as the “media”.
Krebs Heavy Media Cyclones are designed specifically to
• Bullets
clean coal. A gravimetric separation takes place due to
the buoyancy effect of the media forcing the lighter
• Bullets
solids to the center of the cyclone where they are
transported upward and through the vortex finder. The
dense mineral matter spirals downward and through
the apex.
Krebs Heavy Media Cyclones are usually operated in a
near-horizontal orientation allowing for large apex sizes
to be used for refuse removal.
The media density primarily determines separating
gravity. Pressure should be kept relatively low to reduce
classification effects.
Benefits and Features
Krebs large-diameter Heavy Media Cyclones allow
larger top-size to be efficiently cleaned at higher feed
rates.
Cyclones 30” diameter and larger utilize a proprietary
ceramic “acceleration wedge” to modify capacity and
G-forces. Insert a smaller wedge and more capacity is
immediately obtained. Insert a larger wedge when
higher G-forces are required to clean fine coal more
efficiently.
Performance
One of the most important features of a Heavy Media
Cyclone is its high efficiency. Krebs has taken several
design features of the D26B, that has long been
established as the industry’s standard high capacity
cyclone with “benchmark” efficiencies, and
incorporated them into the new larger diameter
designs.
Heavy Media cyclones can handle feed particle top-size
range up to 4” and have capacities from 85 to
985 STPH per cyclone.

KREBS® Pre-Engineered Tile Lining in

Title Media Cyclones
Heavy

Tile Lined Heavy Media Cyclones:

Each ceramic tile is machined in the green state
and then fired to become an interlocking,
serialized component.

Although this process is relatively expensive,

the increased wear life that results is one
reason why Krebs Heavy Media Cyclones are
chosen over others that utilize flat tile.

Pre-Engineered tiles can come in two different

grades. They are used on FLSmidth inlet heads
to maximize service life.

After assembly of tile lined sections, all

cyclones are thoroughly inspected before
painting.

Krebs provides several ceramic tile lining

options with 1” to 1.5” thickness to optimize
wear life.

KREBS gMAX® Coal Classifying Cyclones
Title
Did you know
The Krebs gMAX is our newest generation of cyclone,
re-engineered from apex to vortex finder. The Krebs
gMAX cyclone has the capability to produce finer and
sharper separations using high-capacity designs.
The Krebs gMAX inlet has been improved upon over
the Krebs involute feed inlet that had been the state-
of-the-art for over 40 years. The outer wall involute
entrance design pre-classifies the feed solids prior to
entering the main body of the cyclone. The gMAX also
includes an improved vortex finder design.
Reduced turbulence within the inlet head results in less
misplacement of coarse material to overflow and
dramatically increases wear life. This longer service life
for the gMAX, due to premium cast ceramics in the
cyclone, will greatly increase the time between cyclone
repair / rebuilds.
To eliminate corrosion of the cyclone housings ceramic
liners are now encased in rigid polyurethane,
completely eliminating the need for steel housings.
gMAX hydrocyclones are available in sizes ranging 6” to 20” diameter with up to 1” thick replaceable liners.
11
20
Benefits and Features
• Minimized coarse solids misplacement to overflow
• Extended wear life of liners
• Fewer cyclones required for optimal performance
• Operates at higher feed rates with the same
separation size achieved
• Can be retrofitted into existing installations to
boost throughput and /or produce finer
separations
• Cone angles: 10.5 or 20 degrees available
Performance
• gMAX classifying cyclones can handle 1/2” (13mm)
top-size
• Capacities up to 50 STPH (45MTPH) per cyclone
• Feed Density up to 15% solids maximum;
underflow density of 40-50% solids are normal
for raw coal applications

KREBS® Water-Only Cyclones

Title
Did you know
Water-Only Cyclones are used to “clean” or “wash”
raw coal making a density separation. This cyclone
design relies on the fact that the mineral matter is
denser than coal. In this case the truncated cone
bottom allows a hindered-settling bed to form which
rejects lighter coal particles, while an elongated vortex
finder lifts the light coal particles.
A characteristic of this design is that some coal losses
may take place through the apex because larger coal
particles are classified. This result can be eliminated by
using 2-stage circuitry where losses are re-cleaned in
coal spirals or secondary water only cyclones. An
overall more efficient separation results.
Finer coals must be cleaned in smaller diameter water-
only cyclones; otherwise, drag forces in large diameter
cyclones cause the fine, high ash particles to report to
clean coal. Both pressure and feed density affect the
separating gravity.
Performance
• Water-Only cyclones are designed to produce
a low ash coal product
• Water-Only cyclones can handle feed particle 3/4”
top-size
Benefits and Features
• One can adjust separating density with pressure,
apex size and vortex finder length
• Compared to other water-based coal washing
devices, the water-only cyclone offers a more
compact design and provides relatively low separa-
tion densities
• Many different liner materials are available
• Shorter Vortex Finders ensure low separating
densities

• Long-Body ensures low separating densities

Note: Our D15LB-S-327 is specifically designed
to clean 1MM top size coal. Combined with • Performance simulations and technical support by
a second stage spiral circuit, the system can provide FLSmidth Krebs
separation densities from
1.65 to 2.00 SG

KREBS® Ceramic Liners for Cyclones
Ceramic Liner Options
Most coal applications require all wetted cyclone
surfaces to be ceramic lined especially Heavy Media
Cyclones where dense magnetite and raw coal (con-
taining sand and rocks) impinges upon the liners.
For severe applications, we may recommend that upper
portions of the cyclone be protected with nitride
bonded silicon carbide (CR) liners, while the lower
sections and apex be protected with more abrasive
resistant ceramic liners. In extremely severe applications
a reaction bonded silicon carbide (CX ) apex insert
might be recommended. With several ceramic liner
options, maintenance is markedly reduced.
High quality cast ceramics provide geometric accuracy
equal to high-chrome cast iron but provide significantly
longer service life. Using only cast liners results in less
turbulence, finer cut points and longer service life.
Krebs flexible design permits applying special ceramics
where required throughout the cyclone body.
15
Ceramic Liner Inspection
With several ceramic liner options available, mainte-
nance can be markedly reduced. For Classifying,
Water-Only, and Heavy Media Cyclones, apex wear is
the most important issue and the easiest to monitor.
With all pump motor switches properly secured, a light
and measuring device are usually the only items
required for this inspection.
To inspect the other liners, usually an apex assembly or
overflow pipe/vortex finder can be removed. If this still
doesn’t allow adequate view of all liners, additional
disassembly will be required. Because the liners are
somewhat brittle, all ceramic lined cyclones should be
handled carefully; hammering on any surface of the
cyclone is not recommended.
Because Krebs ceramic lined cyclones lasts so long,
some maintenance expertise may be lost between
rebuilds. In this case, please contact FLSmidth Krebs or
your local representative for assistance; some of the
representatives may also be able to provide a rebuild or
exchange service.
