Robinson 800 Series Heated Centrifuge, 12vDC

Robinson Manufacturing Co. Inc.’s Field Centrifuges are designed for determining sediment and water (S&W) content of crude oil according to API 10.4 testing standards. Intended to operate from a vehicle’s 12-volt system, the centrifuges are ideal for field use. The compact housings are made from solid-cast aluminum, making them corrosion-resistant and durable enough to hold up against tough use and job site conditions.

A smooth-start variable speed rheostat controller reduces jerking and tube breakage on every startup while giving the operator precise motor control. The lids are equipped with a spring-loaded closure latch to remain secure during operation and feature a center hole that allows the operator to check centrifuge RPMs with a handheld tachometer. 

The Robinson 800 Series Centrifuge with built-in sample heater provides maximum accuracy, efficiency, and dependability for Crude Oil Haulers. Each model is electrically heated and thermostatically controlled to hold samples at the required testing temperature. Machines come equipped with either a 2-Place or 4-Place revolving head for the 100mL 6-inch short cone sample tubes. The 800 Series is available in both A-Style flip lid and B-Style split lid models.

Centrifuge Features:

• Meets API 10.4 testing standards
• Solid-cast aluminum housing provides strength and durability
• Variable speed, smooth-start rheostat controller reduces tube breakage
• Built-in sample heater adds convenience and saves space
• Thermostatically controlled bowl heaters maintain sample temperatures during testing
• Modular design allows motor, sample heater pockets, and front panel controls to be easily removed and replaced without removing the centrifuge from its mountings
• Lid access hole allows the operator to check centrifuge RPMs with a handheld tachometer
• Circular bowl design and ball bearing motor shaft support improve efficiency and extend motor life
• IP 68 rated heater switches protect against dust and moisture to extend switch life

A-Style Flip Lid

The A-Style Flip Lid is made of solid-cast aluminum and features a spring-loaded latch to keep the lid firmly closed while operating. A pivot hinge allows the lid to swing up and open towards the rear of the centrifuge. Lid support springs hold the lid open while the operator exchanges samples.

B-Style Split Lid

Designed for applications where overhead space is limited, the B-Style Split Lid consists of two solid-cast aluminium sections that open to either side of the centrifuge. The left and right sections
of the lid move independently from one another on single pivot points at the back of the centrifuge. The lid uses friction tension to remain securely closed during operation.
