The Sharples XM-905 Super-D-Canter centrifuge, 316SS, is engineered for high-efficiency solid-liquid separation, making it an essential asset in various industrial applications. With a maximum bowl speed of 2300 RPM and a centrifugal force of up to 3000 G's, this centrifuge is capable of processing large volumes of material, rated at 540 GPM. The robust construction features a fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) top cover, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion, which is particularly advantageous in harsh operating environments. The 17-degree grooved beach design enhances the separation process, allowing for optimal cake formation and discharge. The 360-degree cake discharge ring dam facilitates efficient removal of solids, while the centrate discharge system ensures that liquid effluent is effectively managed, minimizing downtime and maximizing throughput.

This centrifuge is powered by a 400 HP Reliance motor operating at 460V, 3-phase, 60 Hz, and 1800 RPM, paired with a Voith fluid coupling that eliminates the need for a gearbox, thereby reducing maintenance requirements and enhancing reliability. Additionally, the unit includes a 40 HP DC backdrive motor with a stand, which provides further operational flexibility. The integrated lubrication system, vibration switch, and isolators contribute to the longevity and performance stability of the equipment. The feed tube, guards, and VFD control panel are designed to ensure safe and efficient operation, allowing for precise control over the separation process. With its vintage dating back to 1987, the Sharples XM-905 has been well-maintained and is in excellent condition, previously utilized for thickening Waste Activated Sludge (WAS). This makes it a valuable option for facilities looking to enhance their wastewater treatment processes without the need for extensive capital investment in new equipment.
