Waste Vegetable Oil Processing Systems

For proper centrifuge operation the oil must be heated to 140-180 F. Multiple passes will be needed depending on the degree of contamination. 

In most cases "rough" filtering with a 100 mesh (140 micron) strainer is required initially. Then 3-4 turns of the volume through the centrifuge in most cases will give optimum results and a better finished product,

Centrifuges are not a methanol recovery device. Centrifuges can not be used to remove lye from Biodiesel production. Water wash is required when making Biodiesel.

In all cases the centrifuge will de-water BUT on shut down you MUST divert or catch the contents of the rotor before it stops to prevent the water it will hold from draining back into the now clean oil.

The use of extra rotors will speed up the process time. Dirty rotors can be switched out in two minutes and then cleaned after they cool. The cleaning of a rotor at 180F is difficult and will take 15-30 minutes to cool. 

Measures 12” wide by 42” tall and 16” deep to stand next to a 55 gallon drum
