Abstract

In a hydrocyclone arrangement at least two hydrocyclones are spaced laterally apart with a filling chamber, an overflow chamber and an underflow chamber arranged centrically of the hydrocyclones. The filling chamber is aligned above the overflow chamber and the underflow chamber is aligned below the overflow chamber. The hydrocyclones are disposed obliquely of the vertical so that the underflow from each is directed into the underflow chamber. The filling chamber has a spherical configuration and a separate connection extends radially outwardly from the filling chamber to each of the hydrocyclones. A supply connection extends vertically upwardly into the filling chamber passing vertically through the overflow chamber and then extending horizontally outwardly or continuing to proceed vertically through the underflow chamber. Replaceable wear protection parts are positioned in the filling chamber and the filling chamber is constructed so that it can be opened for access to the wear protection parts. Further, the wear protection parts can be arranged to form enclosed wear indication spaces within the filling chamber connected through a tubular member with the outside atmosphere. Each of the filling chamber, overflow chamber and underflow chamber can be divided in two by vertical partitions for forming independent functional groups of the separate chambers each associated with a different hydrocyclone.
