Hydrocyclone sand separator filter 4" female for irrigation

FUNCTION AND FEATURES

Why buy a sand separator? The sand or other solid particles present in well water can reduce the efficiency of the irrigation system equipment by plugging and clogging sprinklers, drip emitters, valves, and spray nozzles. 

Why buy L'AGREN ones? Differently from other brands, the L'AGREN hydrocyclones are more robust, reliable and with a longer life because they are not just painted but they are built with 3mm hot galvanized steel. 

How it works: Well water containing sand get into the unit tangentially inducing centrifugal action. This moves heavier particles to sides of the separator. Solids drop into collection chamber at the bottom and they are purged as required from it through a valve (not included).

The pressure and the flow determine the centrifugal speed. The higher the centrifugal strength, the higher will be the percentage of sand separated from the water.

This hydrocyclone separates up to 90% of particles with granulometry higher than 75 μ.
