Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Are these in stock?
A.Currently most of these are built to order and require 5 to 10 days before shipping. We do stock some sizes, please call or email us at [email protected].
Q. What size particles do the centrifugal separators remove?
A.These separators will remove 98% of all particles 74 microns and up.
Q. Are there moving parts?
A. No there are no moving parts to wear out or replace.
Q. Do I have to change a filter cartridge or clean a filter?
A. No the centrifugal separators use centrifugal force to spin out and trap sediment. There are no filters. A simple flushing can be done to manually flush the bottom of the separators, or the flushing can be done automatically with an auto-flush valve.
Q. How much pressure loss is there through these separators?
A. 5 to 12 PSI depending on flow rate.
