Return coarse material to the mill while allowing correctly sized particles to move forward.


mtCyclones
Cyclones for classification, desliming, dewatering, thickening, backfill and tailings duties.
There is no single best cyclone for every application.

Where It Pays To Use mtCyclones
Cyclones often sit at high-leverage points in the flowsheet. Getting the duty and configuration right can reduce misplaced material, stabilise downstream feed and prevent a small classification problem from becoming a plant-wide constraint.
- Feed enters under pressure
- Outer vortex moves down
- Inner vortex moves up
- Two product streams form
A hydrocyclone can keep running while its cut drifts, its underflow ropes or valuable material reports to the wrong stream. Because the separation happens inside a closed vessel, small changes in feed, pressure, wear or configuration can quietly affect recovery, throughput and downstream performance.
Typical mtCyclone Applications

Diameter, cone angle, vortex finder, spigot, operating pressure and feed density all influence capacity, cut point and separation sharpness. Mineral Technologies matches these variables to the job the cyclone needs to perform. Only by matching the configuration to your orebody DNA a cyclone can really perform at its best.
- 75 – 900 mm nominal diameters
- Broad flow-capacity range
- Multiple cone-angle options
- Easily interchangeable spigots and vortex finders
- Vertical or inclined installation
- Rubber, polyurethane or ceramic liners
- Fibreglass or steel construction

- The right cut We match cyclone geometry and operating conditions to the particle separation your process actually requires.
- Stable performance Reducing the risk of roping, excessive spraying and overloaded cyclones disrupting the wider circuit is where our well configured cyclones shine.
- Lower operating risk We use construction and liner materials around ore abrasiveness, placement, maintenance access and expected wear keeping mtCyclones in the game for much longer.
- Spares, on hand and ready to go mtCyclones are more than the equipment you install – they come with our commitment to keep you running. Every spare part is kept in stock and can be exchanged in minutes thanks to the product‘s design. Our experts also help you spot problems before they occur.
