Octagonal Blender

Salient Features:

Bag Lifting Top Discharge type of Centrifuge is the basic type of centrifuge for solid-liquid separation. It contains a basket which is dynamically balanced, in which a filter bag is placed to retain the solid within the basket. This bag can be lifted using a chain pulley manually or in motorized mode. Thus, the discharge of solid cake is instant and fast, facilitating quicker operation with less labor involved.

The main parts of the centrifuge are Bearing and Shaft, Basket, Drive, and Brake.

Bearing and Shaft:

The heavy-duty bearing is chosen to withstand vibratory loads and centrifugal forces, duly fitted in a bearing housing. The bearing housing is designed and filled with grease to ensure long maintenance-free performance. The shaft is made of suitable material and is independently balanced without the basket for higher accuracy.

Basket:

The basket is made with adequate thickness to withstand loads caused by centrifugal forces developed by material in the basket. It is perforated and duly balanced. The basket bottom is made of mild steel and lined at the inner surface with rubber or stainless steel as required.

Drive:

The drive consists of a motor mounted at the basket casing and driven through a V-belt, with provision for belt tensioning. The centrifuges are fitted with a mechanical clutch pulley at the motor shaft.

Brake:

The centrifuges are fitted with external shoe brakes with brake liners. The brakes are heavy-duty type, designed to bring a loaded basket to a stop quickly.

Material of Construction:

The centrifuge material of construction can be carbon steel, stainless steel, or rubber-lined.
