Cavex® Hydrocyclone Air Core Boosters

About this product

Our range of Cavex® Air Core Boosters (ACB) are a popular cyclone product that enhance classification and overall hydrocyclone performance. Overview When fitted to a hydrocyclone, the Cavex® Air Core Booster (ACB) helps to improve overall cyclone performance by improving cyclone efficiency and capacity. By producing a larger and more stable air core inside the hydrocyclone, our range of Cavex® Air Core Boosters (ACB) enhance the volume flow split to the overflow. This is particularly effective when combined with a large apex. This innovative cyclone product is frequently used in mining and aggregates applications to reduce: • The total pressure across the hydrocyclone • The amount of back pressure at discharge • The bypass of fines and • Hydrocyclone roping or blockages occurring inside the hydrocyclone If you'd like to improve the efficiency and performance of your hydrocyclone, our range of Cavex® Air Core Boosters can help. Frequently Asked Questions What applications are Air Core Boosters (ACB) best suited to? Air Core Boosters (ACB) are best suited to grinding and tailings applications. Within these applications, they can help to improve the overall classification efficiency of the hydrocyclone. Features and benefits Improves Hydrocyclone Performance and Efficiency When fitted to the top of a hydrocyclone, Cavex® Air Core Boosters (ACB) improve overall cyclone performance. By producing a more stable and larger-diameter air core, this ancillary cyclone product enhances the volume flow split to the overflow resulting in greater cyclone efficiency. It also reduces the bypass of fines to the underflow. Reduces Hydrocyclone Roping and Blockages Cavex® Air Core Boosters are also designed to reduce hydrocyclone roping and/or blockages within the hydrocyclone so that it can continue to operate optimally.
