PREPARE FOR SOME AMAZING SEPARATION !

The new Elastech High Efficiency 3" Hydrocyclone is the result of more than two years of research and development by a major oil company. Field performance has proven the 3" Hydrocyclone to be the most efficient of its type available.

Not only does it remove more solids and smaller particles, the 3" Hydrocyclone can replace most hydrocyclones on the market!

HIGHER EFFICIENCY

In comparison to the conventional hydrocyclone with a flow rate of 50 GPM, the 3" Hydrocyclone offers an increase in efficiency of approximately 20% with an underflow of 50% solids, separating particles down to the 10 micron range. This increase in efficiency ultimately saves time and money by reducing wear on equipment downstream and possibly even eliminating the need for additional solids control equipment. The 30 GPM Model offers approximately 25% increase in efficiency at a reduced flow rate.

OUTSTANDING WEAR RESISTANCE

The 3" Hydrocyclone is cast of a proprietary polyurethane compound, formulated to provide outstanding wear resistance. The design improvements versus the conventional hydrocyclone reduces wear in traditional high wear areas. This means less downtime and less frequent part replacement, which saves you downtime and reduces maintenance costs.

HOLDS HIGHER PRESSURES

A screw together connection between the steel reinforced feed chamber and cone section holds higher pressures than the conventional hydrocyclone using the standard "V" retaining ring.

EASIER TO MAINTAIN

Using a 3" Hydrocyclone with an increase in efficiency and outstanding wear resistance can provide less downtime, making an entire operation easier to maintain.

VERSATILE

The 3" Hydrocyclone is available in a variety of configurations for numerous industries.

The Feed Chamber is available as a 30 GPM Flow Model or 50 GPM Flow Model.

The Cone Section is available with the Standard Threaded Apex End for an Adjustable Apex Valve typically used in oilfield applications or a Snap-On Apex End for a non-adjustable, consistent underflow. The Cone is also available with a Ceramic Insert at the Apex End of the Cone for added wear resistance when being used in extreme conditions.

As mentioned previously, the Apex Ends of the Cones are available Threaded for an Adjustable Apex Valve with Adjusting Nut or Snap-On that comes with your choice of Fixed Underflow Apex Valves. The Fixed Underflow Apex Valves are available with these orifice sizes: 0.24", 0.30", 0.40", 0.50" and 0.60". These Fixed Underflow Apex Valves provide an approximate Underflow Rate between 2 and 10 GPM (Water).

The 3" Hydrocyclone can be used in a variety of industrial applications including: Oilfield desilting operations, paper and pulp processing, paint overspray solids recovery, metal processing, chemical processing and hazardous waste incineration.

In Oilfield Desilting Applications, the 3" Hydrocyclone is designed to fit most OEM desilters and mud cleaner manifolds. Differences in the Feed Chamber make this possible, so when ordering please specify which type of hydrocyclone is being replaced. The 50 GPM Model Feed Chamber with the Standard Threaded Apex End Cone and Adjustable Apex Valve is a direct replacement for most 4" Oilfield Hydrocyclones.

In Paper and Pulp Processing, the 3" Hydrocyclone can be equiped with a sight glass at the Underflow End of the Apex Valve. For attatchment of the 3" Hydrocyclones to inlet and outlet manifolds, grooves are molded in which accomodate standard 2" victaulic couplings.
