Recirculated System (or two-stage-separation) |
Particle size vs. particle weight.
Centrifugal separation employs the principles of velocity
and gravity to achieve performance. Essentially, heavier particles ( indicated by
higher specific gravity ratings, see chart at right) can be removed more easily and at
predictably smaller particle sizes (see graph above).
Improved performance when
recirculating liquids.
The continuous recirculation of a given liquid through a
LAKOS Separator will predictably and noticeably remove an increasingly greater percentage
of even final solids ( see graph above). Field and laboratory proven, this attribute can
also be achieved with two-stage "super separators" and is especially valuable
where liquids & chemicals are expensive or where solids-contaminated liquid disposal
is costly or regulated.
Fibrous solids & larger
particles.
Anticipating the need to remove large and fibrous solids as
well as ( or even instead of) very fine solids clearly reinforces the versatility and
value of LAKOS Separators. Limited only by the clearance of the separator's internal
tangential slots or annular transfer ring, LAKOS Separators can remove solids from as
large as 1/4-inch(6 mm) up to 2-inches (51mm). Consult your LAKOS representative for
specific details.
Contact your LAKOS representative for additional solids
performance analysis. Ask about on-site testing.
