NCS Series (25-1,000 CFM)
Cyclone Separator
Next’s NCS cyclone water separators provide the most cost-effective method to remove entrained moisture from compressed air with minimum potential for re-entrainment. Designed and engineered compressed air or technical gasses in industrial applications. The three-part housing with vortex vanes offers low differential pressures at high flow rates. An engineered insert in the cyclone head creates a centrifugal force that pushes liquid and particulate to the housing wall. Friction within the housing causes the liquid and particulate to lose a portion of its kinetic energy and drop out of the higher circulating air stream. The collected condensate is removed by either an internal float drain or an electronic zero loss drain, while the separated compressed air or gas exits downstream.

Correction Factors
NCS Separator Element
- The cyclone profile increases the efficiency of the NCS separator line.
- The new structure offers the possibility to enter the cyclone cartridge for inspection and maintenance.
- Engineered using the latest fluid dynamic principles to optimize liquid removal efficiency.
- The vortex arrester ensures that the separated liquid cannot re-enter the air or gas stream, greatly improving drainage efficiency.

Principle of Operation
The complex design of Next’s NCS Separator utilizes and established principle of centrifugal force to separate entrained liquid.
- An engineered insert in the cyclone head creates a centrifugal force that pushes liquid and particulate to the housing wall.
- Friction within the housing causes the liquid and particulate to lose a portion of its kinetic energy and drop out of the higher circulating air stream.
- The collected condensate is removed by either an internal float drain or an electronic zero loss drain, while the separated compressed air or gas exits downstream.

- Element Vortex Vanes
- Cyclone deflector
- Cyclone expander
- Internal Condensate float Drain
Next Air & Gas Performance Advantages

Stop Lock Feature
Stop lock design creates perfect performance seal to ensure efficiency.
Fully Corrosion Protected
Anodized cast aluminum and powder coated with epoxy finish for full corrosion protection.
Compact & Light Weight
Advanced housing and element design prove a smaller, more compact and lightweight filter which is efficient and easy to maintain.
Stainless Auto Condensate Drain
Specially designed stainless-steel auto drain system protects from corrosion and other contaminants.
Why Moisture Separators are important
Bulk water separation is a critical early step in the compressed air treatment process. Water separators remove large diameter water droplets from the air stream, enhancing the performance and durability of downstream treatment equipment such as coalescing filters and air dryers. Water separators are typically installed immediately downstream of coolers and wet receiver tanks.
Next’s Compressed Air & Gas Separation
The need to effectively and efficiently dry, filter and separate compressed air & gas cannot be overemphasized. Ineffective purification can lead to system and / or equipment damage and product spoilage. Inefficient purification can lead to unnecessarily high operating and maintenance costs.
With over 40 years of compressed air purification experience behind us, Next has developed an extensive line of air / gas separation products with a range of efficiencies and optional features to cost effectively meet any of your needs. Our pre-filters and post-filters can be configured to suit the requirements of your specific application.
