    How to maintain a decanter centrifuge

    Time: 2024-06-04 Source: Solids Control Equipment Author: Mrek
    Oilfield centrifuge also known as drilling fluid centrifuge, decanter centrifuge, etc., are one of the common solid control equipment. In daily use, the correct maintenance of decanter centrifuges is very helpful to maintain the working efficiency of the centrifuge, improve the service life of the centrifuge, and reduce the failure rate of the centrifuge.

    In daily use of decanter centrifuges, if the centrifuge needs to be parked for a long time, before parking, we need to clean the residual solid slag inside the centrifuge to ensure that the centrifuge can be parked for a long time without problems.

    It should be noted that ordinary cleaning methods often leave solid slag residues. We should use soaking to extend the cleaning time. The specific soaking method is to use a lower drum speed, a very small spiral differential, and a relatively small water injection flow rate to greatly extend the cleaning time. In this way, the solid slag settled on the inner wall of the drum will fall off completely.

    Before the centrifuge is shut down for a long time and then restarted, it is necessary to remove the rust on the pulley. Rust is an important reason for accelerated belt wear.

    After the centrifuge has been running for a certain period of time, the transmission belt will inevitably wear and loosen. We must frequently adjust the belt tension and check the degree of belt wear within the normal service life of the belt. The belt must be replaced in advance before damage, just like the bearing, otherwise it will cause the motor to shake and the machine to vibrate. If the belt breaks during operation, in most cases, the speed probe of the accessories will be damaged, causing unnecessary additional losses.

    In daily use of the centrifuge, the anti-wear bushing at the solid slag discharge port of the centrifuge should be checked frequently. The anti-wear bushing cannot be understood as a bushing that never wears. It is just a bushing that is easy to replace, so that the material cannot directly abrade the stainless steel body. While checking the anti-wear bushing at the slag discharge port, we can have an understanding of the abrasive characteristics of the material in order to predict the wear of the material on the spiral blade.

    The scraper block at the slag discharge port is also an important component that needs daily inspection. If the scraper block at the centrifuge slag discharge port falls off, the solid slag will also directly abrade the stainless steel body of the drum, and at the same time, the vibration value will increase.

    It is also very important to check the degree of bearing wear. In daily use, the decanter centrifuge should indirectly judge the degree of bearing wear by observing the color of the waste grease, bearing temperature and bearing vibration, so as to take corresponding measures in time to ensure the efficient and normal operation of the centrifuge.
