How Do I Reduce Vibration?

Vibration in a batch sugar centrifuge can occur for a number of reasons. They include:

•    mechanical problems
•    wear
•    poor maintenance
•    incorrect operation (particularly during feeding)
•    inadequate support structure for the centrifuge

You can find out more about these issues and how to correct them in our Technical documents – Sugar Division section. (You’ll need a PDF reader such as Abobe Reader to view these files. Download Adobe Reader for free here.)

How Often Should I Inspect My Centrifuge Baskets?

Regular inspection of centrifuge baskets is vital step in ensuring the safe, long-term operation of any centrifuge. Inspection frequency varies between particular baskets and applications, but as a general rule baskets should be inspected every year and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

It’s important that inspections are carried out by trained personnel using crack detection techniques such as dye penetrant, ultrasonic or magnetic particle inspection, depending on the basket itself.  For a general guide, click here for our article on inspection procedures for a batch centrifuge basket for the sugar industry

If you need more help or advice on inspecting a centrifuge basket manufactured either by Broadbent or by other suppliers, please contact our Service Division on:
