The Sharples PM-55,000 Super-D-Canter centrifuge, 316/317SS is engineered for high-efficiency separation processes, making it an ideal choice for industries requiring robust and reliable equipment. With a maximum bowl speed of 2850 RPM and a centrifugal force of 2770 x G, this centrifuge is capable of handling large volumes of material, rated at 150 gallons per minute (GPM). The bowl dimensions of 24 inches by 76 inches provide ample space for effective separation, while the 360-degree carbide-lined cake ports and moon plate liquid dams ensure optimal performance and minimal product loss. The design incorporates a 6-inch single lead STC-tiled conveyor, which enhances the discharge of separated solids, making the process more efficient and reducing downtime for maintenance.

The Sharples PM-55,000 is powered by a robust 100 HP motor operating at 460 volts, 3-phase, 60 Hz, with a speed of 1775 RPM. This powerful motor, combined with a 15 HP ECB backdrive and a 98:1 gearbox, allows for precise control over the centrifuge's operation, ensuring consistent performance even under varying loads. Additionally, the inclusion of guards, a feed tube, and a lube system enhances the safety and reliability of the equipment. Vibration isolators and switches are integrated to minimize operational disturbances, further enhancing the longevity of the centrifuge. With prior use in sewage applications, this unit has been well-maintained and is in very good condition, making it a valuable asset for any facility looking to upgrade their separation technology. Slightly larger than the P5000 model, the PM-55,000 offers increased capacity without compromising on efficiency or performance.
