WIMA Hydro Cyclone Unit
HCU 100/ 200/300.
HCU Series – Compact Hydro Cyclone Units for Fine Sand Recovery
The HCU series is a compact, modular processing system designed for the efficient recovery of fine sand from process water. Each unit combines a hydro cyclone, pump, and dewatering screen in a pre-assembled steel frame, making it ideal for sand and gravel operations, sludge treatment, and recycling processes.
With three available capacity levels (100, 200, and 300 m³/h), the HCU series offers a flexible solution for separating fine solids down to approximately 63 µm.
Applications
Hydro cyclone units of the HCU series are used in:
Sand and gravel plants
Mineral recycling facilities
Sludge treatment systems
Processes with high water circulation
They are designed for targeted separation of fine particles (0–1 mm) from water-solid mixtures, enabling the recovery of valuable material and reducing disposal requirements.
Key Benefits at a Glance.
Consistent Product Quality
The dewatering screen produces a final product with a residual moisture content of approx. 15%.
High Recovery Rate
Fine particles down to approx. 63 µm are reliably separated and recovered.
Internal Water Recirculation
Depending on the water level in the screen trough, the overflow is either returned to the screen for reprocessing or discharged to a lamella separator or settling tank.
Autonomous Operation Possible
Can be delivered with its own control system for fully autonomous operation.
Low Maintenance
No rotating or high-wear components in the cyclone.
Compact Transport Solution
A complete unit can be transported with just one truck.
Fast Installation
Delivered in pre-assembled modules – ready for operation within a single working day.
Easy Handling
The modular structure simplifies transport, setup, and maintenance.
Modular Design
Suitable as a stand-alone solution or for integration into existing plants.
Flexible Infeed Options
The inlet side can be freely configured to suit the installation layout.
Custom Discharge Options
The optional discharge chute can be adapted to site-specific requirements.
