Benefits at a glance

• Maximum efficiency and reliability
• High flexibility
• Noise insulation
• Spacious design
• Cost advantage
• Minimal cleaning effort

Characteristics
Developed for dewatering paper, board and tissue machines, the water separator is a central component of TURBAIR® vacuum systems. Its key characteristics alongside reliability and peak efficiency are the ability to adapt flexibly to paper quality, paper speed, felt permeability and variable vacuum levels.

Four-stage separation process

• Inlet
The air mixed with water is directed against the separator wall. This process removes approximately
70 – 80 % of the water.

• Baffle plates
The remaining water droplets are removed using gravitational separation. Remaining particles are captured on the plates and run down to the bottom.

• Outlet nozzle
Redirecting the airflow before it enters the outlet pipe serves as an additional safeguard, capturing any remaining particles.

• Extraction pump
A non-clogging, self-regulating vertically mounted pump efficiently discharges water against atmospheric Pressure.

Chamber construction
For new installations typically concrete type chambers are applied. The advantages include cost efficiency, noise insulation and reliability. When replacing existing vacuum systems with efficient TURBAIR® solutions, stainless steel chambers are also applied for their reduced installation times and compact design.

Maintenance and service
The easily accessible designed water separator chambers have a minimal cleaning effort. The cleaning can be easily performed using a standard high-pressure cleaner.
