METSO LAUNCHES BREAKTHROUGH HYDROCYCLONE TECHNOLOGY

The MHC Hydrocyclone Curved Bottom is designed to enhance efficiency and maximize capacity in the classification process.  www.metso.com Metso 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. Ben Klein, Product Group Manager of Hydrocyclones at Metso, says: “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. 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 a great product for greenfield and brownfield projects – and its simple design makes it easy to retrofit into existing hydrocyclone clusters. Thanks to its energy efficiency and reduction in CO2 emissions compared to similar wet classification technologies, the MHCTM CB hydrocyclone has been approved as part of Metso’s Planet Positive offering.
