The Sharples SG-15 Super-D-Canter centrifuge, 316SS, is engineered for high-performance separation processes, making it an ideal choice for industries requiring efficient solid-liquid separation. With a maximum bowl speed of 2600 RPM and a centrifugal force of 2780 x G, this centrifuge is capable of handling a wide range of materials with varying densities. The 360-degree cake discharge feature ensures that the solid by-products are efficiently expelled, minimizing downtime and enhancing productivity. The unit is equipped with a 10-inch single lead STC-tiled conveyor and feed zone, which facilitates optimal material flow and ensures uniform feeding into the centrifuge, thus maximizing separation efficiency. The half-moon plate dams further enhance the operational capabilities by controlling the flow of materials, allowing for precise adjustments based on specific processing requirements.

The robust construction of the Sharples SG-15 Super-D-Canter centrifuge, 316SS, is complemented by its powerful 200 HP motor, which operates at 460V, 3-phase, 60 Hz, and 1755 RPM. This motor, paired with a P180 95:1 gearbox, provides the necessary torque and speed for demanding applications. Additionally, the 40 HP DC backdrive with stand ensures reliable operation and allows for smooth transitions during start-up and shut-down procedures. The integrated lubrication system guarantees optimal performance and longevity of the mechanical components, while the polymer feed tube is designed to withstand the rigors of industrial use. Safety features such as guards, vibration switch/isolators, and a comprehensive control panel are included to enhance operator safety and facilitate ease of use. Despite being a vintage model from 1983, this centrifuge remains in very good condition, reflecting its durable design and the quality of materials used in its construction.
