A centrifuge designed for multi-use in testing, featuring easy casing opening and closing for convenient cleaning, along with a robust interlock system.

We received an inquiry from Company K, a manufacturer that produces a wide range of chemicals, stating, "We would like a centrifuge for testing purposes. Since it will be used for multiple applications, it would be greatly appreciated if the casing could be easily opened and closed, the machine could be easily cleaned, and it has a robust interlock system." In response, we proposed and delivered a centrifuge equipped with a "casing opening and closing device (manual)," "various interlock functions," and a "top cover lock cylinder." As a result of using our centrifuge, the process of cleaning the casing, which previously required heavy lifting for product changes, has been reduced to just a few seconds, significantly improving time, cost, and work efficiency. Most importantly, we have heard from the operators that the workload has greatly decreased, making it highly valued. Additionally, due to the size of the machine, we opted for a manual opening and closing device using a reduction gear instead of hydraulic drive. This device is oil-free, making it easy to use even in clean rooms and similar environments. ↓ Continuing to basic information

basic information

Furthermore, in the case of top discharge models, there may be instances where safety devices such as interlocks are not installed due to the impression of being a user-friendly machine. However, in this case, based on the requests from our users, we have incorporated numerous interlocks, resulting in a centrifuge that is more focused on safety. We have received positive feedback as a centrifuge that contributes to the safety of operators. 【Delivered Model】 ■ Top Discharge Centrifuge "KM" ・Easy to use with simple operation, ideal for separating small quantities of various types ・The hydraulic direct drive type equipped with a casing plate opening and closing mechanism is effective for clean room and GMP compliance. *For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.

Detailed information

[Casing Opening and Closing Mechanism (Handle Opening and Closing Specification)] During in-flight cleaning, it is usually difficult to wash the casing (the outer part of the centrifuge) without suspending it. This option allows for cleaning without suspension by using hydraulic cylinders or similar devices. Regarding the drive, there are various options such as hydraulic, electric, and manual. In this example, depending on the machine size, manual opening and closing can be adopted, and there are cases where power is not required.
【Interlocks】 1) The machine cannot operate if the casing is not closed (detected by a limit switch). 2) The machine cannot operate if the cover is not closed (detected by a limit switch). 3) The machine will emergency stop if abnormal vibrations occur (detected by an abnormal vibration device). 4) Adoption of a cover lock cylinder → A lock cylinder is installed on the cover, and while the machine is operating, the cylinder extends to physically prevent the cover from opening. Detection is performed based on the rotation speed. By incorporating interlocks like the above, it is possible to prevent operation under dangerous conditions and ensure the safety of the operator.
