AC-powered centrifuge design

Indianapolis, IN-- Midwest Engineered Products Corp. (http://www.separator.com) has released an all-new centrifuge design called CentraSep™. The design combines a revolutionary bowl/blade clutch with a single ac motor and ac motor drive. The system automatically removes sub-micron-to-one-half-inch particles and fines from virtually any coolant or lubricant at a processing rate ranging from 25 to 135 gpm (gallons per minute).

With patents pending on the unique clutch and scraper design, Midwest credits new electrical control for making the CentraSep a reality. "Accelerating the bowl and blade very rapidly for the processing cycle, bringing the loaded bowl to a controlled stop, and turning the bowl against the scraper blades require high breakaway torque and extremely precise motor control", says Jeff Beattey. "In this design, the electrical and mechanical components are fused and inseparable."
