Hydrocyclone batteries are widely used in the separation processes of material in the different stages of mining processes. By means of automated valves it is possible to control the access of the fluid to each cyclone.
The use of pneumatic cylinders for actuating valves is presented as an efficient solution in terms of functionality and costs.
The use of centralized pneumatic control cabinets allows the protection of the directional valves and also the local activation of the hydrocyclone battery channels for operation in manual mode and maintenance operations. At the same time, they make it possible to concentrate the control signals in automatic operation.
The MICRO experts can advise on the design of pneumatic actuators, as well as on the design of the panels, according to the requirements of the operation to be carried out.
General in valve automatisms:
In the design development, process engineering and current pipings, the automated valves represent the core of the fluid control operations, as they indicate, in a direct way, in the correct and efficient operation of any productive or transformation process.
With a vast experience in the subject, MICRO specializes in the selection and assembly of appropriate actuators for the different technologies of process valves to be applied.
Pinch valve automation:
Linear pneumatic cylinders are ideal for automating knife-gate, pinch, globe valves, etc. With a correct sizing of the cylinder diameter and stroke, according to the valve’s own parameters, it ensures a good performance of the system, in On-Off or modular applications.
