US Filtermaxx, 10,000G Spinning Bowl Centrifuge
TO ORDER: Select the appropriate Centrifuge, AND a Programmable Controller. The Centrifuge will not work without one of the Programmable Controllers.
The US Filtermaxx 10,000G Centrifuge is an american designed & manufactured, high quaity, high precision, high speed spinning-bowl centrifuge, for general centrifugal separation of liquids which are not agressive to the macines component materials.
The US Filtermaxx 10,000G Centrifuge has been independently assessed and has been found to remove over 99% of particles from 4-21 Microns, and 100% of particles over 38 Microns (At full speed, 10,000G, with the oil at 71°c). The laboratory report can be found in the PDF downloads below.
Unlike the Oilybits OB Series Centrifuge, the US Filtermaxx 10,000G Centrifuge does not use any of the incoming oil for essential lubrication, and therefore everything that passes through the centrifuge had been 'cleaned' to some extent, the slower the centrifuge is fed, or the higher the RPM/G-Force, the greater the extent of cleaning.
The US Filtermaxx 10,000G Centrifuge does not use filters, no waste media is created in using the machine, it also does not utilize a pump, and therefore the oil that goes in can be contaminated to a greater extent than oil which needs to pass through a pump into a filtering device.
These centrifuges are also popular for recovering precious metals in jewellery manufacture, offcuts, swarf, chips, and pastes from polishing can all be recovered or seprated from oils and coolants in a centrifuge, without any valuable metal / material being trapped in a filter element and lost.
US Filtermaxx Centrifuge Standard Features:
- High efficiency; 100% reduction of particles >38 Microns, 99%+ reduction of particles >4-21 Microns.
- Variable Speed Control, up to 10,000G
- USFiltermaxx, Made in U.S.A. Variable Speed Motor, CE Apoproved.
- Belt overdrive system drives the high-speed rotor while the motor runs at 1800 rpm for a quieter, cooler running, longer lasting centrifuge.
- Large 3.785 Litre displacement bowl that filters 1260 to 3785 Litres of oil per day (Max. rate example; Diesel Polishing @ 20c)
- Clean oil and dirty oil are separated by an internal dam.
- Feed plate distributes oil evenly around circumference.
- Forced Ventilation exhausts vapors released during processing waste oils or biodiesel. Prevents contamination of clean oil by water vapor droplets and ventilates methanol vapors.
- Operating load is taken by 1-inch diameter spindle with replaceable bearings, not the motor bearings as with some other centrifuges.
- Bowl is removed by the quick release spindle in less than a minute.
- Heavy duty 1 inch thick aluminum centrifuge body for rigidity and minimal vibration.
- Rotor is a machined aircraft-grade aluminum casting.
- 15 minutes from box to operation.
- Enclosed Base for Stability.
- Complete with 2x 1.5kw Bolt-On Heater Tube/s, total 3kW, (rated at 120v each, one can be run on 120V, 2 can be run on 120V in parallel, or 240v in series).
- Must never be switched off at the power source, only through its controller, switching off at the power source will damage the VFD (speed controller).
Optional Accessories:
- Automatic Centrifuge Controller > allows unit to cycle and drain sludge for unattended cleaning of up to 3785 Litres of oil per day (Example; Diesel Polishing @ 20c)
US Filtermaxx 1.5kW Heater Specification:
- Long folded element delivers gentle heat so that it does not burn your oil, yet gets hot enough to remove dissolved water and split emulsions.
- Use as standalone, or combine with a US Filtermaxx digital process heater or automatic centrifuge controller.
- Readily mounts to the leg of a US Filtermaxx centrifuge, multiple heaters can be used for high speed heating.
- The slower the flow rate, the hotter the element will heat the oil.
- Adjustable output when combined with Variable Heat Controller.
- Lifetime warranty element - rated to withstand dry firing.

Shown Below:1.5kW Heating Element, 2x elements (total 3kW) are fitted to centrifuge - aids separation by making oil less viscous:
Shown below, Optional P-Trap assembly, to prevent vapour condensate from exiting clean oil line (must never be fitted to sludge line):
Shown Below; Optional G-maxx Variable Speed Programmable Controller:
- Controlls motor speed, oil temperature, cycle time, and total run time of your centrifuge system. Along with a seperate VFD drive to control the speed of the motor.
Shown Below; Optional Deluxe Programmable Controller:
- The Deluxe Programmable Controller allows the centrifuge to clean oil, dump water and sludge and shut down at a preset time for hands-off cleaning with large amounts of oil. Great for WVO, lube oil, used oil, motor oil, hydraulic fluid and diesel fuel polishing.
Shown Below; Optional Deluxe Variable Heater Wattage Programmable Controller:
- With all the features of the Deluxe Programmable Controller, plus with variable wattage heater control, and flow control valve so you can change the heater from 1250 watts to 2400 watts by turning the knob.
