Doxie® Cyclones for much cleaner pumps

Key Benefits

Reduced maintenance problems and expenses
Much cleaner fluid
Efficiency for many different jobs

Designed to keep your pumps running smoothly, Doxie^®Cyclones clean the liquid that flows through your pump seals to clean out abrasive particles that can damage your pump seals and create maintenance issues over time. On low solids loading applications a Doxie cyclone can be installed on the pump discharge to remove solids. The overflow of the cyclone is discharged into the pump seal and the underflow is discharged back into the pump inlet.

What we offer

Remove abrasive particles from your pump seals with Doxie Cyclones

Your pumps wear down over time. One of the key contributing factors to this wear and tear is abrasive particles within the liquid coursing through a pump. These particles can cause clogs and internal damage to the pump. Canned pump bearings and mechanical seals are often damaged, resulting in costly maintenance and extended downtime.

When you can reduce the number of parts within your equipment, you have fewer things that can break, and therefore less maintenance. Doxie Cyclones use only centrifugal force to spin abrasive particles from the liquid which flows on to the bearings or the dynamic seals on rotating shafts. The Doxie Cyclone separator has no moving parts, which means no maintenance since there’s nothing to adjust. High separation efficiency provides superior grit removal.

Key benefits

Doxie Cyclones eliminate your pump seal and bearing problems

Reduced maintenance problems and expenses: Any time you experience clogs, leaks or pump malfunctions, you face downtime and maintenance expenses. Doxie Cyclones clean away abrasive particles to protect critical parts like pump seals and bearings.
Much cleaner fluid: Clean fluid is key. Doxie Cyclones help you maintain it using only centrifugal force.
Efficiency for many different jobs: Doxie Cyclones are available in three different models, each tailored to specific maximum operating temperatures, operating pressure drops and maximum working pressures.

How the Doxie Cyclone works

Feed from the pump discharge is piped into the Doxie inlet which enters tangential to the cyclone cone. Much like a whirlpool, the liquid then rotates at a high velocity.

Sand, dirt and other very fine particles are thrown to the wall of the cyclone and pass downward and out the Doxie underflow discharge.

Cleaned liquid spins into the center of the cyclone and is forced upward and out the Doxie overflow discharge. This clean stream is then routed through tubing to the place of usage - the mating surfaces of the shaft seal or to the bearings.

The pump supplies all the pressure drop energy necessary to provide the separation.

Selecting the right Doxie Cyclone for your needs

Designate the flow required. This is often the flow required for a mechanical seal. Since the Doxie cyclone splits the flow 60% to the overflow and 40% to the underflow, divide the mechanical seal flow (GPM) by .60 and this will give the Doxie feed flow required. The Doxie® overflow flushes and cools the mechanical seal.
Establish the size of particles to be removed. The Doxie Type A and 5, (10 mm diam.) are used to remove particles in the range of 3-8 microns in diameter. The Type P Doxie (25 mm diam.) is used to remove particles in the range of 10-15 microns. These size ranges are based on solids having a 2.7 specific gravity suspended in water
