Spiral separator

Spiral separator

A spiral separator is a device to separate solid components in a slurry, based upon a combination of the solid particle density as well as it's the particle's hydrodynamic properties (e.g. drag). The device consists of a tower, around which is wound a sluice, from which slots or channels are placed in the base of the sluice to extract solid particles that have come out of suspension.

Spiral separators are typically designed for the extraction of larger aggregates than other "wet" techniques, such as hydrocyclones.
