wvo centrifuge

[emboy25]

is this the one they sell at fryer to fuel?

[anii23]

It filters what is in the barrel. It keeps recurculating until it is turned off.

[blakenissan07]

is there another barrel of oil feeding the centrifuge or are you just centrfuging what ever is in the barrel?

[julescicle]

does this clean out heavy saturated fats from the restaurants?

[anii23]

@julescicle The oil has to be heated, so the fats are usually melted. When unheated, the heavy fats will not pass through the centrifuge jets.

[dadoVRC]

@julescicle I build a high speed centrifuge and it separates heavy fats from oil.

I clean a mix of palm, sunflower and canola oil, the palm oil was solid (I work during past winter, at about 12-15°C), and I can separe the heavy and soid oil from the clean oil.

The color doesn't change. The transparency of the oil changes.

[followyourdreams33]

does your oil eventually get clear and clean, or does it stay that dark color?

[anii23]

@followyourdreams33  the color doesent change, but the transparency does.

What kind of device are you using to heat your "dirty" veggie oil prior to cleaning? Very nice setup you have there btw. Power to the peoples! ;)

[anii23]

I currently use a band heater. I am building a new setup in which I will be using water heating elements. Ill post the video when Im finished.

[derkenblosh]

does the filter separate the water ? pulling from the bottom of the barrel is where all the water will settle when heated

[anii23]

The centrifuge separates the water. Water disapates as steam, and the bowl in the centrifuge catches it. My oil is pretty dry, so I really dont worry about it. I always pan test my oii though. So far so good.

[mannasteve]

What kind of pump are you using. i thought you had to use both a electric motor and a gear pump.

[anii23]

It is a baldor 1/2 hp motor with a gear pump attached.

type in spinner 11 in google

[doramaso]

Do you put the unclean oil in the drum and cycle it around until it is clean?.Also do you heat the oil up while it is being filtered,and how long does it take to do a drum?.Thanks.

[anii23]

Yes the oil goes in dirty. I filter the oil for 4 hours. The centrifuge processes 1.8 gallons a minute, so I get 8 passes in 4 hours for 50 gallons. I heat the oil to 160 degrees.

[smkirkland]

did you build this system or buy it already assembled? where should I look if I want to purchase or build a system like this? thanks, sk

[slulitabert]

do you use this to clean wvo to run straight in to a fuel tank? how well does it work? the oil coming gout of the centrifuge is ready to go in a tank for fuel?

[anii23]

Yes, the oil is ready to go after a few passes in the centrifuge. I have since modified the system to pull from the bottom of the drum.
