Daily Maintenance of a Drilling Fluid Centrifuge
Before operating a centrifug för borrvätska, turn off the power and release the centrifuge brake. Manually rotate the drum to check for any signs of seizure.
Check for any loose or abnormal parts.
Connect the power and start the centrifuge in a clockwise direction (it typically takes about 40-60 seconds from standstill to normal operation).
Upon arrival, you must run each unit empty for approximately three hours. If no abnormalities appear, you can then put it into operation.
The machine should place the material as evenly as possible.
A dedicated operator must perform the operation, and they must not exceed the rated capacity.
To avoid shortening the machine’s service life, you must not operate it during this time.
After operation, if you detect any abnormalities, you must stop the unit for inspection and, if necessary, repair it.
Drilling fluid centrifuges operate at high speeds, so avoid touching the drum with your body to prevent accidents.
You should determine the filter cloth’s mesh size based on the size of the solid particles in the material being separated; otherwise, you will affect the separation efficiency. When installing the filter cloth, ensure the seal sits firmly in the drum seal groove to prevent material from leaking.
To ensure proper operation of the centrifuge, lubricate and maintain rotating parts every six months. Also, check the bearings for lubrication and wear, check for wear on the brake components, and replace any worn parts if necessary. Check the bearing caps for oil leaks. After use, clean and maintain the machine.
Avoid using non-corrosion-resistant centrifuges to separate highly corrosive materials. Furthermore, strictly follow equipment requirements and operating procedures. Never use non-explosion-proof centrifuges in flammable or explosive environments.
After reading the above information, are you ready to perform maintenance on your daily companion (the centrifug för borrvätska)?
