Cleaning Frequency Calculation
The Microseparator™ centrifuge separates the smallest particles of lens
debris that pass the screens of the Chip Separators. Typically, this is
primarily small powders of CR 39 and fractions of other materials. To
assist in calculating the cleaning frequency, the following data is
approximate and useful:
Volume of centrifugally compacted debris per CR39 lens = 6 in³ (98ml)
Volume of CF65G rotor sludge space = 277 in³ (4.5 litres/1.1 gal)
Volume of CF105G rotor sludge space = 462 in³ (7.6 litres/2 gal)
Based upon this data, the centrifuge cleaning frequency should be set for
approximately once per 60 CR39 lenses for the standard Microseparator™
System with CF65, 120 lenses for the Microseparator™ HC version with
CF105. Use these values as a starting point. Depending upon the quality
of the cutting bits, lens material, and other factors, you may need to
adjust the average cleaning frequency.
During a normal production period, check the Microseparator™ centrifuge
during its discharge cycle. If approximately one gallon of material
discharges per cycle with the CF65 or two gallons for the CF105, the feed
cycle timer may need to be decreased slightly. If however, considerably
less solids is ejected, increase the feed cycle timer until the rotor is
discharging near its capacity per cycle.
Note: The feed cycle timer setting controls the Cleaning Interval (In
minutes). The feed cycle timer setting represents the length of time the
Microseparator™ processes dirty liquid before it enters into cleaning
cycle. Typically this setting is set between 40-60 minutes. Shorter cycles
can be used where necessary.
