Principle of Operation “How it Works”
LAKOS eHTX Separators are designed specifically to remove solids from liquids. Each
model is calculated for use within a prescribed flow range for maximum performance and
solids removal. Flow rates above and below the recommended range may affect such
performance.
Upon tangential entry, the liquid/solids are drawn through internal tangential slots and
accelerated into the separation chamber where solids heavier than the carrying liquid are
centrifugally separated and allowed to accumulate in the unit’s collection chamber for
eventual purging. The liquid (free of separable solids) is then drawn to the vortex and up
through the separator’s outlet.
