How To Build Waste Motor Oil Centrifuge!

[@gregkretchmer3588]

Honda used centi type oil filters for a while on smaller motorcycle engines mounted on the clutch side of the crank. They cleaned so well that getting the "dirt" out of the small drum was quite a project in it's own. They put small blades on the side of the spinning drum so the oil wouldn't slide in the drum, keeping oil at the full spinning speed while running. This forces the dirt to form a layer in the drum and pack tight. The dirt was mostly aluminum worn from the cylinder by the cam chain. It looks like solid aluminum as you dig it out with a screw driver. Great project.

[@harleyinglis5360]

what model of honda used it?

[@gregkretchmer3588]

@@harleyinglis5360 There were 2 types as I remember, the trail 90 type and the twin cyl motors, 175, 350, 450 and a few others. 90 type (most singles) the clutch was on the crank end, so was the filter. Twins, you had to open the filter to get to the crank end nut by a snap ring. Early 70's stuff.

[@filipporossifavilli68]

the engine oil filter of the old fiat 500 was made like this long before the 70s...

Inspiration. I wonder if a wood shaper would make a good platform to modify. Thanks for all of your designs!

[@santeryi9]

A wood shaper has a brush motor and may overheat with prolonged operation. An induction motor is a better option, as they are robust have no friction parts, may operate literally non stop for years, the speed can be controlled with a frequency converter.

[@irszgatti]

incredible. very safe and tidy. great work

[@santeryi9]

Thanks 👍

You can also add a anti splashing ring in the bottom of the centrifuge Bowl 3 spacers and three little bolts or studs

[@ShmeegleSon]

Very cool thank you!

[@santeryi9]

You're welcome, hope it comes in handy!

[@VenturiLife]

Ships use large centrifugal filters to clean oil also.

[@santeryi9]

Yes, they are everywhere in the industry!

You can do it!

[@mickwolf1077]

Nice job with that. I got the exact same ryobi grinder. I never would have thought to use it to drive a centrifuge.

[@santeryi9]

Thanks 👍

[@robertschumacher472]

These oil purifiers have been around forever .. the Navy uses them in ships to purify oil in gearboxes.. semi trucks like mac use them forever.. Peterbilt and Kenworth also provided them as a option. They were a throwaway item that you took off and replaced but clean the spinning canister part. Yes Honda used them and also Land Rover and in Belarus 420 and 250 tractors. Ocean going ships use what they call a lube oil purifier that places a layer of water right up by The hub or drum and the oil floats on the top of it allowing the water to wash out the impurities while leaving the oil perfectly clean. Those items in their smallest form where in about 10,000 used. I don't know about nowadays after all the inflation. When you don't have something and you can make it like Alex it is good but I would be concerned that you don't get too close should it fly apart at too high in RPM. For those interested I would like to add that among all of those kinds of purifiers I believe there was a paper element that you could put on the outside of the Bell so you could pull off all of the dirt and gum. In that case they use the oil pressure to spin on a rod and spray out on the outside and it was fairly cleanable. Check out Hutchinson, I think they manufactured it for Mac, m a c k trucks

[@santeryi9]

I always enjoy hearing about how people are using this technology in different ways. I have an old Soviet oil pressure driven track centrifuge, but planning to use it as a second statge, to prevent the oil pump to process a dirty oil through the gears of the pump. Thanks for sharing!

[@Pef273]

Awesome job! Do you have a video that shows the jig you used to hold the metal on the lathe? I have wanted to do simple mill work on my lathe, and curios what your jig looked like

[@santeryi9]

Hi, I believe I show everything in this video, If you mean the flat plate, then I used a small welding blob on one side of the plate and live center on another, the chuck jaws are partially opened, used as lever to push against the weld pimple on the metal plate, and this way you can carefully without forcing too much make a rue round plate.

[@naturevlog5630]

I also had to make centrifuge separator for my final year undergraduate project. Is this can separate solid and liquid? My solid particles are have 5-10 micro meter diameter and my liquids are used engine oils. Do you think it can be possible separate those solid and liquid oil from this type of centrifuge mechanism. I hope your kind reply.

[@composing0]

@@santeryi9 I mean, is the higher the speed of the engine, the better??

[@composing0]

Hello How are you How many cycles does this device rotate per minute??

[@tonydiesel3444]

If you have the feed closer to the bottom of the centrifuge bowl or closer to the inside wall it will help prevent the splashing

[@santeryi9]

Yes sure, I'll improve it.

[@BruceBusby]

I feel silly for asking but... what does spun oil get you?

[@kieranh2005]

Cheap substitute for diesel. Just have to thin it out a bit with petrol or kerosene/jet fuel

[@santeryi9]

The spinning creates a few Js of artificial gravity if you like, so anything that heavier than oil, water, particles are getting so heavy that they are drawning in the layer of the oil and stick to the bottom or inner wall of the spinning drum. In other words I have a clean oil.

[@firstmkb]

@@santeryi9G’s (for gravity), not J’s but I understood. I saw a lab centrifuge that would produce 25,000 G’s if I remember. I think you could make coal from used oil with that!

[@kinzieconrad105]

So how long did it last before grinder bearings gave out.

[@santeryi9]

Honestly do not know, this one was bought as second hand back in 2001, then I used it in my workshop every day till 2021, it was already out of balance vibrating, then all mounting bolts broke, so I replaced it with another grinder, and this one was used for the project. Thus it is already about 30 years old, still going strong, I think I can squize another decade out of it, then simply replace bearings.

[@mikeanaba518]

Great skill work. How much will you take to build one for me.

[@santeryi9]

Hi, i built it out of the junk metal, and honestly do not know how much the new one built out of new materials would cost.

[@ianbottom7396]

Nice job Alek. What is the wattage of your heater? If you wanted to save some power it would be easy enough for you to add a DIY heat exchanger on the oil in / out to recover some heat

[@santeryi9]

The heater is 800w suppressed with voltage regulator to keep it at about 100c.

what plasma cutter are u useing it looks like we have the same handle im needing consumables but dont have the model number info

[@santeryi9]

I bought irt back in 2010 it called Cut40 other than that I now nothing, it was sold with tig acsessories, and I had to contact the seller to exchange the welding cables with plasma cables, I think BOC 40A plasma cutter is exactly the same.

[@m721ac]

Hello ive watched several times but i just need to hear it from the creator...does this expedite filtration of wvo for fuel?

[@santeryi9]

Why not, it will filter water and sludge out of WVO too.

[@m721ac]

@@santeryi9 thank you for confirming.cheers

[@AyoubTAYEB]

i have a small suggestion tho, for the spinning bowl it should be contained withthe small sludge container so you won sping the small drops into clean oil, i hope i explainned better

[@AyoubTAYEB]

see minute 15:35 that thing shoul contain slightly the spinning part as well !

[@santeryi9]

Sometimes I pack it with cardboard plates acting as a filter, good for final recovered diesel filtration.

[@composing0]

How fast is the rotational speed??

[@santeryi9]

The centrifuge does 3000 revs per minute.

[@composing0]

I made a device at 10,000 rpm and the oil broke and became foggy. Is this due to the increase in speed?

[@louismessere6379]

It would have been cool to see him complete the build then use it.

[@slawomirgierczak561]

hi;) great job! what rpm You use?

@@danielparsons3526 i haven’t tried til now

[@MateuszCOMPANY]

how many RPM ?

[@santeryi9]

3000 RPM

[@rs-nk8cf]

Couldnt you just use different microns of some type of screen/mesh like cheese cloth or bubble bags, or possibly sand and charcoal(the type for aquariums) and suspend over a collection container and let it naturally seep through and drip into the container or better yet find a way to press, or suck it through a filtration media?

[@santeryi9]

Sure, it an be done, but what about all that media getting soaked with contaminants and thrown away, so any filter will gets clogged, any media should be discarded, and new materials used every time, so the long story short - the centrifuge is a filter that can be reused again and again, the sludge is scraped off the walls and no media needs to be discarded, so it is faster and cheaper.

[@ambermin5442]

Nice work ! What is the rpm of the grinder? I wonder if a higher rpm will give better result? I wanna build one myself .

[@santeryi9]

It is about 3000rpm yes the faster the better, from processing speed perspective. Better than nothing.

[@fveggerby]

I don't understand the physics. How is this supposed to separate/clean?

[@CaseyBarnett-e8s]

I guess weight of metal and dirt is typically heavier than the oil needs a cloth center (prob don’t do this as it takes forever to do such) filter like a dust mask so it can get everything not exactly sure

[@kieranh2005]

Its spinning at 3000rpm. In the centrifuge the centripetal force is pushing outward not down like normal gravity. Things sink outward toward the periphery of the centrifuge drum, while the oil fills the drum until the step is reached then flows over the step and is flung out into the housing/catcher. So its flowing *up* against normal gravity. Bit of a mind F A 150mm/6" diameter centrifuge is putting its contents under approx 800G's at that rpm. A 200mm/8" is pushing 1000G's. Anything heavier than the oil (metal filings, dust, water) sinks outward really quickly to the periphery of the drum.

[@santeryi9]

Thanks for explaining it to other people, really appreciate.

[@CaseyBarnett-e8s]

@@kieranh2005 dust isn’t heavier than oil tho Water would have to be cooked out cause oil and water don’t mix your essential adding a non oil to and oil and they are gliding off of eachother the metal shavings make sense cause duh

[@CaseyBarnett-e8s]

I go nothing against im just tryna understand how your getting oil and water to mix away and the dust out cause you got to think if your continously pouring water mixed with oil in centrifugal force some of that water would go with some of that oil sure they don’t mix but they both are fluid like and eventually fall low into your container
