Regular Maintenance of Centrifugal Concentrator

Regular cleaning of water-jacketed centrifugal concentrator is a crucial aspect of maintenance. After each use, any residual samples, liquids, or impurities inside the centrifugal concentrator should be promptly removed. The interior chamber and rotor can be wiped with a clean damp cloth, but care must be taken to prevent moisture from entering electrical components. For stubborn stains, a mild detergent may be used, ensuring it does not corrode any parts of the centrifuge. After cleaning, dry the equipment thoroughly with a clean cloth to maintain its dryness.

The water jacket system also requires regular maintenance. The coolant inside the water jacket should be replaced periodically, generally recommended at regular intervals (e.g., monthly or based on frequency of use), to ensure optimal cooling efficiency. Additionally, the water jacket pipelines should be flushed regularly to prevent blockages caused by scale or impurities, which could hinder coolant circulation. Specialized pipeline cleaning agents can be used for flushing, following the instructions provided in the manual.

The centrifugal concentrator rotor, as a key component, demands special attention. Regularly inspect the rotor for signs of wear, such as scratches or cracks on its surface. If any damage is detected, the rotor should be replaced immediately to prevent safety incidents during operation. Furthermore, regular calibration and balance testing of the rotor should be conducted in accordance with guidelines to ensure stability during high-speed rotation.

Lubrication of the centrifugal concentrator’s moving parts should be performed periodically. Components such as motor bearings generally require regular lubrication to reduce wear, minimize friction, and ensure smooth operation. When adding lubricant, it is important to select the appropriate type as specified in the equipment manual and adhere to the recommended quantity and frequency of application.
