Minicyclones
ChemIndustrial offers small diameter hydrocyclone models
called minicyclones. Due to their small size, the liquids
inside spin at a much higher angular velocity,
providing the highest G-forces of any of ChemIndustrial's
hydrocyclones.
Other vendors' minicyclones are
generally available only as arrays in complex pressure
vessels. ChemIndustrial minicyclones are designed for
use as single units. Higher capacities are achieved by
manifolding single units in whatever numbers are required.

Several minicyclones.
Different colored minicyclones perform the same;
also, the material has the same strengths and
resistances despite its color. |

Minicyclone
with Housing |
 |
|
The housing for a minicyclone
allows it to be
integrated easily into existing piping systems. |

Several Housed
Minicyclones |

An example of mincyclones in
their housings. Multiple housed minicyclones
can be put in an array to increase flow volume. |

Minicyclone
Housing
with Alternate Head Configuration |
 |
The housing for a minicyclone is
very modular; it can be be
outfitted with a variety of heads for high
configuration versatility. |

Minicyclone Array, Side View |
|
Due to the size required to
generate the high level of angular velocity, each
minicyclones can only process a small amount of
liquid.
However, system capacity can be increased by
manifolding multiple minicyclones into an array. The
angular velocity is retained, and the flow volume is
proportionally increased. |
