LAKOS Separators Last A LONG Time...But Not Forever.....
LAKOS Separators are extremely well designed filtration units which typically operate without needing a replacement for 20-30 years. However, due to refinements in their design since 2000, older models do NOT perform as effectively as a newer model.
Contact Us so we can recommend a replacement for your veteran LAKOS Separator, or view the LAKOS Product Replacement Guide below. Select the tab for the legendary (pre-2000) LAKOS product you want to replace.

LAX-Industrial Service Separators
Effective fine-solids filtration with on-demand serviceability.
Like all LAKOS Separators, the LAX Series has no moving parts to wear out, no screens, cones, cartridges or filter elements to clean or replace, requires no backflushing or media replacement and operates within a steady, low pressure loss range of 4.5-12psi (35-85 kPa). Other than purging (a simple task easily automated). LAKOS LAX Separators require no routine maintenance and need never be shutdown for routine servicing.
Easy internal access- When an application threatens troublesome solids or conditions, the LAX's flanged, removable upper dome and a convenient inspection/clean-out port at the collection chamber offer direct accessibility to the separator's chambers for either inspection or removal of unusual solids.

RTS- Public Service Separators
Includes RPL and RTH Models
Solids-from-liquids filtration equipment for high flow-rate applications.
LAKOS RTS Separators are the popular choice for filtration problems involving sand, grit and other fine solids. Its performance capability with such solids is 98% of all particles 200 mesh (74 microns) and larger. When the application includeds heavier solids (i.e. metal chips, lead, etc. ) or when the liquid is recirculated, expect even better results.
LAKOS RTS Separators also feature:
- ASME Code Construction
- Pressure relief line for effective solids collection
- Space saving profiles
