NEW WVO Centrifuge 210oz

Posted by: leongriffin in WVO, WMO, Oil Cleaning, Designs, Centrifuge on Feb 25, 2010

I shut myself in my design cave for the past few weeks and now am ready to leak you what I have been working on: The RPC 210 - Thats 210oz collection capacity in the bowl. By spec its about 10x the size and performance of the standard RPC 22 (22oz) so you can expect un-heated WVO flowrates at 50-100gph.

But wait there is more: also in the design is a self purge option that will evacuate the bowl of the collected materials. Obviously, this is machine is not for everyone, but if you are looking for automated 24/7 operation or need to clean serious amounts of oil; this is the answer.

Finally, the best part: I am looking at a base price of $5000 for a machine that will compete with centrifuges costing 4 times as much.
If you are interested in getting one of these brutes, I will be taking orders for pre-production during the month of March. I will do a batch of up to 10 units at $4000 each. Reserve your machine with a $2000 deposit and I will guarantee delivery of a working machine meeting your satisfaction.

I will have more information on the store page HERE

Raw Power WVO Centrifuge Prototype

Posted by: leongriffin in WVO, WMO, Oil Dewater, Oil Cleaning, Designs, Centrifuge on Nov 6, 2008

The prototype Raw Power WVO Centrifuge is all set up and I have to say it is SWEEEET!. And I normally don’t condone use of capitals!

To properly integrate the new unit, I build a very sturdy table and improved the wiring with a weather proof junction box with weather proof switches. I also added my prototype inline heater that I will be offering as a bolt on option. Everything worked like a dream, the fabricated enclosure was impossible to seal properly and I ended up blowing out the upper motor bearing due to contamination. The O-ring seals work the way they are supposed to and I have not seen a drop get past them. I installed a vent on the lid to let the enclosure breath and have seen vapors escaping when the unit is at operating temperature, this was installed at a whim but was exactly the reason that I put the three ports into the lid: future expansion and creativity.

So, anyway, this entry was more of a general update for all those that are interested and watching the progress. (competitors and customers alike) .

Things on the go: tooling for the bolt on heater and testing the “More Power” 5000rpm version. Finally, the countdown for the pre-production orders in ON!
