Industrial Centrifuge FAQ --- Troubleshooting Common Faults 2026-09-29
Q1: What causes poor separation performance (e.g., cloudy supernatant, high moisture content in the solid phase), and how can this be resolved ? Key causes and solutions: 1. Rotational speed below setpoint (VFD fault or speed sensor failure): Inspect the electrical control system and calibrate speed parameters; 2. Filter screen/cloth clogged, damaged, or incorrectly selected: Clean or replace the filter medium and re-select based on material particle size; 3. Excessive or uneven feed rate: Reduce feed speed and maintain a steady flow; 4. Fluctuations in material properties (e.g., increased viscosity, finer particles): Increase rotational speed and/or extend separation time; 5. Imbalance due to material buildup on the inner drum wall: Shut down the machine and clear out residual material.
