Innovative Filtration System Sets New Standard For Industrial Cooling Towers

Sept. 20, 2011 - PRLog -- This innovative new JCX Filtration System from LAKOS Separators and Filtration Solutions is proven to drastically reduce unwanted solids in industrial cooling towers. It’s one of a kind centrifugal action means no moving parts to wear out or replace, no backwashing, and little to no liquid loss. Even with its compact design, the LAKOS JCX effectively removes contaminants from small to large cooling towers.

To create the ultimate filtration solution, LAKOS took the best components in industrial filtration and put them on to a single, steel-skidded package. The JCX System comes with a LAKOS JPX separator, centrifugal pump and premium efficiency motor, basket strainer, and either an automatic ball valve or solid recovery vessel purge option. All of these pieces come together to create one of the most powerful and complete filtration units in the world.

The JCX not only saves energy, money, and water, but also drastically reduces maintenance downtime, making it a revolutionary filtration solution and best practice for cooling tower basins everywhere.

The centrifugal action of the JCX makes it more effective than any other standard filter. Using centrifugal force, solids are forced to move to the outer layer of the separator barrel, where they are spun out into a collection chamber. Disposing of those collected solids could not be easier than with the JCX, which conveniently compresses and concentrates them for easy clean up. And with the centrifugal action doing all the work, there's no need for screens, cartridges, or filters to clean or replace.

In parts of the world like Arizona and Dubai, sand storms bring manufacturing plants to a stand still while dirt and debris is cleaned out of industrial cooling towers. With the JCX installed, however, production can continue seamlessly, even through a sand storm.
