MAX Dense Medium Cyclones

The MAX Range of Cyclones

Multotec Process Equipment has developed the MAX range of cyclones. The ultimate in alumina tiled cyclone engineering design. Computational Fluid Dynamic Analysis, 3D computer aided design and extensive field experiences were combined to produce the MAX cyclone design.

These cyclones couple the highly efficient Multotec scrolled evolute inlet with an engineered tile wear surface, thus ensuring MAXimum efficiency of separation and MAXimum wear life. The MAX range of cyclones embodies the considerable specialised technological expertise and experience of two companies, Multotec Process Equipment and Multotec Wear Linings.

The MAX range of cyclones is available with the following internal fittings:

Inlet Nozzle - A, AB and B
Vortex Finder - XA and A
Spigot - Normal, High capacity and Extra High Capacity

Engineered Tiles

Standard Tiles

The use of standard pressed tiles, which are hand cut, results in gaps between the tiles. The epoxies use to bond the tiles wear more rapidly than the alumina tiles. As wear progresses, the tile surface becomes increasingly uneven, resulting in accelerated wear.

Engineered Tiles

Engineered tiles are pressed with chamfered sides and then cut precisely, whilst in the green state, to the required shape. This ensures that gaps between the tiles are minimised.

Each tile is especially designed for its place in the complete tile kit, ensuring a very tight fit with a minimum of space at the joints. Tile widths are selected to provide a smooth internal surface. The end result is a long lasting wear surface.

The final engineered solution

The final product - a Scrolled Evolute cyclone with premium quality, precision engineered, alumina tile wear surface.

Design Options

	Overflow Discharge Votex extension or overflow elbow Vortex extensions are cheaper, easier to maintain and simplify inspections
	Extended Barrel Section Icreased resistance time and efficiency of separation Ideal for feed solids that contain hign percaentagesd of fine or near ensity material
	27% Chrome Cast Iron Cones Used for applications where large tramp metal may be fed into the cyclone
	Parralel Throat Spigots Help preserve spigot size for longer Cyclone cut density is, therefore, maintained more consistently
	Oversize Spigots Worn spigots can be replaced with oversize spigots Larger diameter allows for it to be fited to worn cone without creating an inward step
