    - Push Button Automatic operation
    Price: $3,500 USD without feed pump, $4,500 included
    Allows for complete operation, startup and shutdown by
    one button push.  Very useful in a PLC controlled plant.
  • Flow rates up to 5 gallons per minute (18.9 liters per minute) of incoming product for separation, fully variable down to 2 gpm. 
    - This will satisfy the needs of a 416,000 gpy (1.57 million lpy) biodiesel production plant based on 8 hours per day for 5 business day weeks. 
    - If run continuously for 24 hours / 7 days a week, it will process over 2.18 million gallons per year (8.2 million liters per year)
  • Power requirements: 2 Hp motor needs 208-240VAC Single Phase (50/60 Hertz) 20 Amp circuit, 7.5 Amps continuous
  • 2 or more PC-5's can be operated in parallel to increase separation throughput capability

Operational within 60 seconds of startup; shuts down in 30 sec.

We chose heavy duty, long lasting parts to keep the centrifuge low maintenance and durable and carefully chose design aspects to keep the cost down:

  • Explosion Proof Class 1 Division 2 electric motor at 3450 RPM
  • Lower comparable speeds of rotation for the centrifuge, yet achieving over 1000 times gravity of separation force with an incredible 30 seconds of fluid residence time. That is comparable to centrifuges that may spin faster with higher wear, but their residence time is much lower.
  • Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) motor speed controller
  • Belt drive for quietness, longevity and simplicity
  • High speed, heavy duty bearings
  • Mechanical Ceramic seals for long life and durability
  • Incoming pressure and temperature readouts on front panel
  • Flow meter specifically made and calibrated for biodiesel flow
  • Manual override capability for valve control
  • High pressure pneumatic valve system for high flow rates, reliability and longevity
  • Steel strongback and case structure for an extremely durable unit.
  • All tubing high pressure braided and biodiesel compatible
  • All electronics built to last and sealed to withstand normal use
  • Centrifuge precision balanced within .5 grams each end for smooth operation
  • Unit entirely encased in 14 gauge steel to reduce noise, vibration, and to increase safety
  • Exterior and interior Powder Coated for durability with the use of biofuels
