Centrifugal separator ZSA series

Overview
The loaded airflow enters the ZSA tangentially at the head, generating a vortex sink. Centrifugal forces drive solid or liquid components outward to the wall where they are separated and slide spirally into a collection container. In the lower housing the flow reverses and rises through the immersion tube with a strong circumferential component, forming the cyclone vortex.
