FBD Swirl Seperator

Q: What flow can the standard Swirl Separator handle?

It is recommended for flows up to 25 LPM, or 1,500 LPH.

Q: What is the difference between the Swirl Separator and the Radial Flow Settler?

The Swirl Separator is a compact low-flow vessel that settles solids using a circular flow path, while the Radial Flow Settler handles far higher flows, from 1,000 up to 100,000 LPH, in a much larger vessel.

Q: Why use it with a dual drain tank?

A dual drain sends the solids-rich bottom flow straight to the separator, so it treats a small concentrated stream instead of your whole recirculation flow.

Q: Are fittings included?

No — the unit is supplied as the vessel only and excludes any fittings.

Q: Can I get a larger unit?

Yes — larger models can be made to specification; send us your design flow and drain arrangement.

Q: Does it need power to run?

No — it works on gravity and the incoming flow, with no moving parts and no running costs.

Q: How do I get a price?

Send us your system flow rate, drain arrangement and delivery location and we will come back with a price and lead time.
