[H2] You Ask We Answer

What Are The Utility Requirements & Specifications Necessary For Centrifuges Such As Steam, Water & Compressed Air?

The requirements for running centrifuge machines are:Steam Supply: ¾” NPT Saturated Steam @ 15 PSI.Water Supply: ¾” NPT 5 GPM @ 50 PSI 150 TO 210 degree F.Electrical: Varies by machine sizeAir Supply: ¼” NPT 80 PSI.

What Do I Do If My Machine Goes Down After Hours?

We are proud to offer 24/7 emergency service for our customers.

Explain The Difference Between Using Oil Or Grease In The Bearings - Which One Is Preferable & Why?

Oil continuously supplies lubrication to the bearings keeping them cool and providing longer life. Grease is thicker & tends to have higher maintenance requirements than oil does.

Do You Have Centrifuge Machines Available For Rent?

Yes! Our most commonly used rental unit for testing is our STM-2000. We also rent our SLC-5000 and CLC 5000 for smaller scale projects.

What Is The Difference Between A Centrifuge & A Centrifugal?

As far as our machines go, absolutely nothing!  Depending on the area of the world you are, or the industry you are in, you will likely hear these machines being referenced as either.  Grammatically, centrifugal is the force or action the centrifuge produces.

[H2] Operate YourFiltering CentrifugesTrouble Free

Centrifuges isolate solids from liquids, or separate one liquid from another. They bring about the settling of a heavy phase out of a light phase, or the filtration of suspended solids from a liquid, by magnifying the forces of gravity. Although centrifuge usage is widespread, there are many misconceptions as to proper operation and maintenance of this equipment.

[H2] High Efficiency Continuous Centrifugals Used in “A” Massecuite

The use of high performance, high throughput continuous centrifuges is a viable option to process “A” massecuite and then re-melt the sugar in the centrifuge to feed a refinery, as successfully demonstrated at the San Cristobal Mill in Mexico. This was accomplished by adding new engineered components to standard design continuous centrifuges enabling 5 specially equipped machines to successfully replace a larger battery of 26 older batch centrifuges.

[H2] M 18. Advances in Head Design for Large Suspended Batch Centrifugals

A presentation, entitled “An Investigation of the Vibration Characteristics and Unbalance Tolerance of Large (1500+) Suspended Batch Fugals”, was made at a workshop at the 2012 ASSCT conference. The material presented was insightful and demonstrated the need for improvements in the design of these centrifugals and the supporting structure.
