Evaluate Centrifugal Separators for Grinding Fluids

Buying a separator without fluid data is guesswork. This checklist turns “can it handle my grinding fluid?” into a set of answerable questions, the same ones our engineering team asks first.

Short on time? For a first evaluation, send us three things: your fluid type, what the solids are and roughly how fast they accumulate, and your required flow rate. We can start from there and tell you what else is worth measuring.

1. Fluid data

ItemWhat to provideWhy it matters
Fluid type and productWater-based coolant, oil or emulsion, plus the product name if you have itDetermines chemistry review and whether the fluid is a good fit for density-driven separation
Viscosity at operating temperatureValue or datasheet referenceSets the achievable flow. The JY-N95's 25–120 L/min range is fluid-dependent
pH and chemistrypH range and any additivesThe applicable pH range is pending final confirmation for your fluid, so chemistry review comes first
Temperature rangeNormal and peak operating temperatureAffects both viscosity and material compatibility

2. Solids data

ItemWhat to provideWhy it matters
What the solids areWheel abrasive (aluminium oxide, silicon carbide), metallic fines, swarfDensity and hardness both matter
Approximate concentrationmg/L, or a simple visual description of how fast debris accumulatesDrives how often the machine discharges
Particle size distributionOnly if already measuredHelpful but not always needed for a first evaluation
BehaviourDo fines agglomerate, float or stay suspended?Reveals whether the particles will actually migrate in a centrifugal field

3. Process and targets

ItemWhat to provideWhy it matters
Flow and pressureRequired flow rate and available pressure at the connection pointDefines the duty the machine must meet
Target cleanlinessA mass-concentration target, a surface-finish requirement or a fluid-life extension goalEach implies a different acceptance test
Current treatmentWhat you run today and what it costs in media, labour and wasteGives a baseline to compare against
Discharge handlingWhere collected solids go and how they are containerisedCollected solids must be handled downstream

4. Installation and operation

ItemJY-N95 referenceWhat to check
Footprint1370 × 780 × 1815 mm overallSpace and access around the machine
Power supply4.0 kW motor, 380 V, 50 Hz industrial supplyAvailability at the installation point
ControlPLC controls the machine automaticallyConnectivity options are confirmed per configuration
Operating patternContinuous or shift-basedAffects both sizing and the discharge cycle

What a good evaluation gives you

  • A written suitability assessment against your fluid and solids data
  • The operating window we can support
  • The points that remain unverified until a sample or trial confirms them

Anything less is a sales pitch, not an evaluation.

Ready to start? Send us your fluid type, solids description and flow requirement, and we will tell you what we can confirm and what needs a sample or trial.
