Compare your operating costs to the payback value LAKOS offers in these areas. Call us for immediate and specific application assistance.


Spray nozzle & small orifice protection. Avoid fouling, clogging and/or abrasive wear. Eliminate excessive downtime, maintenance and/or parts replacements.


Prevent excessive solids accumulation in pits, sumps & tanks. Cooling tower basins. Quench pits. Parts washing tanks. Eliminate solids build-up and the inevitable shutdowns, shovelling & maintenanceroutines. Avoid solids-induced bacteria growth and premature liquid disposal.


Extend the life of finer filtration & water treatment systems. Reduce fine-micron cartridge consumption with the pre-removal of larger solids (see Performance at right). Extend the operating cycles of filter elements and water treatment processes. Reduce maintenance, downtime and filter media replacement costs.


Heat exchanger protection. Control solids fouling. Remove precipitated grit & scale. Maintain optimum system efficiencies and avoid excessive energy loss.


Waste minimization. Extend the life of process liquids by removing troublesome solids. Concentrate separated solids for easy disposal or recovery/re-use. Reduce your EPA-regulated waste status for significant process-related savings.


With product options to satisfy even the toughest applications, LAKOS Separators can be specified for a wide range of solids-removal solutions.
