Liquid Solid Separation
Industrial liquid solid separation equipment continuously removes solids from liquid slurries
The Russell Liquid Solid Separator™ is an effective solution for the removal of solid materials and contamination from liquid slurries. Using centrifugal force, this machine achieves high capacities on mesh sizes as low as 20 microns, ideal for minimizing effluent disposal costs and reducing product wastage. Suitable for any process that requires separating fibrous solids from liquids, the Russell Liquid Solid Separator™ can match the high capacity of vibratory screens up to 60” to increase your production rates.
The separator is operator-friendly and simplifies the separation process. Easy to optimize, disassemble and clean, this machine can be easily maintained by a single operator. An optional spray bar system is also available for backflushing the mesh, further streamlining the cleaning process.
A multi-purpose machine, the Russell Liquid Solid Separator™ can be adapted to suit your processing needs to improve your production and achieve optimum separation quality.

Frequently asked questions
What is liquid solid separation and how does it work?
Liquid solid separation is used in processing industries that require the separation of solid matter from liquid. Through centrifugal force, denser solid particles are separated from lighter liquids and discharged separately in a continuous process.
What are liquid solid separators used for?
Liquid solid separators are typically used to filter wastewater, either in effluent streams or even aboard ships. Moreover, they are also used in the dairy industry to separate curds from milk in the production of cheese, as well as other food production such as juice concentration, or clarification, and sugar recovery.
