A computerized control system ensures uniform output while allowing for variations in feed and filter cloth characteristics. The automatic sequencing system includes all cycle time and auxiliary relays, signal alarms and switches for manual or automatic operation.
Automatic sequence cycle may be pre-programmed and selected from system memory or adjusted from the panel face.
Automatic Cloth Washing System
To improve filtration and significantly reduce the time required for cake heel removal and cloth washing, an optional automatic cloth washing system is available. PLC- controlled, the wash system incorporates jet sprays mounted close to the filter cloth to remove starch heel cake without operator intervention. The cleaning cycle may be completed in as little as 15 minutes, making more frequent basket washing practical and resulting in a lower average product discharge moisture.
Hydraulic Control Package
Advanced circuit design ensures smooth machine performance during the operating cycle. The hydraulic controls are centrally located on the side of the centrifuge with the valves mounted on a manifold to allow easy maintenance. The hydraulic piping is made of stainless steel.
Main Drive
The centrifuge drive uses a constant-filling type hydraulic coupling or another similar system to eliminate excessive start-up current and allows for the use of conventional-style drive motors and starters.
