LIQUID AND SOLID DISCHARGE CHUTES
Observe the following design considerations when fabricating the liquid and solid discharge
chutes. To determine dimensions and mounting hole arrangements, refer to drawing 16590-00 in
Section 11.
Liquid Discharge Chute
When fabricating the chute, be certain to make the chute as straight as possible. Minimal curves
are acceptable, but that will restrict flow away from the centrifuge should be eliminated from the
chute design.
Solid Discharge Chute
The solid end chute should be designed at a sufficiently steep angle to facilitate self cleaning. If
this is not possible, a means should be included to periodically remove accumulated solids from
the chute.
EQUIPMENT LEVELING
The centrifuge must be properly leveled for satisfactory operation. The equipment must be leveled
along the length and width of the unit (Figure 3022-3). A 2-foot or torpedo level is recommended.
Non-compressible shims should be used as required to level the machine.
