Netafim Arkal 50mm Plastic Hydrocyclone Sand Seperator (15–25 m³/hr)
Netafim 50mm (2") Arkal Plastic Hydrocyclone Sand Seperator MBSP Including Accumulator
Efficient Centrifugal Sand Separation for Irrigation & Water Systems
The Netafim Arkal 50mm (2") Plastic Hydrocyclone Sand Separator is designed to effectively remove sand, grit, and gravel from water before it reaches your irrigation or industrial system. Using centrifugal force, this separator helps prevent abrasive wear on nozzles, valves, drippers, and filters—significantly extending the lifespan and performance of your equipment.
Ideal for well water and other high-sediment sources, the unit can be used as a standalone system or installed in parallel batteries to handle higher flow rates. To ensure full system protection, it is highly recommended to install a disc filter downstream to catch any remaining organic material.
How It Works:
Water enters the separator tangentially, generating a high-speed circular flow. This centrifugal motion pushes heavier particles (sand and gravel) toward the outer wall of the chamber, where they settle at the bottom. Accumulated sediment is then discharged via a ¾" drain valve, which can be operated manually or hydraulically.
FEATURES
- Efficient Sand Removal: Protects irrigation and filtration systems from sand-related damage and wear.
- Centrifugal Separation Technology: No moving parts—uses water flow to separate particles naturally.
- Durable Plastic Construction: Corrosion-resistant and lightweight for easy handling and installation.
- Flushable Sediment Chamber: ¾" drain valve for easy periodic flushing of collected debris.
- Modular Use: Install as a single unit or in parallel with multiple units for larger systems.
- Low Maintenance: No screens or cartridges to replace—just occasional sediment flushing.
