Industrial Centrifugal Lube Oil Purifier for Heavy Machinery

 Zanyo centrifugal lube oil purifier is a disc-type centrifugal separator, primarily designed to remove free water and mechanical impurities from lubricating oil, turbine oil, and heavy fuel oil. It’s not suitable for filtering dissolved water from oil, and the density difference between the oil and water must be greater than 1%.

This purifier is commonly used in the purification of ship fuel oil and turbine oil in power plants, efficiently separating water and impurities from the oil, ensuring the safe and smooth operation of the equipment.

Compared to traditional methods like precipitation separation and filtration separation, centrifugal specific gravity separation stands out as one of the most advanced oil filtration technologies. The machine can be seamlessly integrated into the oil system for continuous operation, effectively removing large quantities of water and solid particles from the oil.

Versatile Oil Purification for Industrial Lubrication Systems

Our centrifugal lube oil purifier efficiently handles a wide range of oils used across diverse industries. Whether you’re working with hydraulic oil, gear oil, refrigerating oil, internal combustion engine oil, heat treatment oil, or other lubricating oils, our purifier ensures optimal oil cleanliness and extends equipment lifespan. This technology is also perfect for specialized applications like ship oil, heavy fuel oil, and turbine oil.

Advantages of Centrifugal Lube Oil Purifier for Heavy Machinery

These purifiers spin oil at high speeds—up to 8,300 RPM—generating strong centrifugal forces that separate water and mechanical impurities from the oil with exceptional precision. This high-speed operation ensures a consistently effective purification process, outperforming conventional filters.

Centrifugal lube oil purifiers do not use filter materials, eliminating consumable costs and reducing maintenance downtime. Their robust, filter-free structure allows continuous operation under heavy-duty conditions, making them a cost-effective choice for industries where reliability is crucial.

Many models incorporate a heat exchanger, which preheats the oil efficiently. This design reduces heating power requirements by more than 50%, saving energy while improving the separation of contaminants.

By consistently delivering clean, high-quality lubricating oil, centrifugal purifiers help prevent corrosion, oxidation, and excessive wear, extending equipment life and reducing unplanned maintenance. This makes them essential for heavy machinery in mining, marine, construction, and industrial manufacturing.

Centrifugal lube oil purifiers are suitable for a variety of oils including hydraulic oil, turbine oil, gear oil, internal combustion engine oil, and heavy fuel oil. This versatility makes them ideal for industries ranging from marine, mining, and energy, to industrial manufacturing and power generation.

How the Centrifugal Oil Purification System Works

Centrifugal Oil Filtration Machine operate based on the principle of centrifugal force, which is used to separate contaminants of different densities from the oil. Here’s a breakdown of the process:

  1. Oil Entry: The oil enters the purifier at a controlled flow rate and is directed towards a rotating bowl or drum.
  2. Centrifugal Force Application: As the bowl spins at high speeds, centrifugal force is generated. This force pushes the heavier contaminants (such as water, sludge, and dirt) to the outside edge of the bowl, while the purified oil remains closer to the center.
  3. Separation and Collection: The purified oil flows towards the center of the bowl, where it is collected and directed to the output. The contaminants, on the other hand, are pushed towards the outer edges and are expelled from the system.
  4. Automatic or Manual Discharge: Depending on the model, the contaminants are either manually removed or automatically expelled, ensuring the system remains operational without frequent intervention.

Routine Maintenance for Centrifugal Oil Purifiers

Regular Cleaning of the Bowl

Although centrifugal lube oil purifier do not require frequent filter replacements, the rotating bowl can accumulate sludge and debris over time. Regular cleaning is essential to prevent clogging and ensure consistent performance.

Monitor Oil Quality

It’s essential to periodically check the quality of the oil being purified. If the oil has become too contaminated or the purifier is not functioning efficiently, it may be time for maintenance or replacement of parts.

Lubrication of Moving Parts

Since centrifugal lube oil purifiers involve rotating components, ensuring that all moving parts are adequately lubricated is essential to prevent friction and wear.

Check for Leaks

Inspect the system for leaks regularly. Any leak can lead to contamination and a drop in system efficiency, which can affect the overall performance of the purifier.
