Multi-Unit Installations
For high-volume operations, US Filtermaxx centrifuges are commonly installed in banks of 4–6 units in parallel.
Multi-Unit Guidelines
- Allow 18" minimum between adjacent units (side clearance × 2)
- Plan shared manifold feed and collection piping to reduce overall footprint
- A single US Filtermaxx automatic controller can sequence multiple centrifuges
- Contact US Filtermaxx for site-specific multi-unit layout recommendations
Note: Refer to the dimensional drawings available from US Filtermaxx for exact clearance specifications and installation diagrams.
