Overview

Komline-FluidQuip Grit Removal Systems remove abrasive particles and foreign material from industrial process streams before they reach pumps, mills, centrifuges and fine separation equipment. The systems use stainless steel hydrocyclones in single- or multi-stage arrangements.

Cyclone size, stage arrangement and purge hardware are selected for the required flow, particle range and plant layout. Two-stage systems can operate from a shared pump loop with low pressure drop and compact installation.

Benefits

Equipment protection: Reduces abrasive wear, blockage and unplanned downtime.
Stable downstream operation: Removes dense non-organic particles before sensitive process stages.
Compact integration: Modular frames and headers fit new systems and retrofit installations.
Low maintenance: Quick-disconnect couplings and automated purge valves simplify service.

Key Features

Spun 316L stainless steel cyclone bodies
Cast 15-5 PH stainless steel heads
Replaceable ceramic lower cones on 8-inch units
Integrated headers and piping for staged separation
Stainless support frame
Quick-disconnect couplings
Automated knife-gate purge valves

Operating Principle

Process slurry enters each cyclone tangentially. Centrifugal force moves dense grit and abrasive particles toward the cyclone wall and lower reject outlet, while the lighter process stream continues through the clean outlet. Multi-stage layouts improve removal across a broader particle range.

Available Options

Other Details

Typical configuration: Three 8-inch first-stage cyclones followed by one 6-inch second-stage cyclone on a shared support structure.
Applications: Mill-stream grit removal, pre-filtration, wet milling slurry conditioning and industrial wastewater pretreatment.
