Liquid Solid Separators for continuous removal of solids from liquids
The Liquid Solid Separator from Russell Finex is an advanced version of traditional liquid solid separators. This multi purpose machine has the ability to deal with soft and fibrous oversized solids and is adaptable to virtually any process.
The centrifugal action of the impeller provides the liquid solid separator with the ability to achieve high capacity separation on fine meshes down to 20 microns.

The Russell Liquid Solid Separator can easily match capacities of 60" diameter vibratory screens and is ideal for applications that require high capacity filtration where investment into other liquid solid separators such as centrifuges is not viable.
Enjoy the many benefits liquid solid separators can offer you:
- Increase your productivity - Capable of handling high flow rates of liquid slurries
- Reduce your costs - Liquid Solid Separators reduce loss of good product and disposal costs of effluent streams
- Operator friendly - Simple to operate and tune for optimum separation quality
- Easy cleaning - Stripdown and assembly easily accomplished by one operator. Spray bar system available for backflushing the mesh either during or at end of a production run.
- Safe operation - Totally enclosed for on-line operation
