FAQs of Hydraulic Vertical Separator

1. What are the key differences between a vertical separator and a horizontal one?

1. Installation floor space: The floor space occupied by a vertical separator is smaller than that of a horizontal separator. It can save the used space.

2. Separation efficiency of air and impurities: Vertical separators have higher separation efficiency. In vertical separators, gravity can play an auxiliary role. Lighter bubbles will rise to the top and be discharged. Heavier impurities will fall to the bottom and be discharged. In horizontal separators, the water flow velocity can sometimes carry air and smaller particles along with it. This may reduce the separation efficiency.

3. Pipeline configuration: The installation direction will affect the pipeline layout. Vertical separators are suitable for systems where the water supply pipe and return pipe are laid vertically. Horizontal separators are more suitable for systems with long horizontal pipelines.

4. Internal design: Compared with vertical separators of the same flow rate, horizontal separators usually require more complex internal baffles or a larger diameter. The vertical design uses the height of the equipment for separation. This is a more efficient use of the equipment’s volume.

2. Can the connection method of the Hydraulic Vertical Separator be customized?

Of course! The connection method of the threads can be customized according to your needs. The following threads are available for selection:

1. Common Standard Pipe Threads: There are NPT and BSP, which are applicable to American and British standard tapered pipe threads, respectively. BSP is also divided into BSPT and BSPP. The former is a tapered pipe thread, used for sealed connections. The latter is a cylindrical pipe thread (parallel thread), which usually requires a gasket or sealing ring to achieve sealing.
2. Metric Threads: They comply with the ISO 261/724 standard. The unit is millimeters. For example, M20x1.5. They are often used for small valves, instrument connectors, or customization of specific European mechanical equipment.
3. Other customizable features: The two ends of the valve body can be customized to be internal threads or external threads, respectively. It also supports customization of union, compression, or flared connection methods.

3. What is the MOQ for a fully customized hydraulic separator?

Regarding the minimum order quantity for custom Hydraulic Vertical Separators, we can support a minimum order of 500 units. This means you can first use a smaller order to verify whether the product is suitable for this market without bearing huge inventory pressure. When it is verified to be suitable for this market, you can continue to place additional orders, which saves on inventory costs and time costs.

4. What is the lead time for repeat orders of the Hydraulic Vertical Separator?

For repeat orders of products like hydraulic vertical separators, our standard mass production delivery cycle is approximately 30 days.

During this 30-day process, we will confirm the specifications for the production of the Hydraulic Vertical Separator, purchase raw materials, and package the product after production is completed. Moreover, quality inspection will run through the entire process. Our stable 30-day delivery cycle can assist you in efficient inventory planning, ensuring that your business can continuously and stably supply the market.

It should be noted that if your order involves a completely new design that requires opening new molds, the delivery time will be approximately 45 days.

5. How to trace the quality of raw materials for the Hydraulic Vertical Separator?

We have our own set of procedures to trace and ensure the quality of raw materials for Hydraulic Vertical Separators:

1. Incoming inspection and reporting: We have a dedicated laboratory. All purchased raw materials will be inspected, and a report will be issued. This ensures that every batch of brass or stainless steel we use meets the standards.

2. Material analysis: Our quality inspection team will conduct material analysis on raw materials. Verify the chemical composition and physical properties of the materials. This prevents unqualified materials from entering the production line from the source.

3. Systematic inspection records: We have a team of 9 quality inspection/quality assurance experts. They will inspect all incoming materials and spare parts. The inspection results will be recorded in the “Inspection Report”. The quality process of each link can be traced.

6. Should the Hydraulic Vertical Separator undergo accelerated life cycle testing?

We ensure that the hydraulic vertical separator has excellent durability and a long service life through a series of rigorous tests. Our goal is to ensure that the Hydraulic Vertical Separator is durable and has excellent performance.

1. Pressure resistance and tightness testing: We conduct Hydraulic tests and Pneumatic tests on the products. And we ensure 100% pass the leak-proof test.

2. Mechanical performance testing: We will conduct Mechanical tests to verify the structural strength and fatigue resistance of the products.

3. Corrosion resistance testing: In our laboratory, we are equipped with a Salt Spray testing machine. This is an accelerated test that simulates harsh environments. It is used to evaluate the corrosion resistance of brass or stainless steel materials, thereby ensuring that the products can work stably for a long time under various water quality conditions without causing secondary pollution.

7. What is your factory’s production capacity for hydraulic separators per month? 

The overall shipment capacity of our factory is to transport products in 20 containers per month. Although this quantity includes all 582 types of valves and pipe fittings we produce, it demonstrates our strong production scale and ability to handle large-volume orders. We have:

• Advanced equipment: We have 120 automated CNC robotic machine tools.
