LANNER DS Centrifuges
LANNER‘s DS centrifuge is engineered for the efficient separation of free-flowing metal chips and grinding sludge from coolants, achieving residual moisture levels below 1%. This self-cleaning system utilizes a lifting bottom mechanism that, under high centrifugal forces, presses the material against a slot sieve to separate liquids from solids. The extracted coolant can be recycled back into production or directed to further treatment processes.
Key features of the DS centrifuge include a long service life, highly wear-resistant construction, vibration-proof setup, and suitability for handling grinding sludge. It operates fully automatically and continuously, offering a compact design with low maintenance costs and easy servicing. The self-cleaning principle ensures consistent performance, making it an optimal solution for drying fine metal chips and grinding sludge without the environmental impact and energy consumption associated with thermal drying methods.
LANNER PV Centrifuges
The LANNER PV parabolic centrifuge is engineered for the efficient separation of coolants from free-flowing metal chips, achieving optimal dryness levels. Its robust, wear-resistant construction ensures long service life and minimal maintenance costs, making it a cost-effective alternative to lifting bottom centrifuges. In certain applications, the PV centrifuge can be positioned directly beneath the discharge conveyor of a tooling machine, allowing the recovered coolant to be seamlessly reintegrated into the manufacturing process or directed to filtration systems.
The operation involves feeding wet, free-flowing chips into the centrifuge’s infeed hopper, where centrifugal force propels them upward along the drum surface to a slot sieve, effectively separating the coolant. Subsequent chips push the dried material over the drum’s edge, exiting the centrifuge into a chip cart or discharge conveyor. The separated coolant can then be returned to the machine tool or pumped into a coolant-cleaning system, enhancing resource efficiency and reducing waste.
LANNER ME Centrifuges
The LANNER ME batch centrifuge is a versatile entry-level model designed for continuous operation in de-oiling, drying, coating, and conserving manufactured parts. It achieves residual moisture levels below 1%, depending on the material processed.
The centrifuge features an electromagnetic lid locking mechanism, unbalance detection switch, and standstill control for maximum operational safety. Optional accessories include a rotation speed controller, crane support with pivot arm or electric chain hoist, heating, tank, and transport cart for the drum or customized carriers. Customized executions in stainless steel or EX protection are available upon request.
In operation, a basket filled with chips or parts is elevated into the centrifuge using a lifting hook. Once placed inside, an individually set centrifuging time begins. After completion, the drum is removed, and the process can be repeated with the next batch of wet material. This design ensures long-lasting continuous operation with minimal maintenance costs and quick return on investment.
