Natehimself36 had this idea he gets credit. His efficient design
Maybe someone came up with this before. Not sure. Maybe someone can find this useful. Anyone else make something like this? Got pics? Simpler setup?
Made some mods, over complicated now lol
I am in the process of moving everything so its a mess. But one improvement I wanted to do for a while. Does require a tote with a ball valve. Big open center.
This should help with keep settled out sludge out of the centrifuge. I do let it settle in this dirty tote for a few weeks before centrifuging usually. Mainly because I figure pumping oil in would disturb the settled sludge off the bottom. It is plumbed to fill from the top. It also allows water and sludge to settle out and be drained off. Previously, I was doing it before starting and periodically while processing. The tote's flat bottom doesn't help. Conical tank would be sweet.
Reused some parts from the original design. Buddy helped with the lathe and welding work. If we did it over again. We would have brazed it and not welded it. Cast bushing and steel pipe.
Don't know if it leaks yet. Did not get to try it before a work trip.
