The common case is that the mixture of ore and media (suspension) is pumped from the wing tank into the DM cyclone, where the raw material is further separated into heavy and light fractions. This paper provides a brief overview of the function of the wing tank, as well as the calculation of several possible variants of media flowrate and velocity through the seal leg of wing tank. In this way, the potential distribution of material was determined, that is, the amount of medium that will go into the further separation process, or will be separated in the overflow, at a variable height of the overflow threshold.
