Centrifuges
How a Centrifuge Failure Almost Became Deadly
The team at Houston Dynamic Supply work with all sorts of centrifuges and rotating equipment across all industries. We have seen everything from catastrophic failure to simple fixes to rebuilding components at a fraction of the standard price. Below we will share a case study on a serious and nearly fatal failure of a centrifuge…
Read MoreIndustrial Centrifuge Maintenance
We previously discussed industrial centrifuge basics and wanted to continue by discussing industrial centrifuge maintenance. Like any other piece of equipment, proper maintenance is essential to keeping your centrifuge running optimally for as long as possible. The effort put into centrifuge maintenance pays for itself as they are large, powerful machines, and they do what…
Read MoreIndustrial Centrifuge Basics
An industrial centrifuge is designed to use intense centrifugal force generated by mass rotation to meet the needs of various applications. They are generally used for large scale fluid separation applications. Think of an industrial centrifuge as a larger version of a lab centrifuge used to mix samples at a much larger scale using a…
Read MoreCentrifuge Repair Issues
Centrifuges are a key component to your assembly line and process. But what happens when they start to fail or break down completely? Know the signs to identify any centrifuge repair issues before they happen. Signs You Need Centrifuge Repair There are many signs your device may be on the brink of failure. These signs…
Read MoreEquipment Series – Centrifuges
The next installment of our Equipment Series focuses on centrifuges. Centrifuges are equipment that separate suspended solids from liquids using centrifugal (or circular) forces generated by a spinning internal mechanism. They use the principle of sedimentation to cause denser substances to move outward in a radial direction. At the same time, the spinning causes less…
