Product Descriptions
Hydrocyclones AKA-VORTEX and Annular Distributors AKA-SPIDER
Hydrocyclones are important and economically valuable components for wet-mechanical separation and classifying processes of minerals and mineral raw materials – matured construction, compact design and continuously developed and improved. Annular distributors in fully automatic mode allow a homogeneous and equal pressure distribution on every hydrocyclone in operation. AKA-VORTEX and AKA-SPIDER are applied across the industry in various areas: sorting, desliming, closed circuit grinding, solids recovery, classification.
Principle of operation
Centrifugal forces are the effective principles of the separation processes in the hydrocyclones. The suspended particles are thrown radially to the outside. Because of the magnified field of force, high settling rates, fast separation and high load are obtained. Flow promoting designs ensure high accuracy of separation.
Design features and advantages
- Optimum separation characteristic at varying operation parameters
- Homogeneous and equal pressure distribution of the suspension on every hydrocyclone in operation
- Long life time of hydrocyclones and distributors due to appropriate selection of material for each application
- Simple in operation
- Fast and trouble-free changing of wear-parts
- Modular system is achieved by using simple connectors and adaptors
- Low weight of single parts
- Easy adaption to changed operation parameters
- FDA approval available > food proof
Materials
- Produced of customized and highly wear-resistant polyurethane, oxide or SiC ceramics, NiHard, titanium
- Coating with high wear-resistant, chemical - and corrosion-resistant materials (rubber, PU ceramic) as an option for all surfaces that come in touch with the suspension
Types of AKA-VORTEX

Applications
Hydrocyclones are successfully in operation for classification of fine fractions of:
- Minerals (e.g. Kaolin, Feldspar, Talcum, Chalk, Quartz, Gypsum, Bentonite, Zircon)
- Ores (e.g. Iron ore, Bauxite, Zinc ore, Tin ore, Manganese ore, Chromite ore, Niobium-Tantalite-ore)
- Chemical intermediates
- Alumina
- Mineral raw materials and by-products (e.g. foundry sand, slag, Si-SiC-slurry, abrasives)
