Oilybits Centrifugal Oil Cleaning System (Centrifuge on Trolly), 540 to 9000 Litres Per Hour

A fully automatic oil cleaning system, with 500 to 4000 litre hourly fluid capacity. The system is designed to be wheeled to the holding tank of the machine in question, the suction & delivery hoses placed into the tank, and the machine left to run for the desired time. The efficiency of the machine varies dependent on oil viscosity (reduced by temperature), and the type and level of contamination. If the oil temperature is 40c and the type of contamination very heavy in S.G., this will seperate faster than with the opposite characteristics, for example.

The centrifugal filter uses pressurised oil as a wet seal to prevent wear, and turns the incoming liquid flow into a fine jet which propels the rotor at speeds of up to 9100 RPM, creating centrifugal forces of 4166 times gravity. At this point all heavier-than-oil particles such as soot, dirt, swarf and water, are forced to the outside wall of the rotor, where they mass into a solid, or near solid layer, cleaner oil then flows outward. Multiple passes (up to 3) may be required to gain the highest purity, as the centrifuge uses the incoming oil as a wet seal, and therefore passes some dirty oil throughout its operation

By increasing G-Force, you are doubling the relative weight of an object by 100% per 1G, at 0G an object weighs true upon the surface of the earth, at 1 G an object weighs twice its true weight, so, for example at 4000 G, a particle of dirt which might weight 0.1 gram will weigh 400 grams, and because of this, it will settle through a body of liquid much faster than it would if it were its original weight

The centrifuge will require emptying of contaminants periodically, although regularity will depend upon how contaminated your oil is, the cleaner your oil is beforehand, the longer the centrifuge will operate before cleaning is required. The centrifuge is fully user-serviceable

For cleaning of lubrication oil that has been used in a combustion engine, please note that whilst the centrifuge will remove all heavier-than-oil particles, it will not reverse changes that have occurred to the oil at a molecular level - for example the black colour of used engine oil is not only caused by carbon deposits such as soot (which will be removed) but by a change in the molecular structure of the oil caused by the combustion of hydrocarbons within it, this produces black liquids such as asphaltine, and this colouring cannot be removed by using a centrifuge or any other means of fitration.
