<p>A hydrocyclone for separating a mixture of materials into an accept fraction and a reject fraction containing dirt, said hydrocylcone comprising a separating chamber, which comprises a cylinder part, provided with at least one tangential feed connector for the mixture and with a coaxial exit tube for the accept fraction, and a sorter cone as an extension of the cylindrical part, having at its apex an exit aperture for the reject fraction. The shell of the sorter cone is provided with at least one line recess extending over part or all of its length, whereby as the wall thickness of the sorter cone is substantially reduced from its original value due to the wear caused by the reject fraction a perforation occurs in the recessed line, the leakage taking place therethrough being recovered in a closed chamber located on the outside of the hydrocyclone and which has been formed by affixing to the margins of the recessed line a fluted strip with closed ends.</p> |
