CENTRIFUGAL SEPARATORS

PRINCIPLE :
Driven by the inlet pressure, liquid with particles is accelerated through
tangential slots/holes towards the centre of the separator.
By the rotation of the liquid, a vortex is formed in the centre of the separator
and by the centrifugal force a separation of heavy particles takes place.
Separated particles are accumulated in the bottom collection chamber and
are then periodically evacuated.

ADVANTAGES:
Centrifugal separators have no moving parts and no filter elements, screens,
bags or cartridges and have therefore a number of advantages compared to
conventional filtration methods:

NO MAINTENANCE. Equipped with an automatic purge valve, separated

particles are evacuated without human intervention, fully automatically.

MAJOR COST SAVINGS.

 No costs for filter elements, cartridges, bags.

 No cleaning costs.
 No downtime. No need to stop production process for cleaning or for
exchange of filter elements.
 Very little liquid loss by purging compared to major losses by
backwashing of automatic strainers or sand media filters.
