Hydrocyclone Sand Separators

The hydrocyclone separator is a simple device, easy to operate and maintain. It has 2",3",4",6" and batteries for more flowrate

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The device is called hydrocyclone especially designed for deep well water. It has no moving parts or screens.

The hydrocyclone separates sand and other solid matter with very little head loss and 90% or better efficiency, no head loss build up and no clogging by solids beings eparated.

Its versatility in system configurations and its economy in installation are some of its great advantages.

The hydrocyclones use a tangential injection flow process, enhancing the centrifugal forces andmoving solid particles outwards. The dispersed particles, move downwards in a spiral path into anunderflow chamber, while clean liquid moves upwards to the center of the spiral, towards the topoutlet.

The underflow chamber is drained automatically without interfering with the proper functioning ofthe hydrocyclone.

Available in the following inlet sizes: 2", 3", 4", 6" and batteries.

 Available with three end connections: Thread (M), Flange (F), Victaulic (V).

The hydrocyclone has a 100 micron protective coating of extra durable polyester applied electrostatically and oven cured on a zinc-phosphate layer for maximal anti-corrosion protection.

We als can provide stainless steel hydrocyclones as well.

Technical Data

Recommended head loss for effective operation 0.2 - 0.5 bar (3 - 8 psi).

Maximum recommended working pressure: 8 bar (120 psi).

Maximum pressure:  10 bar (150 psi).

Horizontal water inlet/top vertical outlet.

Separation efficiency: as a rule the separation improves as the hydrocyclone diameterdecreases and head loss increases.

Miniature hydrocyclones may be used for easy sampling of liquids, for determining filter(including larger hydrocyclones) operation and efficiency, and for testing the feasibility ofhydrocyclone operation for the problem at hand.
