CyCLONE CLASSIFIERS

These fne sand reclaiming units have nmoving parts. They operate on the principle ocentriugal orce. This orce, introduced by thslurry in-ow separates the coarser ractions romthe non-desired fnes. They normally separate a

the 150 mesh sie range. !n operations wherminus "0 mesh sand is in short supply they casignifcantly increase plant capacity ospecifcation materials.

SAND RECOvERy WITH THE TELSMITHCyCLONE

TheTelsmith $yclone recovers fne sand in the %00 mesh sie range to increase sand recovcapacity and restores those fne sies neededmeet present day sand specifcations. T

premium sand, ormerly discharged into wasettling basins where re&uent removal necessary, becomes a source o income ratthan an e'pense.

Theproper design o a sump ahead o the pump is importantand the data to build a sump will be urnished uponre&uest. ata in table is based on ma7ing classifcation atabout %00 mesh, the generally accepted dividing linebetween silt and sand.NOTE 2. The operating head is the pressure drop throughthe cyclone. To this you must add the vertical head distancein eet rom the surace o the water in the sump to thecenterline o the cyclone/ and the estimated head loss ineet due to riction in the pipe and fttings. 8se the totalhead operating head plus vertical head plus riction head/or selecting the proper pump. 9ee note 5.NOTE $. )9! is pounds per s&uare inch o pressure re&uiredat eed inlet o the Telsmith cyclone to give proper
