Anyone who pumps water for any purpose - irrigation, industrial, or private and public water systems - knows their greatest enemy is sand, silt and grit. These elements reduce efficiency of equipment by plugging and clogging sprinklers, drip emitters, valves and spray nozzles. They also cost time and money in repairs, replacement parts, downtime, wasted energy, and a loss of productivity. Decreased efficiency is also a major problem as equipment gradually clogs up or wears out, lowering productivity until replacement occurs.

The Centrifugal Solids Separator -- designed for easy installation- removes 98 percent of 200 mesh or larger sand, grit, and other solids heavier than water before entering expensive equipment. Liquid/solids enter the unit and set up a circular flow with centrifugal action tossing heavier abrasives downward in a spiral motion to the separation chamber. There, the particles drop into the separator's collection chamber and are purged from the system. The purified water is drawn to the separator's vortex and up through the outlet. It can now be dispersed to equipment without causing clogging, plugging or wear.
