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
Centrifuge RCF and RPM | Difference & RCF Calculation
RCF and RPM are standard terms in the context of centrifuges. This article explains the difference between the two terms and why RCF is more relevant to centrifuges. Though the two terms are related to each other mathematically, they are vastly different from the application’s perspective.
Disadvantages of a Disc-Stack Centrifuge | Illustrated Guide
Synopsis Though there are several advantages to disc-stack centrifuge, there are some equally important disadvantages. The following are some of the main disadvantages of disc-stack centrifuges and corresponding workarounds. Particle Size in Process Liquid The stack of conical discs (disc-stack) has a preset spacing between the discs. Typically this is in the range of 500… Continue reading Disadvantages of a Disc-Stack Centrifuge | Illustrated Guide
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 | Bowl Opening / Closing
Synopsis A self-cleaning disc stack centrifuge ‘cleans’ itself by ejecting the separated sludge from the bowl. The centrifuge bowl has to ‘open’ and ‘close’ to facilitate this ejection step. Therefore, the opening and closing of the bowl are critical steps in the disc centrifuge operation. A bowl not opening or not closing is a common… Continue reading Disc Stack Centrifuge Troubleshooting | Bowl Opening / Closing
