where do you get the bowl???

[Axbent]

@glemra old washer will prolly do.

[tuguybear]

I like people like you.The difference between an engineer and other people is,an engineer can do for 50 bucks what anyone else has to spend 500 on.

[Axbent]

@tuguybear But the mechanic does it for five... ;)

[JIMMYS883HD]

we have economical crysis and there is not enaf money man..give some more details about the parts you have use! where from did you got them,how much did they cost etc.  thanks alot for the idea!!!

[ironlionkalo]

@JIMMYS883HD figure it out, do u think he had a set of plans when he built his?

[didgeplayer]

@ironlionkalo Nope I did not have any plans. Made it up on the fly. I looked at the simple centrifuge and made a similar design. All of the parts were just laying around. I dont think I really bought anything other then the wood. And that was about 50 bucks. The lathe bowl was turned using lathe tools on the shaft that it is mounted on. I then turned the shaft vertical mounted it with a frame and housing. My next aluminum one is much better. Just need to make my oil shed out back first.

Excellent- made me a subscriber

you're the boss!!!

[porsche1977924s]

you should consider adding a belt tensioner to take that vibration out. the benefit being it will quite up your rig

to fix the leak get some cheap rubber door seal from the hardware store, the kind that cover corners

looks good

[lindleyvinz]

how much?

[Athrun825]

Isnt it difficult to clean the centrifuge? What abt. affection with bacteria and molds after not using the machinery für a vew days? I think the wooden body and rotor are soaked with the veg. oil. Is the wood coated? Thx for the vid. very much.

[Estabanwatersaz]

Great concept there Mr Handy. Can you give us less gifted souls some more info on how to do as you do? PLEASEEEEEEEE. Drawings etc.

Thanks again for sharing a excellent idea. Be blessed always.

Cool bowl. I'd love to see it out of the box.

What is your flow rate? I have a simple centrifuge and I heat my oil to at least 150 ... usually about 180 and I only do 50 gallons per day... that is a little under two cups (1.8) per minute. I only run my oil thru the centrifuge once and I have had great success.

The simple CF spins at 3600 rpm and is an 8" bowl. That equates to about 1200 Gs.

If you are filtering more than that per day... try slowing it down and see what you get.

Yea, cowboy. Can we have some more details? Looks like a whiz bang idea. Good work. Happy holidays
