Anyone with experience running one of these? Curious as to your processing rate (GPH) and thoughts on effectiveness?

I happen to have one, considering converting it.

Yeah. Its a ~8" open bowl at about 3400 RPM. The conversion involves sealing the bowl (perforated stainless), as its normal use involves essentially squeezing liquid from plant matter through the perforated sides of the centrifuge. Pulp stays in the bowl, liquid flows out.

years ago I bought one to build a wvo fuge but never did
I had good luck pouring into a 55g drum through bag filters, heat and settle, then pump through spin on filters

I looked last year for some of the old build threads, most of it's been nuked from the web
most of the old forums are gone

from what I remember, you need to seal the sides of the bowl.
I think fiberglass epoxy was recommended. mix a little, pour it in the bowl and spread very thin, use a soft putty knife to push it into the screen
let dry, leak check, repeat if needed

I think the greasecar or infopop forum had a retired guy traveling the country in an old ford with a slide in camper
he hung it under a step ladder, placed a bucket of wvo on the ladder and gravity fed it

forrest gump / brian miller was using one too, if I remember

if you find anything further post it
I'm interested too
