Decanter Centrifuge is a common centrifugal separation equipment, widely used in medicine, chemical industry, food and other industries. In order to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and the personal safety of the user, it must be operated and maintained in strict accordance with the operation and maintenance procedures. This article will introduce the operation and maintenance procedures of the horizontal spiral centrifuge.
Operating procedures
1. Environmental inspection
Before using the horizontal spiral centrifuge, an environmental inspection must be carried out to ensure that the operating environment meets safety requirements. Ensure safety and efficiency with an environmental inspection before using our horizontal spiral centrifuge.
- The operating area must be dry, ventilated, and of suitable temperature;
- Operations are prohibited around flammable, explosive, or corrosive media;
- There must be fire-fighting facilities around and they must be kept unobstructed;
- Operations with a large number of people are prohibited.
2. Equipment inspection
The horizontal spiral centrifuge must be inspected before each operation to ensure the integrity and safety of the equipment. Optimize efficiency and minimize risks with a thorough inspection before use. The integrity and safety of your equipment is our top priority.
- Check that the centrifuge’s power supply, wires, plugs and other electrical equipment are not damaged;
- Check whether there are any foreign objects inside the centrifuge;
- Check whether the centrifuge accessories, centrifuge tubes and rotors match;
- Check the lubrication of the centrifuge’s running parts.
3. Operation steps
- Step 1: Load the centrifuge tube into the rotor.
- Step 2: Install the rotor into the horizontal centrifuge body.
- Step 3: Cover and lock the centrifuge cover, and make sure the centrifuge is locked.
- Step 4: Turn on the power, start the centrifuge, and gradually increase the centrifuge speed to avoid damage to the centrifuge and samples due to excessive speed.
- Step 5: After centrifugation is completed, turn off the centrifuge and make sure that the centrifuge has stopped rotating. Then take out the required samples according to the position, label and other information of the centrifuge tube.
Maintenance procedures
In addition to operating procedures, the maintenance of the horizontal centrifuge is also crucial. Proper maintenance can increase the service life of the equipment and ensure the safe operation of the centrifuge. Proper maintenance is essential for extending your equipment’s life span and ensuring its safe operation. With regular maintenance, you can increase the efficiency and reliability of the horizontal centrifuge, providing you with optimal results every time.
1. Clean the centrifuge regularly
During use, the centrifuge will accumulate dust, dirt and other impurities, which will affect the operating efficiency of the equipment and may cause centrifuge failure. Therefore, we should clean the centrifuge regularly.
The specific steps are as follows:
- Turn off the power of the equipment, disconnect the power plug, and wait for the centrifuge to stop rotating naturally;
- Wipe the outer surface of the centrifuge with a clean cloth to remove the dust accumulated on the centrifuge;
- Use a soft brush to clean the gap of the centrifuge and the surface and dust of the rotor;
- If the surface of the centrifuge is difficult to wipe, the surface of the centrifuge can be cleaned with detergent. Do not use too much water to prevent moisture from getting inside the equipment.
2. Check the lubrication of the centrifuge regularly
The lubrication of the centrifuge directly affects the service life and performance of the equipment. Therefore, we should check the lubrication of the centrifuge regularly and add lubricating oil in time.
The specific steps are as follows:
- Disconnect the power supply of the equipment and wait for the centrifuge to stop rotating naturally.
- Check the lubrication of the centrifuge. Check whether the rotor bearing is lubricated and whether there is any noise.
- If necessary, pour the lubricating oil into the lubricating oil tank and adjust the oil amount according to demand.
3. Regularly replace centrifuge accessories
Centrifuge tubes and rotors are the main accessories of the centrifuge. These accessories need to be replaced regularly to ensure the normal operation of the centrifuge while ensuring separation quality and high efficiency. Maximize the performance of your centrifuge with regular replacement of its essential accessories: centrifuge tubes and rotors. This crucial maintenance will guarantee optimal separation quality and efficiency, keeping your operations running smoothly.
The specific steps are as follows:
- It is recommended to replace accessories such as centrifuge tubes and rotors every 90 times;
- Before replacement, the used rotors and centrifuge tubes should be cleaned and the accessories should be checked for problems.
