Stone Fabrication
Self-Cleaning
Specially developed and pre-engineered water clarifying systems that feature accelerated settling force of an automated self-cleaning centrifuge are perfect for stone fabrication application, because the designed of the centrifuge system clarifies and recycles water from any combination of stone fabricating machinery, such as multiple saws, straight-line edgers and CNC machines.
Re-circulation and Filtration
US Centrifuge is pleased to introduce the modern stone fabricating industry to the benefits of water recycling with centrifugal separation technology.
This specially developed / pre-engineered water clarifying system featuring the accelerated settling force of an automated self-cleaning centrifuge is designed to clarify and recycle the water from a combination of stone fabricating machinery such as multiple saws / straight-line edgers / and/or CNC machines.
| Stone Fabrication Machine Specs | |
|---|---|
| Maximum dirty water in-flow | Up to 100-gpm average |
| A540 clarifying capacity | Up to 2,400 gallons per hour |
| Maximum “mud” removal | Up to 75 lbs. of solids cake per hour |
| Average water quality | Up to 99.9% clean recycled water |
This system features US Centrifuge’s Model A540 automatic self-cleaning centrifuge with separately driven plow system, PLC based centrifuge / system control panel, heavy duty steel machine support stand, integrated 1,500 gallon Conical Sedimentation Tank with integrated centrifuge feed pump, 200 gallon clarified water receiving tank with automatic float switch controlled lift pump, and 100-gpm @ 60-psi pressurized “on-demand” water return system.
Process Description
Dirty liquid from the operation drains into the floor trenches and runs into the below grade collection pit. A pump transfers the dirty water into the 1,500 gallon Conical Sedimentation Tank, which is sized for a minimum limit of 15 minutes retention / settling time @ 100-gpm. A 40-gpm pump continuously feeds the centrifuge concentrated “muddy” water off the bottom of the Conical Sedimentation Tank. The centrifuge separates the mud and discharges centrifugally clarified clean water into the 200-gallon catch tank. The centrifuge periodically stops and automatically discharges the separated solids cake into a sludge drum and / or hopper placed below the centrifuge. The clarified clean water in the catch tank is pumped into the center section of the Conical Sedimentation Tank. The centrifuged clean water and clean settled water are co-mingled in the center section of the conical tank. The clean water is intermittently returned to the stone fabricating machinery via the pressurized “on demand” return pump system.
US Centrifuge will recommend chemistry, specific to your application, to improve the overall efficiency of the recycling system and increase the life of the stone fabricating machinery and tooling
