Centrifugal Sand Separator - Model PCS

Yardney Centrifugal Sand Separators are ideal for removal of suspended solids and inorganic materials with a specific gravity of 2 or greater. This highly effective system will provide consistent, simple removal of inorganic material down to 75 microns. Easily installed, these carbon steel units are rated to 150 psi with threaded or flanged inlet and outlet connections. Smaller models are designed for vertical installation while larger models are angled and floor or ground mounted. Larger flow separators and custom designed systems are available.

Sizing must be within the specified flow range for proper centrifugal action.

Applications

Removal of sand, rock, grit and other inorganic contaminants to protect drip and micro-irrigation systems with fine mesh filtration down to 200 mesh or 75 microns
150 psi standard operating pressure (high pressure systems available)
Flow ranges from 4 gpm
Removal of solids with a specific gravity of 2 or greater
Serves as an excellent pre-filter to allow for improved sand media or screen filter performance by removing the gross solids out of the water source

Advantages

Sand removal efficiency of 98% of solids down to 200 mesh or 75 microns
Multiple units in series provide higher efficiencies of filtration
Units are available in ASME code or non-code construction
Available with a manual or automatic solids purge valve system
Special alloys and coatings are available for prolonged life in required applications
Made in USA
