Hydrocyclone Apex / Spigot (SiC Ceramic / Si3N4 / Cr27)
Precision ground conical bore to preserve semi-umbrella spray angle and prevent roping volumetric choking.
Open Quick-Checkout Sheet SKU-QC-11 →Audit your hydrocyclone cluster performance using only 3 Marcy Pulp Density Scale cup readings (Feed, Apex Underflow, and Vortex Overflow) without needing a belt scale or ultrasonic flowmeter.
Du/Do ratio and underflow volumetric fraction C_v,u within optimal metallurgical window. Maintain preventive Apex gauge checks.
Precision ground conical bore to preserve semi-umbrella spray angle and prevent roping volumetric choking.
Open Quick-Checkout Sheet SKU-QC-11 →Erosion-resistant overflow sleeve engineered to eliminate coarse particle short-circuiting to flotation.
Open Quick-Checkout Sheet SKU-QC-12 →Drop-in sectional liners with step-free internal joints compatible with D10, D15, D20, and D26 cyclone banks.
Open Quick-Checkout Sheet SKU-QC-13 →Governs Plitt d50c cut size. Sharp lower lip (0.76 mm tolerance, 1 ISO/IEC 7810 card) shears short-circuit wall flow.
Tangential involute entry minimizing initial impact turbulence and stabilizing the central air core.
Sets primary centrifugal residence time. Tongue-and-groove step-free joint (δ_r ≤ 3.0 mm, < 0.76 mm nominal).
Peak tangential acceleration zone. Radial steps δ_r > 3 mm trigger Görtler micro-vortices and misplace coarse grit to overflow.
Controls du/do ratio and volumetric solids Cv,u (< 56%) to sustain semi-umbrella spray without roping.
Coupled Plitt-Marcy sizing to prevent hydraulic mismatch between cyclone feed pump and classification cluster.

Diverging slot geometry that immediately releases near-size particles (0.8 < d/a < 1.2) once past the top throat.
Flexible urethane membrane under 4–5G acceleration that ejects wedged grains and sustains effective open area A_eff > 32%.
Combining primary hydrocyclone classification with TH48-30 fine screens on underflow eliminates heavy-mineral overgrinding bypass.
