Decanter Centrifuge

5500 Fully Variable Electric Decanting Centrifuge

HH Model 5500 Fully Variable Electric Drive Decanting Centrifuge without CentriSmart™ Control Panel

HH Model 5500 Centrifuge with Fully-Electric Variable Main and Back Drive

Machine Description: High G-Force 5500 Centrifuge designed to utilize a variable frequency drive control panel. When mated with a customer supplied and HH approved control panel the centrifuge will operate from 500 g's to 2100 g's with a conveyor differential of 10 RPM to 60 RPM.

The Hutchison Hayes Model 5500 Decanting Centrifuge includes a rotating assembly dimensioned 16" diameter x 55" long. The rotating bowl is made from stainless steel and is centrifugally cast as one piece (not a welded assembly) in order to withstand corrosion and stress associated with high-speed operation. The conveyor is also constructed of stainless steel. This complete rotating assembly will be dynamically balanced.
