Centrifuge Squeezing Machines
In the textile, chemical, and industrial washing sectors, the first and most critical step in quickly drying a material after washing or dyeing is to use a Centrifuge. These machines use the principle of centrifugal force to separate water from the material with maximum efficiency.
An incorrectly selected spin dryer both prolongs your drying time and leads to unnecessary energy consumption. At ÖNSA Makine, we explain how the right centrifugal spin dryer contributes to your process efficiency, drawing on our experience in the industry.
What is a Centrifugal Squeezing Machines?
A centrifugal extractor is a machine that rapidly and mechanically separates water or excess liquid from materials after washing or dyeing in textile, chemical, and industrial processes using the principle of centrifugal force. This process significantly reduces the energy and time costs in the subsequent drying oven stage, thereby increasing process efficiency. Manufactured entirely from stainless steel, these machines provide safe and hygienic squeezing at high speeds.
1. Why Centrifugal Squeezing? The First Step to Efficiency
After washing, fabrics, yarns, or chemical products contain nearly 100% water. Evaporating this moisture in heating ovens or dryers incurs a very high energy cost.
Centrifugal squeezing machines mechanically separate a large portion of the water by spinning the material at high speed (high G-force).
Simple Math: Reducing the moisture content from 60% to 30% through mechanical squeezing halves the energy cost required to evaporate the remaining 30% moisture. This is an efficiency that directly translates into your operating profit.
2. Critical Technical Details in Choosing the Right Centrifuge
When selecting a centrifuge machine, it is essential to focus not only on capacity but also on three fundamental technical details:
Drum Material and Balance: The drum must be corrosion-resistant (AISI 304 or 316). More importantly, it must be dynamically balanced to prevent vibration at high speeds and ensure a long service life. ÖNSA Machinery ensures this balance at the most precise level.
Rotational Speed (RPM) and G-Force: The rotational speed achieved by the machine determines how dry the material will be. Higher speeds apply greater G-force, resulting in a lower moisture content. However, this speed requires the machine to be robustly and securely mounted.
Automatic Load Distribution (Vibration Control): Particularly in textiles, uneven distribution of material loaded into the drum causes severe vibration in the machine. Smart Centrifuges protect both the machine and your equipment by automatically stopping the machine or attempting to reduce vibration at low speeds.
3. Safety and Long Life: Stainless Steel and Brake Systems
As centrifuges operate at high speeds, safety and durability are the top priorities.
Stainless Steel Body: Ensuring that the outer and inner body structure, where chemical residues (paint, acid, caustic) may splash, is made entirely of AISI 304 or 316 prevents malfunctions caused by rust and corrosion.
Braking System: A powerful electric braking system is critical for safely stopping the machine from high speeds. Electric brakes, rather than mechanical brakes, provide faster stopping with less wear and tear.
Installation: Correct installation of the machine on vibration-damping feet prevents the transmission of vibrations to surrounding buildings or other machines.
ÖNSA Machine Centrifugal Presses offer engineering marvel solutions to minimise your drying costs by guaranteeing energy savings, high safety, and the lowest moisture content required by your process.
