Title: A Quick Guide Before Buying Centrifuge System
1A Quick Guide Before Buying Centrifuge System
2The centrifuge is piece of equipment which is
complex but a significant investment for the
owners. There are some things that should keep in
mind while you are purchasing a centrifuge.
3Flow Rate Operational Speed
Maximum flow rates and operational speeds rely on
the type of material which is being processed
into the machine. Most of the centrifuge
machines gives RPMs of 4000-5000 range which is
enough for cleaning of the fuels and dewatering.
4It is better to know that the machine is designed
for what types of liquids or solvents before
making any purchase. For handling wastewater and
bio fuels, stainless steel bowls and rotors are
commonly used whereas carbon fiber is used in
case the material is highly corrosive.
Centrifuge Materials
5These centrifuges are meant for the purpose of
providing manual, semi-auto or automatic
cleaning. No doubt that auto cleaning feature
makes the equipment costly but efficient as well.
Manual cleaning is not an accurate choice if you
are considering speed only.
Cleaning Requirements
6Continuous Flow vs Batch
Continuous-flow centrifuges reduces the
processing time in case of large volumes of
liquid and best suited for large-scale
processing. Whereas, batch type centrifuges are
meant for small volume configuration.
