Boot Spinner Case Study




Detailed Application: Potato Waste

Potato WasteThe Decanter model CQ5 centrifuge is built for safe, quiet, reliable operation and require relatively no day-to-day maintenance. The units are designed for quick and easy disassembly when routine maintenance is necessary. The entire rotating assembly can be removed in 30-minutes and either rebuilt on site or shipped back to US Centrifuge for a factory rebuild.

The centrifuges are installed on the premises of chip producers, french-fry producers and potato packers. The applications fall into 4 groups:

  • Starch Dewatering
  • Effluent Treatment
  • Potato Meal
  • Wash Water Cleaning (Mud Dewatering)

Detailed Application: Waste Water Processing

Muncipal Wastewater Systems SludgeWastewater treatment plants for both municipal and industrial applications are designed to produce a clean, safe water discharge, usually to a river. The complexity of the plant will depend on the immediate environmental considerations and the consent limits negotiated with the authorities.

The CQ decanter centrifuge has been used extensively in sludge thickening and sludge dewatering duties.

To learn more about the waste water treatment industry, please read our case studies.




Detailed Application: Automatic Batch-Sequence Wastewater Processing Systems

A system can be configured, equipped, and constructed to suit each customer's individual process and chemical treatment requirements. These requirements could include:

  • Different Size Tank Volumes
  • Multiple Chemical Feed Pumps and/or Systems
  • Various Size and/or Multiple Centrifuges
  • Additional Discharge Water Filtering Devices
  • Discharge Water Monitoring and/or Recording Devices

Systems can be designed and constructed to treat wastewater volumes from 500 to 50,000 GPD depending on the chemical program and % solids. Systems range from $50,000 to $350,000 depending on the necessary components and materials of construction.




Detailed Application: Paint Sludge

Water Wash Paint Booth ApplicationMany manufacturers face a problem when production volumes increase. The equipment used to recover paint sludge from its paint booths no longer can keep up with the production volume. With a little help, US Centrifuge can set up a sludge-recovery system that can dramatically reduce costs in labor, water consumption and chemical use.

To learn more about the paint sludge industry, please read our article on the subject.

Detailed Application: Glass Grinding

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).

Detailed Application: Stone Fabrication

Many stone fabricators are still cleaning out their water / 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 water / coolant (slower operating speeds, decreased cutting / beveling / polishing quality, decreased life of diamond wheels, conveyor bearings and other components, and increased maintenance costs).

Vibration / Mass Finishing Liquid Recycling Systems

US Centrifuge has applied centrifuges and designed centrifuge systems for a variety of vibratory / mass finishing applications for the purpose of clarifying suspended solids from the liquid process solution. Centrifugally clarified liquid that was previously sent to drain is now often re-circulated many times extending the liquid's working like, which reduces operating costs and minimizes disposal volumes.




Other Industries

US Centrifuge works with many industries to reduce sludge and waste, decrease water consumption, decrease downtime, and increase productivity. These include, but are not limited to:

  • Sludge Dewatering
  • Recycling and Recovery
  • Environmental Process Systems
