How Rotorflush Liquid Solids Separators Work

Our GT200 Liquid Solids Separators all incorporate Rotorflush’s unique and patented self-cleaning filter mechanism – it's how all Rotorflush self-cleaning filtration products work. Our separators take in dirty or contaminated water - this can be pumped to the separator from your water source using a solids handling pump or similar, or water can be gravity fed.

The tough medium density polyethylene (MDPE) separator tank contains a Rotorflush Filterpump™. The filter pump is a submersible pump with an integral self-cleaning suction intake screen - the filter pump filters and pumps simultaneously. Its self-cleaning suction intake filter can screen as low as 50 microns; filtered water is pumped out of the separator for you to use as required. Particulate and detritus screened out by the self-cleaning intake filter mesh remains in the separator and collects below the filterpump.

A purge valve at the base of the separator allows accumulated debris to be discharged for solids collection; water in the purge can be sent back to source or to drain. The purge can be automated to open at timed intervals for low maintenance operation.

Pumping water and screening water are combined in one powerful, low maintenance, easy to install separation tank, allowing for near continuous liquid solids separation.

The GT200 Liquid Solid Separators comprise a 100m litre tank with four connections. These are

Contaminated water in
Screened water out
An overflow back to source
A purge outlet for Solids removal

The GT200s are designed to cope with up to 220 litres a minute through flow and outlet pressure ranges from 6 m to 11 m head. These are our smallest separators, based around our highly successful 200 mm diameter Omnia range of filter pumps.

Larger capacity separators are available based on our other ranges of filterpumps™
