Metso Launches Hydrocyclone Technology

Metso Corp. introduces the newest member of its MHC hydrocyclones product family, the MHCTM CB (curved bottom). This new hydrocyclone is designed for superior particle separation with increased unit capacity and coarser cut sizes while minimizing the fines bypass.

“The design of the MHCTM CB is based on the proven MHCTM hydrocyclone but upgraded with new innovative features, making it a true breakthrough technology for the classification process,” said Ben Klein, product group manager of hydrocyclones at Metso. “Thanks to this unique patented design, the new hydrocyclone offers higher unit capacity compared to standard hydrocyclone technologies. The MHCTM CB is also capable of producing coarser overflow products for a given hydrocyclone size, allowing for greater flexibility in classification and especially beneficial to new coarse particle flotation circuits. Finally, it provides enhanced classification efficiency by minimizing unwanted fines and water in the underflow.”

The MHCTM CB hydrocyclone is ideal for grinding circuit classification – from primary to fine grinding – and for a full range of mineral types. It is highly compatible with dewatering and desliming applications. MHCTM CB is works well for greenfield and brownfield projects, and its simple design makes it easy to retrofit into existing hydrocyclone clusters.
