Hydrocyclone Separators
for Gold Mines
 PRODUCT HOME | Hydrocyclone Separators Technical Info

Netafim Hydrocyclone Separators separates solid matter from water with better than 90% efficiency rating. Removes solids, alleviating dirt load for the backup filter. Pumps, valves and water systems are protected from damage and abrasion caused by debris, lowering maintenance and replacement costs and adding years of performance to the life of your leaching system.

 


HOW TO USE THE CHARTS: Find your system flow rate on the Headloss Chart. Move vertically up the chart until you intersect within the recommended range. This indicates a particular hydrocyclone size. If your flow rate does not intersect within the recommended range, two smaller units in combination are suggested. Degree of separation is dependent on the head loss across the hydrocyclone. The Micron Chart shows the relationship between pressure loss across each hydrocyclone and the particle sizes separated.

NOTE: If material to be removed is extremely fine, use a higher head loss and/or multiple hydrocyclone units of a smaller size. A smaller hydrocyclone can remove finer particles than a hydrocyclone with a larger diameter.
