US Centrifuge Solutions for Glass Fabrication

Glass Cutting Equipment, Water Recycling Systems, Glass Grinding Equipment for the Glass Fabrication Industry

Many glass fabricators are still cleaning out their coolant tanks by hand, or they are using inferior, ineffective separation equipment. These traditional methods simply don't solve the problems, and continue to result in lost machine time (and profits) during clean-outs, increased labor, disposal and coolant costs, and the typical problems caused by dirty coolant (slower operating speeds, decreased cutting/beveling quality, decreased life of diamond wheels, conveyor bearings and other components, and increased maintenance costs).

Read Glass Grinding Case Study

US Centrifuge has developed an innovative and affordable system that can truly solve these problems. For more than 10 years, we have been focused on improving the processing of coolant in glass manufacturing operations. The result is our unique "Centri-Flow" filtration system. Our patent-pending features have actually revolutionized the entire centrifugal filtration industry, and have made the "Centri-Flow" system the most effective and cost-efficient separation system available.

These modular systems can be modified to allow both large and small glass operations to realize the benefits of centrifugal separation. In addition to a rapid payback on your investment, these benefits include:

Decreased Production Costs

  • Greater Life for Diamond Wheels, Conveyor Bearings, and Other Components
  • Extended Coolant Life
  • Reduced Settling Tank Clean-Outs
  • Reduced Maintenance Costs
  • Reduced Disposal Costs
  • Reduced Labor Costs

Increased Productivity & Quality

  • Less Machine / Line Downtime
  • Cleaner Coolant Increases Running Speeds (more "inches per minute")
  • Less Scratches Caused by Dirty Coolant, so Less Scrap and Reworking

“We used to clean out 18″ of slurry from our tanks every 4 to 5 weeks...now we clean out about 2″ every 6 months...With the US Centrifuge system we could probably run for years without cleaning the tanks if we wanted to.” - Jan Wyatt, Karas & Karas


“We ran our US Centrifuge system 24 hours per day, 7 days per week for a year and a half and the unit still didn't need overhauled and the bearings were still in good shape.” - Mike Braun, Temp-Glass


“I would tell anybody in the glass business to buy a US Centrifuge system...it is a FANTASTIC machine.” - Ben Seltzer, Benjamin Martin


“The US Centrifuge machine has increased the life of our diamond wheels by 25% !!!” - Chris Silvey, Glasswerks


“The sales rep, the technicians, the owner of the business...Everyone at US Centrifuge has been extremely supportive and responsive.” - Tom Forsythe, LMI Glass



Our Centri-Flow system is an extremely cost-effective "single component" solution for glass operations like yours. Installations are made quickly and easily and these systems are very user-friendly to operate, allowing you to realize its benefits within hours after taking delivery.

In addition to the many benefits that we have already mentioned, the Centri-Flow system will also put you a step ahead in dealing with your waste-handling issues, which are certain to be an environmental concern at some point in the future.

Our Centri-Flow system is creating quite a buzz in the glass industry. The testimonials on this page are from various glass fabricators across the country. Once they see the system in action in their plant, their only regret is that they didn't buy it sooner. Let us show you why they are so excited about this technology.
