High Efficiency Centrifuge: Boost Your Productivity

How High Efficiency Centrifuge Cuts Energy Use & Lowers Bills

Let us face the facts: energy expenditures. For a lot of operations, running the separation equipment takes up the most energy, and the most old and outdated centrifuges are the costliest. A high efficient centrifuge, however, is like replacing a gas guzzler to a hybrid – a car that does a far better job for less fuel.

This is how it works: Most high efficiency models are equipped with advanced motor configurations and intelligent motor control. The motors operate at variable speed levels which means energy is consumed only when it is truly needed. No energy is spent when the motor does high speed operation and the energy load is below a certain limit. The intelligent motor control system does setting and system controls autonomously. This guarantees that the energy limit the centrifuge is consuming is the most efficient. For instance, when you are working with low density materials, the centrifuge sustains and it greatly reduces energy without compromising on the separation efficiency.

Across months and years, the energy savings from a high efficiency centrifuge multiply. One client from the chemical industry remarked how their high efficiency centrifuge reduced their energy bill by 25% monthly compared to their previous model. That is a considerable amount of savings which can easily be re-invested back into the business, to hire employees or to purchase more equipment. Any business which is trying to optimize their operating costs but doesn’t want to compromise on performance will easily recognize the value of a high efficiency centrifuge. 

High Efficiency Centrifuge Reduces Time For Separation Increasing Output 

The saying time is money is very true. Aware of that, every minute a centrifuge takes to process a given material prolongs the other outputs. Older centrifuges can take anywhere between 20 to 30 minutes to complete a separation cycle, whereas, a high efficiency centrifuge can take 50% of that time and sometimes even more. This has been made possible due to advancements in equipment design and more efficient processes.

Advanced draught drum and spiral designs in high-efficiency models increase the contact area between the material and the centrifuge’s separation components. Just like having a bigger sieve to strain pasta. The more surface area the quicker the water drains. These improves the force of separation. The faster separated the solid from the liquid the better the quality. A food processing plants using a high efficiency centrifuge can increase processed batches of fruit juice from five to eight. All while cleaning and removing the pulp from the juice. 

Having more batches increases the output which in return increases the income. All of this is just basic calculations. The high efficiency centrifuge still saved time but out more business. This goes the same with processed chemicals, wastewater and food products. All of which corder can be separated to keep up with customer demands.

Tricks That Boost Performance For Your High Efficiency Centrifuge

Investing in a high efficiency centrifuge is a good initial investment, but it will only pay off if used properly. For instance, purchasing a high-powered sports car, and neglecting it, will not result in the speed and performance promised. Here are 3 simple tips on maximizing the performance from your high efficiency centrifuge.

First and foremost, stick to a regular maintenance schedule. Even the best centrifuges need a little TLC—daily cleaning to prevent material buildup, weekly checks of bearings and seals, and quarterly lubrication. Build up in the drum or in the spiral can slow down processing time, while worn bearings will make the motor to work harder, wasting energy. Second, ensure that the centrifuge is matched to the material being processed. All materials are not the same—some are dense while others are sticky—and setting the wrong parameters will hurt the efficiency of the system. Look in the manual to establish the recommended settings for each material and make adjustments if necessary. Third, train the personnel operating the centrifuge. Ensure that everyone operating the centrifuge is well versed with the smart controls and is able to diagnose the small problems at their onset. A properly trained team will make fewer mistakes that cause the centrifuge to slow down or leading to excessive wearing out of the system.

If you wish to maintain the efficiency of the centrifuge and amortize the investment, ensure that you do not overlook the aforementioned tips. It is not about doing extra work, it is about working smarter.

Centrifuge Speed Increases Provisioning Quality and Dropped Material Spendings  

Every time some separated material gets rejected or every time a solid gets lost in a liquid has an effect on profit margins. Older models of centrifuge usually do not maintain seamless and consistent quality, which leads to more confusion and more material being rejected. A high efficiency centrifuge improves the quality of separation and retains more solid liquid.  

In Example, ‘Removeing Potable Water’. In Pharmaceutical centrifuge, high efficiency models have tighter tolerances and better separation mechanisms. Therefore, 99.9 percent of liquid loses that can be solid depended on a lost output on an old model. Less time on reprocessing material more time that can be used for blockages or bettering the material. High efficiency models centrifuge lose the old model.

One time with a wastewater treatment plant I worked with was able to recover more useful water through sludge, so they reduced the amount of waste they had to haul, and so they reduced disposal costs as well, which was the goal after switching machines, and this also was able to cut waste by 30%. Any operation which cares about cost and quality, is able to benefit from the consistent separation from a high efficiency centrifuge.
