Hydrocyclone & Spare Parts
High Efficiency Ceramic Lined Cyclones for Mineral Processing & Classification
⚙️
Looking for high-efficiency solid-liquid separation equipment that lasts?
What is a Ceramic Lined Hydrocyclone? A ceramic lined hydrocyclone uses centrifugal force to separate particles by size and density — no moving parts, no external power needed beyond the feed pump. Our alumina and silicon carbide ceramic liners maintain precise internal geometry over extended service life, delivering consistent classification performance in the most demanding mineral processing environments.
Technical Parameters & Performance: WearTech ceramic hydrocyclones for mineral processing feature Mohs 9 hardness alumina or SiC liners with density up to 3.9 g/cm³, surface roughness Ra ≤ 0.8 μm, and service temperatures up to 1,600°C. Our wear resistant hydrocyclones deliver 8–12× longer life than polyurethane alternatives with Ecart Probable < 0.2 classification sharpness.
Major Applications: From ore classification, desliming, and dense medium recovery in mining to coal preparation, aggregate washing, chemical slurry separation, and fly ash classification in power plants, our ceramic lined hydrocyclones serve diverse industries requiring reliable, low-maintenance separation solutions.
Our Advantage: As a trusted alumina hydrocyclone supplier with 15+ years of expertise, WearTech offers complete hydrocyclone liner replacement kits and custom-engineered cyclones from 75mm to 1,500mm+ diameter. Dimensionally interchangeable spare parts compatible with Krebs, Warman, Weir, and Metso — minimizing your downtime and maximizing uptime.
Our Ceramic Hydrocyclone Product Range
WearTech is a trusted alumina hydrocyclone supplier offering ceramic lined hydrocyclones for mineral processing, coal preparation, aggregate classification, and chemical separation. From standard alumina tile-lined units to premium SiC integral sintered cyclones, every wear resistant hydrocyclone is engineered for maximum separation efficiency and extended service life.
⭐ Featured: SiC Integral Sintered Hydrocyclone
For the most demanding classification and separation applications, WearTech offers silicon carbide (SiC) integral sintered hydrocyclones — single-piece monolithic ceramic bodies with zero seams, zero adhesive joints, and zero tile gaps. Unlike tile-lined cyclones where slurry can penetrate behind tiles or erode adhesive bonds, the integral sintered construction maintains perfect geometric integrity throughout its entire service life, ensuring consistent d₅₀ cut points and eliminating the need for frequent hydrocyclone liner replacement.
Seam-Free Construction
No tile gaps, no adhesive bonds, no slurry bypass. Single-piece RBSiC or SSiC sintered body maintains exact internal geometry throughout service life.
Extreme Temperature
RBSiC rated to 1,350°C; SSiC rated to 1,600°C. No adhesive = no temperature limitation from bonding agents.
Universal Corrosion Resistance
SSiC with ≥98% SiC and trace free silicon — resistant to virtually all acids, alkalis, and organic solvents.
Superior Classification Sharpness
Seam-free geometry eliminates turbulence at tile edges, delivering sharper d₅₀ cut points and higher classification efficiency.

Cyclone Lining Product Forms — Ceramic Lined Hydrocyclone Components
⭐ Arc-Shaped Cyclone Tiles — Customizable
The core customizable product for cyclone internal lining. Each cyclone section — cylinder, cone, underflow spigot, vortex finder — has a unique curvature and taper angle, requiring tiles precisely formed to match. We manufacture custom arc tiles from customer drawings, measurements, or samples, ensuring seamless fit and maximum lining coverage.
- Trapezoid-shaped taper tiles — Interlocking edges for tight joints, easier installation into tapered sections
- Arc-shaped taper tiles — Conform precisely to cyclone's internal radius, minimizing gaps and reducing turbulence-driven edge erosion
- Standard sizes: 50–150mm length × 20–100mm width × 6–50mm thickness
- Installation: Adhesive bonding or weldable studs
- Fully customizable — Tiles manufactured to match your exact cyclone ID, cone angle, and section geometry
Cone Section Liner Sets
The cone section is the highest-wear zone in any hydrocyclone. We supply pre-formed cone tile sets with progressively changing curvature to maintain a smooth internal profile throughout the taper.
- Applicable cyclone diameter: DN100 – DN1,500+
- Wall thickness range: 8 – 50mm
- Inner diameter tolerance: ±0.1 – 3.0mm
- Cone angle: custom per drawing
- Sections per cyclone set: 15 – 25+ (depending on size)
- A complete cyclone lining set typically requires 20+ mold sets — we maintain a library of hundreds of existing molds to minimize tooling costs
Modular Cyclone Liner Kits
Barrel section + cone section + adapter rings — replace the most-worn cone independently without removing the entire lining.
- Step-interface design — Controlled mating details ensure consistent positioning, reducing misalignment and edge erosion
- Quick-change underflow spigots — Modular spigot inserts allow rapid replacement without full liner teardown
- SiC drop-in liner kits — Precision-cast RBSiC assemblies (cone, barrel, vortex finder, spigot) replacing tiled constructions entirely
- Available up to 60″ (1,524mm) diameter
Ceramic-Rubber Composite Panels
Ceramic-rubber composite panels for cyclones operating under high-impact slurry conditions.
- Alumina mosaic tiles vulcanized into wear-resistant rubber matrix
- 2-in-1 (ceramic + rubber) or 3-in-1 (ceramic + rubber + steel backing)
- Steel backing plate allows mechanical bolt-on installation
- Rubber layer absorbs impact energy and vibration, reducing ceramic fracture risk
- CN rubber backing enables cold-bonding installation without curing
- Standard plate sizes: 150×300, 300×300, 500×500, 600×600mm
- Best for large-diameter cyclones where impact loads concentrate

Why Choose Our Ceramic Hydrocyclones
No Moving Parts, High Reliability
Driven only by the feed pump, the tangential feed builds a centrifugal flow field with no motors or rotating parts. This means low energy use, simple maintenance and dependable continuous operation in mineral processing and slurry separation plants.
Long-Lasting Ceramic Liners
Mohs 9 alumina and silicon carbide liners, up to 3.9 g/cm³, resist high-velocity slurry abrasion. Ceramic-tiled liners typically last 8–12× longer than polyurethane, extending run time and cutting liner replacement and downtime costs.
Sharp, Consistent Classification
Precision liners hold the internal geometry and surface finish (Ra ≤ 0.8 μm) over long service, keeping the cut point stable for an Ecart Probable below 0.2. You get consistent classification, desliming and dense-medium recovery batch after batch.
Interchangeable & Custom Built
Dimensionally interchangeable apexes, vortex finders and liner kits match Krebs, Warman, Weir and Metso units. From 75 mm to 1,500 mm+ diameter, we build complete cyclones and custom liner sets to your drawings for fast, low-risk replacement.
