The Revolutionary Harmsco Hurricane Combines Three Filtration Technologies In A Single Compact Design

Centrifugal Separation To Remove Dense Particles From Liquids

Liquid enters the Hurricane filter's outer chamber tangentially, producing a rotational flow. This flow pattern creates a centrifugal force which is used to separate dense particles such as sand, rust, grit and metal fines from liquids. Heavy particles drop to the bottom of the filter's outer chamber where they are discharged manually, automatically or continuously. With the dense particles removed, liquid and the light solids rise up, over and into an inner chamber where the rotational flow is continued.

Up-Flow Cartridge Filtration And Angled Pleats For Lightweight Particle Removal

Lighter solids are removed in the filter's inner chamber by a proprietary filter cartridge made with deep, angled pleats which are directed toward the liquids rotational flow. As forces of the liquids collide with the cartridge, the pleats "flutter" which distributes particulate evenly within the pleated area. Filter efficiencies are dramatically improved to provide longer filter runs and reduced filter costs. Hurricane filter elements are available in a wide range of micron ratings and may be cleaned and reused in most applications and most micron ratings.

Genuine Harmsco Products Assure Superior Performance

• Tangential entry in outer chamber for centrifugal separation of dense particles.
• Purge drain provided to discharge dense solids manually, automatically or continuously.
• Inner chamber for pleated filter cartridge to remove lightweight particulate.
• Patented, deep angled pleats lean toward filter's rotational flow for increased solids removal, longer filter runs, and reduced cartridge replacement costs.
• Single filter cartridge is easy to remove. Superior sealing provided with patented, dual durometer end caps and o-rings built-in.
• Proprietary Polyester-Plus filter media is highly efficient; cleanable and reusable in most applications and most micron ratings.

Satisfied Customers

Waste Treatment A metal finishing plant installed our HUR-170-HP filters (two with 0.35 cartridges; two with one micron cartridges) to lower zinc levels in their effluent. After installation and testing, the firm was in compliance and written approval was granted. Customer reports the cartridge (above) removed twenty pounds of particulate.		Cooling Tower Filtration Westory Building, located in Washington, DC, installed a Hurricane Filter on a side-stream to eliminate clogged strainers and fouled condenser coils on their forced draft cooling tower. The Hurricane cartridge (see above) can be cleaned and reused "numerous" times according to the building superintendent.
Surface Waters The State of Vermont utilized three Hurricane filters for surface water filtration and to protect the public from Giardia Cysts. After filtering 500,000 gallons of water, the initial 50 micron cartridge was cleaned several times and replaced once. The 20 micron and one micron final filters were never cleaned or replaced.		Public Water Supply The New York State Bureau of Public Water Supply Protection determined Harmsco Hurricane Filters (with five micron cartridge), following pre-treatment and preceding Harmsco Up-Flow Filters (with one micron cartridge) are recommended equipment options for water supplies up to 15,000 gallons per day.
