LAKOS Waterworks PWC Series Separators

Separator Operation
LAKOS 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.
