Perfect for various industries, this modern industrial equipment utilizes the power of centrifugal force to quickly and precisely sort materials. With expert installation, operation, maintenance, and care, you can rely on our pusher centrifuge for all your separation needs.
Basic Overview
Definition: The pusher centrifuge pushes the material into the centrifuge, and separates and sorts the material under the action of centrifugal force. The pusher centrifuge utilizes centrifugal force to efficiently separate and sort material. Its powerful design makes it a reliable and low-maintenance solution for any industry.
Classification: Pusher centrifuges are mainly divided into two categories: fixed centrifuges and floating centrifuges. Fixed centrifuges fix the shaft on mechanical equipment to make the object move around the shaft, while floating centrifuges float the shaft on the object to make the object move around the shaft. An essential tool for separation and filtration purposes, pusher centrifuges offer two types of operation: fixed and floating. By securing the shaft in place or floating it on the object, materials can be easily and efficiently circulated for processing.\
Working principle
The working principle of the pusher centrifuge is mainly based on the action of centrifugal force. Taking the three-stage piston pusher centrifuge as an example, its working principle is: the drum and the spiral rotate at high speed in the same direction at a differential speed, and the material is continuously introduced into the inner cylinder of the feeding spiral from the feed pipe, and enters the drum after acceleration. Under the action of the centrifugal field, the heavier solid phase is deposited on the drum wall to form a sediment layer, and the feeding spiral continuously pushes the deposited solid phase to the cone end of the drum and discharges it out of the machine through the slag discharge port. The lighter liquid phase forms an inner layer of liquid ring, which continuously overflows the drum from the overflow port at the large end of the drum and is discharged out of the machine through the discharge port.
Installation preparation
1. Choose a suitable site: The pusher centrifuge should be installed in a spacious and well-ventilated site to ensure the convenience of operation and maintenance. At the same time, the site should be free of corrosive gases and flammable and explosive items to ensure the safe operation of the equipment.
2. Check the equipment: Before installation, the pusher centrifuge should be fully inspected, including whether the power cord, motor, rotor, fasteners and other components are intact to ensure that the equipment is in normal working condition.
3. Installation foundation: According to the equipment specifications and requirements, prepare a suitable foundation platform or stand to ensure that the platform is flat and stable to support the weight of the pusher centrifuge and the vibration during operation.
Installation steps
1. Place the main unit: Place the main unit of the push centrifuge in the reserved position and secure it firmly to the base platform with anchor bolts or other fixings. Designed for maximum stability and efficiency. Precise placement ensures accuracy and prevents accidents, so you can focus on your work with peace of mind.
2. Install the hopper and conveying pipeline: Fix the hopper to the main unit and connect the conveying pipeline to ensure that the material can enter the centrifuge smoothly. Our centrifuge ensures a smooth and continuous flow of materials by securely fixing the hopper to the main unit and connecting the conveying pipeline. With this easy installation process, you’ll have no interruptions in your material processing.
3. Connect the power supply: Connect the power cord to the main unit and plug it into the power socket. Before connecting the power supply, check whether the power supply voltage meets the equipment requirements.
Maintenance and care
Daily maintenance: Clean and lubricate the pusher centrifuge regularly to remove dirt and residues on the surface of the equipment. At the same time, check whether each component is tight, whether there is wear or damage, and if there is any abnormality, it should be handled in time Extend the longevity of your pusher centrifuge by regularly cleaning and lubricating it to remove dirt and residues that can accumulate on the equipment. While doing so, take a moment to check the tightness of each component, for any signs of wear or damage, and address any abnormalities immediately to ensure optimal performance.
Regular inspection: Regularly inspect and maintain the motor, rotor, bearings and other key components of the centrifuge. Check whether the motor is running normally, whether the rotor is balanced, whether the bearings are well lubricated, etc. Experience increased efficiency and extended lifespan for your centrifuge with regular maintenance and inspections. Ensure proper functioning and optimal conditions for the motor, rotor, bearings, and other essential components. Keep your equipment running smoothly with regular upkeep and check-ups.
Regular maintenance: According to the recommendations of the equipment manufacturer, formulate and implement a regular maintenance plan. Regular maintenance includes but is not limited to replacing wearing parts, cleaning internal parts, checking the electrical system, etc. Keep your equipment in top shape with our comprehensive regular maintenance plan. We follow the manufacturer’s recommendations to ensure optimal performance, including replacing wearing parts, cleaning internal components, and checking the electrical system.
Safety precautions
1. Pre-operation training: Operators must receive professional training before using the push centrifuge to understand the working principle, operating procedures and safety precautions of the equipment. As a product expert, you understand the importance of proper training. Before operating the push centrifuge, it’s essential that operators complete professional training to ensure safe and efficient use.
2. Wear protective equipment: During operation, operators should wear appropriate work clothes and protective gloves and other protective equipment to avoid accidental injuries. Wearing the proper protective equipment is important for ensuring your safety while using our product. Our reliable gear is designed to prevent any accidental injuries, allowing you to work comfortably and confidently.
3. Emergency stop: If an abnormal situation or emergency is found during the operation of the equipment, the emergency stop button should be pressed immediately and the power supply should be cut off to stop the machine for inspection or processing. It’s important to have a quick way to handle unexpected situations – that’s why we’ve built an emergency stop button that immediately cuts off power to the machine for inspection or processing.
Troubleshooting and Solutions
Excessive vibration: Check the balance condition, bearing wear, and adjust the drum balance.
Poor separation effect: Check the filter blockage, whether the speed setting is reasonable, and adjust the relevant parameters.
Abnormal noise: Check whether the fasteners are loose and the bearings are damaged, and repair or replace them in time.
Motor overheating: Check whether the cooling system is working properly, reduce the load or increase cooling measures.
Tips and optimization
Adjust the speed and feed rate of the centrifuge according to the material characteristics to achieve the best separation effect.
Arrange the production plan reasonably to avoid frequent start and stop to impact the equipment.
Try different combinations of filters or orifice plates to find the configuration that best suits the current material.
Use the automatic control system to optimize the operating parameters and improve the separation efficiency and stability.
