What is Backpressure in Disc Centrifuges? A paring disc pump within the disc centrifuge bowl converts the rotational momentum of the fluid into pressure. This pressure causes the liquid to discharge out of the bowl. Any restriction in the discharge passage of the liquids exerts pressure on the bowl. This externally created pressure is known… Continue reading Disc Centrifuge Backpressure | A Comprehensive Guide

Machining Coolant Recovery Centrifuge with Pasteurizing
Synopsys A machining coolant recovery centrifuge is a 3-phase disc centrifuge that is widely used to recover water-based coolants for reuse. Coolant pasteurizing, in addition to centrifugation, is worth considering due to its benefits. This article evaluates the benefits of coolant pasteurizing together with a disc centrifuge. Machining Coolant – What is it? Why is… Continue reading Machining Coolant Recovery Centrifuge with Pasteurizing
Removing Metals from Used Engine Oil | Industrial Centrifuge
Used Engine Oil – What is it? Where Does it Come From? Used engine oil is a term used to describe used lubricating oil from Internal Combustion (IC) engines. Lubricating oil tends to lose its lubricating properties with use. Hence, the oil is periodically replaced to prolong engine life and prevent breakdowns. The oil that is… Continue reading Removing Metals from Used Engine Oil | Industrial Centrifuge
10 Causes & Easy Fixes for Disc Stack Centrifuge Vibration
Disc stack centrifuges contain a metal bowl that rotates at a high RPM. Any rotating mass that is not correctly balanced causes vibrations. Therefore all disc stack bowls generate vibrations to varying degrees in the centrifuge under normal conditions. Under certain conditions, the disc centrifuge may vibrate more than usual, which is a cause of… Continue reading 10 Causes & Easy Fixes for Disc Stack Centrifuge Vibration
5 Ways to Increase Disc Stack Centrifuge Efficiency | Illustrated Guide
Users of disc-stack centrifuges often ask about ways they can increase the capacity or quality of the effluent from their centrifuge equipment. There are a

Synopsis Hydraulic oil contamination in the extrusion industry is a common problem that needs constant attention. A centrifuge-based hydraulic oil cleaning system is a perfect fit for this industry to avoid excessive losses related to equipment breakdown from contaminated oil. This article will discuss understanding your hydraulic oil analysis report, the effects of oil contamination,… Continue reading Hydraulic Oil Contamination in Extrusion Industry | A Centrifuge Application
Difference Between Purifier and Clarifier Centrifuge
Synopsis The primary difference between a purifier and a clarifier centrifuge is that a purifier separates one liquid from another liquid and solids simultaneously. Therefore, a purifier is a three-phase separator. A clarifier centrifuge separates a liquid from solids, which is also known as two-phase separation. This illustrated article explains the technical differences between these… Continue reading Difference Between Purifier and Clarifier Centrifuge
Disc Stack Centrifuge Troubleshooting | Paring Disc Block
Synopsis The paring disc (aka impeller) is the centripetal pump built into the disc stack centrifuge bowl. The dense phase (often water) paring disc gets blocked with solids (plugged) in high sludge applications. This article discusses the cause of this problem and possible solutions for Alfa Laval and similar disc-stack centrifuges. Water Paring Disc –… Continue reading Disc Stack Centrifuge Troubleshooting | Paring Disc Block
