HYDROCYCLONE WITH ADJUSTABLE VORTEX FINDER AND INTERCHANGEABLE ASSEMBLY

摘要

A cyclone separator for separating light and heavy fractions of a liquid-borne stream of particles according to the present invention consists of a housing and a cap member to which a vortex finder is fixed for movement with the cap member relative to the housing. The inner end of the vortex finder is disposed within the separator chamber of the housing in a spaced relationship with the discharge passage of the housing and is movable relative to the housing in order to vary the specific gravity of separation of the separator.
