Abstract
A continuous clean centrifuge is provided for separating denser materials from a flow of liquid. The device includes a manifold assembly rotatably supported within a frame assembly and driven by a motor via a belt and sprocket system. A first rotary coupler connects a manifold inlet to the source of liquid, and a second rotary coupler connects a manifold outlet to downstream usage. A plurality of valve inlets and remotely-operated release valves selectively discharge separated denser materials during operation. A main logic controller regulates motor speed between a first rotation state for separation and a second rotation state for purging, based on inputs from a programming interface, variable frequency drives, and multiple sensors. A shroud encloses the frame assembly to provide environmental protection. The centrifuge provides continuous, automated separation of denser materials from a liquid flow.
