IHydrocyclone sisixhobo sokwahlula ulwelo-lulwelo esiqhele ukusetyenziswa kunyango lwamanzi oluveliswayo kumasimi e-oyile. Isetyenziswa ikakhulu ukwahlula loo mathontsi e-oyile asimahla anqunyanyiswe kulwelo ukuhlangabezana nemigangatho efunekayo yokulahlwa yimimiselo. Imikhosi eyomeleleyo ye-centrifugal eveliswa kukuhla koxinzelelo kukuphumeza isiphumo sesantya esiphezulu sokujikeleza kulwelo kwityhubhu yenkanyamba, ngaloo ndlela ityhala i-centrifugally ulwelo olunzima (amanzi) ukuya kumphezulu ongaphakathi, ngelixa ulwelo olukhanyayo (ioyile) lucinezelwe kumbindi wetyhubhu yenkanyamba. Ngokuthambeka koxinzelelo lwangaphakathi oluthi ke lutyhale ulwelo olunzima (amanzi) lusingise ezantsi ngelixa ulwelo olukhanyayo (i-oyile) lusiya phezulu. Ngaloo ndlela, amasuntswana e-oyile anobunzima obucacileyo obucacileyo bohlulwe kumanzi okutya kunye nokufezekisa injongo yokwahlulwa kwamanzi-oyile. I-Hydrocyclones isetyenziswa ngokubanzi kwi-petroleum, imboni yeekhemikhali, ukukhuselwa kwendalo kunye nezinye iindawo okanye amashishini. Banokuphatha ngokufanelekileyo ulwelo olwahlukeneyo ngobunzima obuthile obahlukileyo, baphucule ukusebenza kakuhle kwemveliso kunye nokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kongcoliseko.
