General Characteristics Their anti corrosive protection includes surface treatment using phosphoric acids followed by electrostatic polyesteric paint, while other available paint and material options are also available pending request. The product is supplied with multiple couplings and flanges options availability (DIN,ASA, etc) conforminng to all required international standards. Product Specification Sheet: Y & KE series DROP Filtration Systems Irrigation Equipment The Y series sand separators (hydrocyclones) are used for the filtration of water that is extracted from bore holes or from other sources where sand is suspended in the water. The Y series filters can provide under certain circumstances high efficiency (>90%) and continuous operation, while occupying minimal instalation space. They are used mainly for withholding large quantities of sand and other solid particles heavier than water. Their high efficiency is the result of the transformation of water pressure to a centrifugal force, which forces all heavier than water particles to move towards the filter walls, and after the loss of speed due to friction to end up in the collection chamber. The main parts of the Y series filters are the metal body and the collection chamber. The filter is cleaned manually and with no interuption to the irrigation process, by means of opening the drain vane at the collection chamber. HEAD SYSTEMS The head systems are complete systems that are mainly used in bore holes or from other sources where water is heavily contaminated with sand. A head system comprises of a hydrocyclone, a fertilizer head and a screen filter (O or K series), or a disc filter. The advantage of this filtration array is that it comprises a fertilization head within the array, hence hydrofertilization can be achieved during irrigation. Heads are available in the following sizes: • DN 50 (2") • DN 65 (21/2") • DN 80 (3") • DN 100 (4") Smaller or larger fertilization systems are available following demand.

Indicatively, a typical operation efficiency of a hydrocyclone filtering water with particles >10 microns and particle specific gravity > 1.8 is greater than 90% by...
