Cool Demo. Thanks for sharing. :) I believe I understand what happens to the dirt. What I don't quite grasp is the clean water aspect. Where does the clean water begin to exit the separator from? Would a device like this be suitable to help clean the water for an aquaponics system?
The clean water exits at the top outlet of the separator. Basically the water is pumped into the chamber and begins rotating inside the separator. All of particles move toward the outside edge of the cylinder due to centrifugal force. The outside edge will develop friction and water in that area slows down. Heavy particles that move into this low flow zone settle out and fall down under the collection plate. The faster moving water in the center of the water column is now clean and exits at the top.
Regarding Aquaponics. A centrifugal separator will remove particles that are large than 74 microns in size. I would imagine that an Aquaponics system will have smaller particle size or lighter materials that will not settle out in time. The way to test any system for compatibility is to do a "Jar Test" This is done by collecting a water sample with your particulate in a clear jar or glass. Shake it up and set it down. Wait 3 minutes and observe the material that has settled on the bottom. This is what you will be able to remove with a centrifugal separator. Anything still floating will not be removed by the separator and will need to be filtered by another filtration method. It's still a good idea to use a centrifugal separator to remove the larger material first to significantly reduce the load on secondary filters.
+Alfa Romeo The Sand Separator can remove particles larger than 74 micron in size. Smoke would be much too small to remove. A simple test can be performed by collecting a water sample in a glass jar or plastic water bottle. Shake it up and let the particles settle to the bottom. Wait 3 minutes and everything sitting on the bottom of the jar can be removed by the separator. Anything still floating will not be removed.
Our centrifugal separator will remove particles larger than 74 micron in size. You can do a simple test to see if our filter will remove your contaminants. Collect a sample in a clear jar and shake it up. Let everything settle for 3 minutes. Whatever settled to the bottom will be removed by our filter. If anything is still floating after 3 minutes those particles will pass through our filter.
Maa, our centrifugal separators can remove particles larger than 74 micron in size. A simple test you can perform is to collect a water sample with the known contaminants into a clear jar or glass. Shake it up and let this settle for 3 to 4 minutes. Everything that settles to the bottom in the time period can be removed with a centrifugal separator. Anything still suspended in the water will pass through our filter.
Nowadays, centrifugal filters get advertised as an expensive, high-tech machine. But that's not true. Historically, many people ranging from farmers, to factory owners, to housewives used a centrifugal filter to separate particle matter out of river or creek water. Dirty creek water, after the solids have been removed, is easy to boil and drink. If you look at all the UA-cam videos which show centrifugal separators, you'll find "fully enclosed" machines which require a lot of maintenance. But the simple kind of centrifugal separator is just two pieces of clear tubing, with a set of plastic fins inside. It's a twenty dollar gizmo. The ass-bandit demonstrating the machine in the video is just trying to trick people. He wants you to spend eight hundred dollars. Not twenty dollars.
Is it possible to purchase a model just like your demonstration one? I would like to use it for an aquarium.
Can we use in paper mill industry? For remove dust, plastic, metal, and other particles?
Can you use this to put at the end of smoke stacks to combat pollution?
Will this work on gold concentrate to separate the gold from sands, etc?
Can you do this for more viscous solutions?
Maximum viscosity the lakos separators can handle while still being effective is 20cP or 100 SSU
I have a dugout water supply, and obviously the water is not good
Will this type of separator give me drinking water
What doesnt it seperate

Why don't they do this on large scale for ocean ship spills?
I am interested in this, is there any local supplier here in manila philippines.
GREAT separator!
Can it be used in paper industry?
Or in organic matter separation to reduce COD ?
excellent design with vortex included to clean my pond and remove sand... how can I get this to South Africa?
We ship internationally. Just email us with your details and someone will provide you with a quote. Mail to csd@cannonwater.com
How clean is the water? Does it work to separate nanoparticles as smoke? How much cost the device?

hello Mr.David
i show this video. it is really good. i just want to ask that how much size of particles can we remove by this centrifugal separator?

he's not stealing from anyone. He is offering a ready-made solution. No thievery, he is not forcing you to buy. Get your language straight.
This is for industrial applications moron
W done . Go ahead .
I need to see a real dirty water. water with mud. Oh my...
Was that poo in the water?
