Record 2 2011-05-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Tools and Equipment (Mechanics)
  • Equipment and Tools (Water Supply)
  • Water Treatment (Water Supply)
DEF

A desander [which is] operated ... by a fast-moving stream of fluid inside a special cone-shaped vessel ...

CONT

Hydrocyclones are used for sewage sludge degritting in applications requiring high efficiency and a high degree of grit removal. ... [In] the hydrocyclone ... the feed is introduced tangentially to a cylindrical feed section, and the liquid slurry develops a rotational movement and passes into a conical section. The centrifugal force created by the cyclonic movement of the liquid forces the heavier solid particles to the outer wall.

OBS

The terms "cyclone separator", "cyclone collector" and "cyclone" are often used as synonyms of "hydrocyclone". They are however generic with respect to "hydrocyclone" because whereas in hydrocyclones the solids are separated from a liquid, in the others the solids are separated from either a liquid or air mixture.

Record 4 2003-11-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Papermaking Machines
DEF

A pulp stock cleaner in which pressurized slurry is tangentially injected into a truncated, cone-shaped vessel to produce a rapid spinning action of the suspension, causing a centrifugal force that moves the heavier particles to the outside wall where they drop down to the bottom and are removed. The inner vortex column with the acceptable fiber moves to the top where it is removed for further processing.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Machines à papier
DEF

Appareil de classage, alimenté tangentiellement, qui utilise l'action d'un vortex pour débarrasser la pâte de ses impuretés.
