SNP Material Handling Eductors
Your Guide to SNP Material Handling Eductors
Why SNP Eductors Are Essential
When working with dry polymers, it is crucial that they are added and hydrated properly to prevent problems such as lumping or product inefficiency.
If the dry polymer particles are not individually hydrated, clumps of un-dissolved polymer will form. These clumps could result in plugged filters, ball valves and check valves.
Adding dry polymers too quickly or too slowly can create inconsistent batches in your liquid system, which is why a dry polymer dispenser is essential.
How SNP’s Material Handling Eductor Works
SNP’s material handling eductor, also known as a hootonanny or liquid jet pump, can prevent most of these clumping issues.
It provides an efficient system for the addition of water-soluble polymers such as guar, polyvinyl alcohol, xanthan gum, sugar, starches, sodium alginate, polyacrylamides and more.
Using venturi action, our polymer eductor pulls the dry product uniformly into a water vortex thus wetting the particles and ensuring complete hydration of these particles in the system.
How To Install An SNP Dry Polymer Eductor
An SNP dry polymer eductor is easy to install for immediate application and use. See the steps below:
- Give it access to a water source of at least 50 psi to create a strong vacuum.
- Once your water pressure is up to 50 psi, add your material to the intake.
- Allow the eductor do its job to completely wet and disperse the dry polymer particles.
An SNP material handling eductor can be used manually by adding material via the large funnel or it can be integrated into an automated system.
We Offer Durable Eductors
The SNP eductor is designed for long lasting service. SNP stocks a full line of replacement parts should your eductor require service or a spare dry zone insert. Every SNP dry polymer eductor includes complete installation and usage instructions.
