The spiral classifier can be divided into three types: high dam type, low dam type and submerged type. 1). High Dam Spiral Classifier. The high dam type spiral classifier means that the overflow dam is higher than the spiral axis of the spiral, but lower than the upper edge of the spiral at the overflow end.

The results of the linear circuit analyses should not be taken to imply that traditional multi-stage spiral circuits have no value. The primary advantage of these traditional circuits is that they provide an effective means for reducing the specific gravity cut-point (SG50) below that which may be achieved using a single-stage spiral.

In the fuel oil purifier, the untreated fuel contains a mixture of oil, solids and water, which the centrifuge separates into three layers. While in operation, a quantity of oil remains in the bowl to form a complete seal around the underside of the top disc and, because of the density difference, confines the oil within the outside diameter of the top disc.

Spiral separators, or spirals for short, are a versatile method of gravity separation that can deal with a comparatively wide size range. Separation is achieved as a result of centrifugal forces induced by slurry running down the spiral, which forces lighter minerals to the outer bend whilst heavier minerals stay closer to the central axis of the spiral.

The area where the dihedral plays a critical role is the stabilization of the spiral mode (or spiral divergence). The spiral mode, like the Dutch roll and the phugoid, is an oscillatory mode that can either self-decay with time (stable) or constantly increase (unstable). The unstable spiral mode happens this way:
