With LAKOS Separators, the principles of velocity and gravity work together to achieve performance. Heavier particles (indicated by higher specific gravity ratings; see typically separable materials chart)

Particle Size Removal

LAKOS Separators are proven capable of 5-75 micron performance, and particles as large as 1/4 inch to 2 inches (6-51 mm), depending on the model. Excellent pre-filter to finer filtration and fluid treatment systems. Fibrous solids also acceptable.

Flow Range

LAKOS Separators feature individual units for 3 US gpm (0.7 m3/hr) up to 12,750 US gpm (2895 m3/hr). Easily manifolded for even higher (or variable) flow rates.

Pressure Loss

LAKOS Separators operate continuously (no fluctuations) at a steady pressure loss of only 3-12 psi (.2-.8 bar).

Liquid Loss

LAKOS Separators can be purged with virtually zero liquid loss. Purging may be periodic or continuous to suit application needs. No backwashing or filter element cleaning. Reduces chemical make-up requirements.

Replacement Parts

LAKOS Separators have no moving parts to wear out and no filter elements or liners to replace.

Maintenance Requirements

LAKOS Separators may be purged of separated solids without system interruption. Easily automated for no maintenance routine. No filter cleaning. No duplicate equipment needs.

Solids Handling

LAKOS Separators can deliver virtually dewatered solids through a wide choice of collection techniques for minimum waste and easy disposal or recovery.

Space Requirements

LAKOS Separators are compact. Larger models may be specified at low or vertical profile and/or with alternate inlet/outlet configurations to accommodate limited space or piping needs.

Engineering & Tech Support

LAKOS Separators can be easily retrofit to most systems. Complete system packaging is available and customer specifications are welcome.
