Schenck Process Centrifuges provide controlled excitation for improved dewatering
Product/Service Name
Schenck Process Centrifuges
Function/ApplicationsSchenck Process Centrifuges are available in two basic models: the SCC, for coarse coal applications and FCC for fine coal applications.
Centrifuge processing is also used to dewater salt and other materials.
Differentiating FeaturesAll Schenck Process centrifuges use proven proprietary vibrator motor technology. Schenck Process VVVF controlled excitation system provides on-line stroke variation and optional on-line control, to improve dewatering plant control.
Schenck Process SCC centrifuges operate on the well-documented Tuned Vibration Absorber principle. The shaft assembly is accurately tuned to absorb the excitation applied to the centrifugal chamber. The benefits
include:
• Very low vibration levels transmitted to the surrounding plant structure
• Low power requirement for excitation
• Temporary stroke increase in the event of overloading to clear the basket and return to normal operating conditions.
Other features include an oil bath lubrication system which removes the cost and the risk associated with traditional recirculating systems.
The Schenck Process modular design ethos, used in both the SCC and FCC ranges significantly reduces downtime, especially when combined with Schenck service exchange program. The Vibration system developed by Schenck Process ensures minimal load transference to the surrounding structure and low noise operation.
Stainless steel options are available for corrosive applications, such as salt dewatering.
The Schenck Process SFC range uses the latest technology in toothed timing belts to provide a robust drive system, at a fraction of the cost of traditional gearbox arrangements.
The robust belt drive design, together with reduced complexity, means reduced down time. Other features include:
• Plummer block layshaft design for quick belt changes
• Long life belts keep maintenance costs low
• Lower critical failure occurrence and easy rectification in the event of a shutdown—no lump sum cost for gearbox replacement
• Low noise emissions.
High alumina ceramic tiling on all internal surfaces of the centrifugal drum and feed chute provide extended service life. Polyurethane protection is provided on internal surfaces not subject to high abrasion.
Other DetailsA costly breakdown is considered to be a fact of life in the mineral processing industry. However, customer peace of mind is assured through the Schenck Process Centrifuge Modular Design Ethos—used throughout the entire range of centrifuges.
Downtime is reduced to a bare minimum by ensuring quick and easy replacement of the shaft/bearing sub-assemblies and exciter motors.
This ethos, plus the Schenck Process service exchange program, means that the user can be assured of minimum downtime.
