All centrifuges are supplied with a high quality punched gasket. The optional mounting bracket can be seen in the picture and makes for an easy job of holding the centrifuge firmly in place. It has a flange mounting with two 12.5mm holes and a 1” BSP female thread for attaching a gravity drain return pipe. The mounting bracket is not essential for the operation of the centrifuge, however the centrifuge must be firmly held in place and the mounting bracket is the easiest and most cost effective way to achieve this.

Also available is a pre-assembled pipe work kit which consists of a pressure gauge, safety over pressure release valve, the difficult to find M12 x 1.5 to 1/4BSP adapter and all the fittings required to be able to connect easily and safely to your centrifuge.

Alternatively if you wish to make your own pipe work assembly you may wish to purchase just the M12 x 1.5 to 1/4 BSP adapter as these can be quite hard to find, if you do decide to make up your own pipe work assembly please ensure a suitable safety pressure release valve is fitted to primarily ensure your own safety and secondly to prevent the possibility of damage to your centrifuge.

One of the most important factors to getting good results from a centrifuge is the oil pressure and flow rate. The SE-20 centrifuge can handle up to a maximum of 3.5 Litres or roughly 1 gallon per minute with a pressure range of 45-90PSI. However we suggest you use a pump that will deliver an output in the range of 60-85PSI at 3.5 LPM when using the SE-20 for the best results to be achieved. Any pressures in excess of 90PSI are likely to damage the centrifuge rotor assembly.

We recommend the use of our CE approved, Piusi Viscomat, high-viscosity gear pumps designed specifically for use with lubricating oils this pump is ideal because not only is it self priming but it incorporates an adjustable pressure bypass valve making it easy to set your pump to the desired pressure for optimum centrifuge working conditions. All seals within the pump are made from Viton to withstand all forms of vegetable oil contact.

We do not currently supply a pipe to connect the two together as this is a simple job that you will most likely want to do yourself because of the varying lengths required depending on your own individual needs however, if you inform us of the length required we will happily return you a quotation upon request.

The second most important factor is the viscosity of your oil, the thinner the oil is the better the results you will achieve, so warming the oil to aid thinning will help to increase performance and gain more pleasing results.

Alternatively if you wish to make your own pipe work assembly you may wish to purchase just the M12 x 1.5 to 1/4 BSP adapter as these can be quite hard to find. It is needed to connect to your centrifuge if you are not using our pre-assembled pipe work assembly. Please do not purchase this item if you have selected the pre-assembled pipe work as it is supplied with that assembly as standard. If you do decide to make up your own pipe work assembly please ensure a suitable safety pressure release valve is fitted to primarily ensure your own safety and secondly to prevent the possibility of damage to your centrifuge.
