Centrifuges for Biodiesel / Bio-diesel, Engine Oil and Waste Vegetable Oil (WVO). De-watering and Polishing Guaranteed without the need for disposable filters.
Either of our models will clean waste and or virgin vegetable oil, used motor oil or Biodiesel in the wash process. For proper centrifuge operation the oil must be heated to 60-80 Deg C. Multiple passes will be needed depending on the degree of contamination.
In most cases "rough" filtering with a 100-150 micron strainer is required initially. Then 3-4 cycles of the volume through the centrifuge in most cases will give optimum results and a better finished product. To remove glycerin at the end of the Transesterfication process no heat is needed. More than one pass may be needed. Note: The centrifuge alone can not remove glycerin from vegetable oil. Removing glycerin from vegetable oil can only be done by a chemical process eg. Transesterfication
Further Notes:
- Centrifuges are not a methanol recovery device.
- Centrifuges can not be used to remove lye from Biodiesel production. Water wash is required.
In all cases the centrifuge will de-water BUT on shut down you MUST divert or catch the contents of the rotor before it stops to prevent the water it will hold from draining back into the now clean oil. The use of extra rotors will speed up the process time. Dirty rotors can be switched out in two minutes and then cleaned after they cool. The cleaning of a rotor at 80 deg C is difficult and it will take 15-30 minutes to cool completely.
From this to this !
- All nickel plated internal parts to protect the centrifugefrom corrosion
- Complete with control valve with pressure gauge and bypass valve
- Universal aluminum mounting plate for easy 205L drum mounting
- Proven performance to remove contamination to less than 1 micron.
