Every Part is Key to a Productive and<br />
Safe Operation<br />
Gaskets: square rings,<br />
gasket combinations<br />
Special seals are designed specifically<br />
for the respective bowl geometry,<br />
the separated product and<br />
the prevailing conditions. These<br />
requirements can only be determined<br />
after many years of experience and<br />
extensive tests done in conjunction<br />
with strict quality standards.<br />
Special materials combine with the<br />
specific geometry and corresponding<br />
tolerances to ensure long-term,<br />
smooth operation of the centrifuge.<br />
Clutch shoes<br />
Starting time, power transmission,<br />
temperature, ejection intervals and<br />
motor speed are all factors that must<br />
be taken into account for the selection<br />
of material. Each factor has an effect<br />
on the service life of the clutch shoes,<br />
which are most heavily loaded during<br />
start-up and bowl discharges, when<br />
temperatures of up to several hundred<br />
degrees prevail in the clutch.<br />
