518 CENTRIFUGE
The M-I SWACO 518 CENTRIFUGE is a high-speed, high-volume decanting centrifuge with a 14.0"-diameter x 57.5"-long (353-mm x 1,460-mm) stainless steel bowl and conveyor assembly. The variable speed main drive is v-belt driven through a torque converter by a 25-horsepower, explosion-proof, electric motor. The main drive (1,600 - 4,000 rpm) bowl speeds are easily changed with the variable-step sheave arrangement. The differential speed or back drive is v-belt driven by a 7.5-horsepower, explosion-proof, electric motor. The differential speed can be adjusted from -18 to +85 rpm.
The 518 CENTRIFUGE consists of a contour bowl assembly with hardfacing protection in the feed zone, tungsten carbide discharge ports and hardfaced conveyor flights. A two-step planetary 3.5-knm gearbox with a 57.1:1 ratio drives the centrifuge. Additional overload protection is provided with a resettable mechanical clutch and safety shutdown device.
