Component Specifications

Definition
The cone wall is the tapered cylindrical component of a hydrocyclone that forms the separation chamber where centrifugal acceleration occurs. Its geometry determines the velocity profile, residence time, and separation efficiency by converting pressure energy into rotational motion. The wall's angle and length are critical design parameters affecting cut size and throughput.
Working Principle
The cone wall accelerates slurry tangentially, creating a vortex with centrifugal forces that separate denser solids toward the wall (descending to apex) while lighter fluids move inward and upward to the overflow. The tapered geometry maintains velocity as diameter decreases, enhancing separation.
Materials
Abrasion-resistant materials: Polyurethane (PU), Ceramic (Alumina), Rubber (Natural/Synthetic), Stainless Steel (316L, Duplex), Cast Iron with liners. Selection depends on particle abrasiveness, chemical compatibility, and temperature.
Technical Parameters
  • Cone Angle 10-20 degrees
  • Surface Finish Ra ≤ 1.6 μm
  • Wall Thickness 6-25 mm
  • Inlet Pressure Range 0.1-0.5 MPa
  • Length/Diameter Ratio 3:1 to 5:1
Standards
ISO 9908, DIN 24250

Frequently Asked Questions

What factors affect cone wall wear?

Wear depends on particle hardness, slurry concentration, flow velocity, and material properties. Abrasive slurries require ceramic or polyurethane liners.

How does cone angle impact separation?

Steeper angles (15-20°) increase centrifugal force for finer separation but reduce capacity; shallower angles (10-15°) improve throughput with coarser cuts.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
