggressive wear occurs due to high-velocity particle flow.
