A true industrial workhorse. The US Filtermaxx 3,000G centrifuge outperforms all other centrifuges in its class — built for the serious home operator, farm, or industrial shop. At 5,000 RPM bowl speed generating 3,000G of centrifugal force, it produces 2.5 times the separation power of a direct drive centrifuge for real one-pass cleaning.

Typical flow rate for biodiesel and diesel: 40+ GPH. WMO and heavy oil: 10–40 GPH. The bowl pulls sub-micron particles, water, glycerin, soap, and fine contaminants that other centrifuges leave behind.

Lab tests showed biodiesel settled 24 hours contained 5,000+ ppm water and glycerin. After polishing in the US Filtermaxx 3,000G centrifuge, water and glycerin dropped to 800 ppm — a 625% improvement in quality. When you see the water and glycerin dump, you'll be shocked at what you've been leaving in your fuel.

Specifications:

• G-force: 3,000G
• Bowl speed: 5,000 RPM
• Motor speed: 1,800 RPM (belt overdrive)
• Bowl capacity: 1 gallon displacement (165 cubic inches sludge capacity)
• Throughput: 240–1,000 gallons per day depending on fluid and contamination level
• Feed rate: 10–40 GPH
• Algae capacity: 2.7 liters per bowl
• Input: 1/4 inch NPT
• Output: 1-1/4 inch NPT
• Power: 120V or 240V single phase (select when ordering) — 6 ft power whip with 3-prong plug (120V) or NEMA L6-20P twist-lock plug (240V)
• Motor: 1 HP TEFC industrial electric, dual voltage 120/240V — wired for 120V or 240V to match your selection — 1,800 RPM long-lasting belt drive
• Spindle: 1 inch diameter with replaceable bearings — load carried by spindle, not motor bearings
• Body: 1 inch thick aluminum casting — rigidity, safety, minimal vibration
• Rotor: Machined aircraft-grade aluminum casting
• Bowl removal: Quick-release spindle — under 1 minute
• Machine weight: 120 lbs nominal
• Assembly: some assembly required — approx. 30–60 minutes
• Footprint: Fits on top of a 55-gallon drum

Key features:

• 3,000G / 5,000 RPM bowl — sub-micron particulate removal including water, glycerin, soap and fine debris
• Belt overdrive system — rotor runs at 5,000 RPM while motor runs at 1,800 RPM for quieter, cooler, longer-lasting operation
• Separate centrifuge spindle — NOT direct drive. Motor bearings are never exposed to WVO, WMO or sludge
• Forced ventilation — exhausts vapors from waste oil and biodiesel processing, prevents water vapor condensation in clean oil, vents methanol vapors
• Internal dam — separates clean and dirty oil zones inside the bowl
• Heavy-duty 1 inch thick aluminum body — built like a tank. US Filtermaxx centrifuges have been in continuous service for over 15 years
• Optional automatic controllers (Basic or Deluxe) — cycle and drain sludge before it overflows, for unattended operation up to 1,000 gallons per day
• Add an optional inline heater to thin cold or heavy waste oil for maximum throughput

Typical applications:

• WMO / black diesel filtration — remove water, hard particles, soot and sludge
• Biodiesel polishing — remove water, glycerin and soap to below 800 ppm
• WVO — feedstock preparation and direct fuel use
• Algae harvesting — 2.7 liter bowl capacity, large enough to reach in for easy paste removal
• Hydraulic oil, lube oil, transmission fluid reclamation
• Diesel fuel polishing

⚠ Never introduce liquid into an empty bowl at full speed. Fill the bowl during start-up acceleration to prevent bowl imbalance.

Centrifugal separation effectiveness depends on the particle class being separated:

• 100–1,500G — Macro/Cellular: whole cells, sand, large debris
• 1,500–10,000G — Microbial/Organelle: bacteria, fine emulsions, oil contamination
• 10,000–30,000G — Subcellular: mitochondria, DNA precipitates

Higher G-force provides better separation quality for finer particles — not necessarily higher flow rate.

Vibration isolator option — select it when ordering to add 4 isolator feet (CST-313), or add them later.

Special PTFE seals are available if needed for your application — request a quote or call 601.651.0007.

Explosion proof option: 1 HP explosion proof motor rated Class I Group D, Class II Group F&G, T3B for hazardous locations.
