Cavex® hydrocyclones are renowned for their high efficiency and advanced separation capabilities. At Weir, we’ve been an innovative leader in manufacturing hydrocyclones for over 45 years. Our original Cavex® hydrocyclone set new industry benchmarks with its innovative laminar spiral inlet geometry design and corner-less 3D curvature, which improved cyclone performance by decreasing turbulence and increasing capacity, efficiency and wear life.
In 2020, we launched the high-efficiency Cavex® 2 hydrocyclone, our second-generation of cyclones. This new and improved hydrocyclone has an advanced LIG+™ laminar and chamber design and further intelligence to reduce turbulence and improve classification by up to 30% – all while occupying the same footprint as the original Cavex® and competitor cyclones.
Our continued commitment to research and development means that we’re always pursuing further improvements to ensure that our Cavex® hydrocyclone range stays at the forefront of the industry.
Cavex® 2 High-Efficiency Hydrocyclone

Recommended Industries: General Industry, Mining, Sand and Aggregates
Cavex® CVX Classifying Hydrocyclone
Our original Cavex® CVX hydrocyclone is recognised for its innovative laminar spiral inlet geometry design. Compared to other separation equipment, this hydrocyclone has a smaller footprint, high capacity and low capital cost.
Cavex® CVXT Ceramic Hydrocyclone
Our heavy-duty Cavex® CVXT ceramic-tiled cyclone is designed to provide efficient classification and longer wear life in dense-medium applications, including coal and diamonds.
Cavex® CVXA Dense-Medium Hydrocyclone
The Cavex® CVXA dense-medium cyclone is designed to provide exceptional performance in heavy-media applications.
Cavex® CVXU Polyurethane Hydrocyclone
Commonly used in desliming, the Cavex® CVXU polyurethane hydrocyclone provides strength and corrosion resistance in light-duty and low-temperature applications.
Cavex® DE Hydrocyclone
The Cavex® DE cyclone is an innovative classification unit, with two stages of separation incorporated into the one piece of equipment. It works without the need for intermediary pumping, piping or sumps.
Cavex® Dewatering Hydrocyclone
The Cavex® dewatering cyclone is designed to deliver a consistent underflow density regardless of solids content variation in the feed. It contains a discharge regulator to increase overall performance and efficiency in tailings, sand and aggregate applications.
Cavex® Hydrocyclone Air Core Boosters
Our range of Cavex® Air Core Boosters (ACB) are a popular cyclone product that enhance classification and overall hydrocyclone performance.
Cavex® Cyclone Canisters and Clusters
Our range of Cavex® cyclone canisters are frequently used to cluster a group of small hydrocyclones together to increase overall throughput with a significantly reduced footprint.
