Summary

This study investigates the possibility of obtaining a consistently sized product from a hydrocyclone used as a classifier by altering the spigot diameter, the vortex finder height and the inlet flowrate.

Krebs D6B ¾ 120   ¾  839 hydrocyclone was connected to a computer which continuously calculated the d50c value to measure the cyclones efficiency.
