Looking for a centrifuge to clean my oil from the cold press that I can afford?
Hello,,
My name is Daniel McAmoil,, I am a farmer who is making my own bio diesel fuel from sunflowers. The issue I’m dealing with at this time is the fine mud I get from crushing sunflowers with my cold press. Its a real pain to filter as bag filters plug with just a few gallons unless one lets the oil settle for a week or longer.
From my reading off the net I see there are self cleaning units on the market,, but all I have found are way more than I need for size, and cleaning ability’s and costs.
The specs I’m looking at would be 20 to 25 gallon an hour..
Would like to clean the oil up to 3 to 5 microns
I’m dealing with about 2% to 5% solids.
Would like a self cleaning unit so it could catch the oil right from my cold press and them pump clean oil into storage tanks.
Thanks for your time

Cuno makes a brand of filter called Auto-Klean which is not centrifugal but has no replaceable filter element, it filters between metal discs, and there’s a handle outside the filter that you can turn 1/4 turn to clear the filter. It can also be disassembled without messing with the piping to it.
