Summary:A hydrocyclone separator (1) and a method for classifying solid material in liquid suspension are presented. The hydrocyclone separator comprises a head portion (2) having an inlet conduit (3) and an overflow discharge tube (4) arranged in the head portion (2). The hydrocyclone separator (1) further has an apex discharge port (8) and a tapered separation portion (5) arranged between the head portion and the apex discharge port. The tapered separation portion is tapering distally away from the head portion. Moreover, the hydrocyclone separator has a flow support portion (20) with at least one flow support inlet (9) configured to inject a fluid along at least a portion of an inner surface of the flow support portion (20) towards the apex discharge port (8), when the hydrocyclone separator is oriented such that the apex discharge port (8) is at a vertically elevated position relative to the overflow discharge tube (4). Hereby, a hydrocyclone separator capable of achieving improved operational efficiency with reduced risk of clogging the apex discharge port is presented.
