Miniclones
ChemIndustrial offers small diameter hydroclone models
called miniclones. Due to their small size, the liquids
inside spin at a much higher angular velocity,
providing the highest G-forces of any of ChemIndustrial's
hydroclones.
Other vendors' miniclones are
generally available only as arrays in complex pressure
vessels. ChemIndustrial miniclones are designed for
use as single units. Higher capacities are achieved by
manifolding single units in whatever numbers are required.

Several miniclones.
Different colored miniclones perform the same;
also, the material has the same strengths and
resistances despite its color. |

Miniclone
with Housing |
 |
|
The housing for a miniclone
allows it to be
integrated easily into existing piping systems. |

Several Housed
Miniclones |
|
An example of miniclones in
their housings. Multiple housed miniclones
can be put in an array to increase flow volume. |

Miniclone
Housing
with Alternate Head Configuration |
 |
The housing for a miniclone is
very modular; it can be be
outfitted with a variety of heads for high
configuration versatility. |

Miniclone Array, Side View |
|
Due to the size required to
generate the high level of angular velocity, each
miniclones can only process a small amount of
liquid.
However, system capacity can be increased by
manifolding multiple miniclones into an array. The
angular velocity is retained, and the flow volume is
proportionally increased. |
