LAKOS Centrifugal Separators
in Industry

Industrial processes often experience heavier sand and solids problems over conventional applications. LAKOS Industrial Separators are specifically designed to remove these larger, heavier solids from the fluid stream and safely purge them to another location.

LAKOS Separators and Systems help increase process efficiency, reduce maintenance cost, and lower energy costs by removing suspended particles in liquid systems..

Where LAKOS Separators Work

Pre-Filtration: Using a LAKOS Separator as a pre-filter before finer filtration improves efficiency and minimizes liquid loss. As a result: Reduce disposal cost Minimize labor, maintenance downtime, and filter media replacement costs Extend the life of fine filtration and water treatment systems Increase the life of filter cartridges, bags, and eliminates water treatment processesν	Protect Heat Exchangers: LAKOS Separators provide effective protection for heat exchangers against fouling. As a result: Maintain design efficiencies for efficient heat transfer rates Reduce maintenance frequency for heat exchanger equipment Remove suspended grit, dirt, and scale
Reduce Waste:  LAKOS Separators remove solids from liquids in your industrial process and allow the reuse of valuable liquid. As a result: Reduce disposal cost Extend life of process liquids by removing troublesome solids Concentrates solids for easy disposal or allows for recovery of high value solids Reduces replacement of filter elements/media Improves water chemistry Extend the life of pump seals, valves, and process equipment
Protect Spray Nozzles: LAKOS Separators remove solids that clog spray nozzles and other small orifices. This helps to: Maintain original nozzle design for efficient and consistent spray coverage Prevent wear, abrasion, and clogging – reducing the frequency of nozzle replacement	Prevent Solids Accumulation in Sumps and Basins: Using a LAKOS Separator as part of your process cooling system minimizes the accumulation of solids that settle in sumps and basins. As a result: Fewer shutdowns Reduce solids build-up and decreases clean out time Avoids solids-induced microbial growth, decreases chemical use, and increases process liquid life
