Power and Performance
Elgin’s Apex 16VFD™ is fitted with a NEMA premium, continuous duty, energy-efficient, poly-chain driven, 60 hp main drive and a direct-coupled 20 hp back-drive. All Apex 16VFD™ explosion proof motors used by Elgin are suitable for applications requiring UL or CSA certification for hazardous locations. The 60 hp main drive can operate the centrifuge up to a maximum rotational speed of 3,400 rpm, therefore generating more than 2,300 G’s of force. Using an inclined motor mount, motor and belt maintenance is made easy by the adjustment of two jack screws. No additional motor mounts, brackets or tensioning devices are required.

- Four (4) wide-mouthed, tungsten carbide discharge ports and plows.
