Available in both single and double bowl configuration, the Freddy Centrifuge is suited for a wide range of applications, large and small. Unlike floor pit and settling tank systems Freddy Centrifuges are designed to provide a continuous and consistently low minimum level of suspended solids and extend the life of the working liquid / fluid while providing a low maintenance and environmentally effective method of separating and handling the separated solids / sludge. If the coolant is clean, tool life is extended too, and the quality of the product machined is greater.
The Clarification principal
An open topped rotor is driven at high speed. Into this is fitted a long-life removable flexible rotor liner, shaped to the inner contour of the rotor. The rotor liner is secured to the rotor by a removable vane assembly, consisting of a ring and four vertical vanes. Dirty coolant enters at the top of the rotor assembly and is deflected to the centre cone towards the base of the bowl. Centrifugal force acts upon the dirty coolant, packing the foreign matter into a cake against the wall of the rotor liner. The clarified coolant overflows through the hole in the top of the vane assembly and is returned to the machine.
The Freddy Twin Bowl Centrifuge is identical in principal to our Single Centrifuge, but just has double the throughput. The Twin bowl Centrifuge is particularly well suited to machining operations where a cutting oil is used as a coolant and where a fine finish to close tolerances is required.
