With improved geometry of the inlet head, cylinder section, cones, and apex, KREBS gMAX hydrocyclones deliver sharper particle separation at higher capacities and less maintenance. Enjoy increased throughput at lower operating costs.
Our gMAX hydrocyclones feature more sharply angled upper cones followed by longer, angled lower cones. This innovative design maximizes tangential velocity in the upper part of the cyclone and extends residence time in the lower section, resulting in a substantially finer and sharper separation at higher densities, with fewer fines in the underflow and less coarse material in the overflow.
The gMAX inlet and cylindrical sections are designed to handle higher capacities. This reduces the number of cyclones needed to process the feed while delivering the high performance and reducing capital cost.
The gMAX inlet and cylindrical sections are designed to make finer, sharper separations at a lower pressure, reducing the cost of mill circuit operations.
The advanced design of the gMAX cyclone minimises turbulence in the inlet head, effectively extending the lifespan of the liner. The integration of premium ceramics in the lower section of the cyclone significantly enhances overall wear life, leading to longer intervals between complete cyclone rebuilds.
Since 1952, we have been a leading manufacturer of industrial hydrocyclones, known for our technical expertise and quality products. Our versatile gMAX hydrocyclones are used in various industries, including mineral processing, oil sands, power, chemicals, and water treatment. Whatever the application, we work with you to understand the process challenges and ensure the correct equipment is selected. We offer both individual hydrocyclones and complete multi-unit hydrocyclone clusters with valves, piping, collectors, support structures, instrumentation, and other accessories. A wide range of liner materials and construction materials for unlined cyclones are available, including a full line of moulded urethane gMAX hydrocyclones.
Our experienced engineers will quickly and thoroughly evaluate potential applications and provide detailed recommendations and performance estimates. When validation testing is required, our hydrocyclone test laboratory provides prompt testing at low cost. We can also arrange to run test cyclones at your site. For operating hydrocyclones, we offer comprehensive aftermarket services, including spare and wear parts, and our cyclone rebuild exchange program.
Optimised cyclone design enables finer separation at lower pressure, reducing power consumption in mill circuits.
Longer liner life and fewer cyclones reduce maintenance frequency, lowering operator exposure in confined areas.
Extended wear life reduces maintenance and allows recycling of components.
