More efficient than most
strainers, a Hyflo separator will
remove particles 45 microns in
size, which is the equivalent of a
325 mesh strainer, and heavier
than 1.20 specific gravity. It is
impractical to install a strainer of
this quality as it would create a
large pressure drop and require
frequent cleaning.
The rate of separation depends
on the size and the amount of
the particles being removed.
Independent tests have shown
Hyflo separators can remove
169.25 cubic centimetres of #60
grade of sand in 15 minutes from
six deciliters of water.

and upgraded Showrooms in
Broadmeadow and Maitland,
NSW, the Branch Development
team has been working hard.

Removal Capability
A Hyflo separator is much more efficient than most
strainers as it will remove particles 45 microns in size
(or the equivalent of a 325 mesh strainer) and heavier
than 1.20 specific gravity. A strainer of this quality
would create a large pressure drop, require frequent
cleaning and be very expensive to purchase and install.
A Hyflo separator continuously removes debris from
water. The "rate of separation" depends on the size
and amount of particles being removed. Hyflo has
independent tests which show that 169.15 cubic
centimetres of #60 grade sand was removed in 15
minutes from 60 litres of water.
The next addition to our network
will be a Trade Counter and
Showroom in Eastwood, NSW.
The site has been in development
and planning for some time, and
is looking to be a great location.
At this stage doors are expected
to be open for trade mid-late May.
Low Pressure Drop
Hyflo separators operate efficiently with a pressure
drop of 3 to 10 psi. (21 to 69 kPaD).
Cost-Effective Installation.
Standard pipe sizes and fittings mate directly to new
and existing systems.
How it Works
The Hyflo separator has no moving parts or filter
media. It is a precisely engineered vessel through
which the system liquid passes and is cleaned by

generating maximum centrifugal force.
The Hyflo separator is installed in a vertical position to
allow full gravitational force to quickly pull the solids
downward past the spin/trap plate and into the holding
chamber.

Unfortunately, our Singleton
branch is no longer open,
however the teams at Maitland
and Muswellbrook will be
happy to service the area.
In Victoria, the Warrnambool
Showroom renovations are
expected to be complete by
mid April. The highly anticipated
upgrade will bring the Showroom
in line with some of the country’s
best, with modern fittings and
new layout.
Finally, to tie in with the cover
story, it is expected that 40
Bathroom Showrooms
Australia wide will undergo a
Kohler upgrade by June 30.
This means our showrooms will
display more Kohler products,
along with in situ bathroom
displays and merchandising.
