Elkayam - Model GS Series -Hydrocylones

The water-sand-lime mixture is introduced into basin A. Pump B aspirates the water-sand-lime mixture from the bottom of basin A and sends it in a pressurized stream to cyclone C which, by cyclonic centrifuging, separates the clay, lime and the filler of the concentrated sand. The concentrated sand comes out of the top of the cyclone and ejects to the drying screen D that removes the water from the sand which then moves to the unloading chute. The mixture level in the basin A is stabilized by float E that opens and shuts the valve for the mixture (sand and water) recovery and keeps it at a constant level so as to ensure the pump cannot run dry.
