Metso Outotec launches CycloneSense technology to increase production
Helsinki, Finland, 6 days ago Operating conditions in the hydrocyclone process have a direct impact on plant availability and on grinding and flotation circuit efficiency. To help ensure continuously optimal hydrocyclone operation, Metso Outotec has introduced CycloneSense, which it calls a `smart measurement system’ that provides direct, continuous, and reliable online monitoring of the hydrocyclone air core. “In order to optimise the process, hydrocyclones should be run so that the fraction of water returned to grinding is the smallest amount possible. In order to do that, you need to know when you are approaching the limit of your hydrocyclone’s coarse discharge rate to avoid going too far and ending up with problems, such as roping,” said DSc., Professor Emeritus Kari Heiskanen, a well-known expert in the field and the author of the book Particle Classification.
