(2) The inlet separator is necessary for any vacuum box application that removes water. By removing water and fiber from reaching the vacuum pump will ensure consistent vacuum levels during operation. If the vacuum pump processes this extra water and solids it can cause vacuum surging, buildup and erosion in the vacuum pump, plus premature belt and motor failure.
Manufactured from 304L or 316L Stainless Steel
Designed for velocities 750-800 ft/min for proper water separation
Can be mounted on the floor or hung above the ground.
A weir tank is a water collection tank for vacuum boxes. The tank has a V-notch with labels that shows the flow exiting the tank. The V-notch has been used for thousands of years to measure flow and works perfectly for "white water" since they're no parts to plug.
