Hey folks,
I've been designing a wmo centrifuge setup with the cheapest available materials I can find, luckily I manage a fabrication shop
The first item I dug up in my junk parts pile, a Johnson treadmill motor, 90V DC, 2.25 hp, 3150 rpm. I needed a controller for it which I found on AliExpress for 130$ cad.
It has a 1/2"-13 reverse thread with a 5/8 shaft so I dropped off the PoBoy bowl I bought from WVO Designs at a machine shop. The bowl comes with a 1" center hole, I'm having a custom adapter made which I'll press in.
I welded up the housing & oil heater today, the housing is 12" in diameter & 6" tall, based on the PoBoy drawings they have on their website.
Top & bottom are 10ga 304 stainless, the rib is 14ga & bumped on the press brake. 2x 1/2" npt outlets & a hydraulic seal housing. The inner seperator is 16ga, 1.5" high.
I forgot to cut the opening on the top plate before leaving work on Friday so I have to wait to put on the top ring .
The oil heater I made out of a 2" sanitary pipe, about 14" long. 3/4 npt on the bottom for a 1250W 120V cartridge heater that's still in the mail, 1/2 npt for the inlet by the heating element. On top there's a 1/4 npt outlet & a 1/2 npt for the temp sensor.
