Let KREBS® DeSanders solve your fine particle separation problems Our DeSanders are an efficient and inexpensive means for fine particle separation, and built them to your specifications. We offer a variety of sizes with different internal fittings, designs, configurations and mounting options to optimise your performance. Range of separators to meet your needs Whether you are working with high pressure, low solids loading or another complication, turn to KCSS, KD and KS Series DeSanders for your solution. How they work DeSanders, also known as separators, work similarly to cyclones. Fluid with suspended sand or grit feeds into the unit. Our entry design creates a vortex action for the slurry. As the liquid spirals inward, extremely high centrifugal forces move the sand outward, toward the cylinder wall. All desanding units have an internal cone section that accelerates the rotational velocity of the water to produce higher centrifugal forces. As the diameter of the cone gets smaller, the acceleration increases which results in a finer separation and removes more solids. Sand particles progress in a spiral path toward the apex (bottom) of the cone, where they discharge into an accumulator tank that collects the solids. The liquid exits the separator from the overflow at the top. Our DeSanders are simple to operate because they have no moving parts. They provide efficient separation with relatively low power consumption.
