WVO Centrifuge

posted on August 11, 2008 in WVO Centrifuge

I have been collecting and filtering Waste Vegetable Oil using an WVO Centrifuge for many months now. It was obviously the way to go as I had to start with 200-300 gallons of oil per week! Initially I was very concerned about overflowing in oil but quickly found that there were many people that would take it off your hands for a reasonable price (especially if it was clean). I paid $700 for a machined rotor and a motor from Simple Centrifuge and had to design and build my own enclosure. As time went on, I started a website to share the Ford Conversion I came up with and also the design and setup of my WVO centrifuge. What I found was that not only did people want the design but many wanted to actually purchase the parts. At this time the only “complete” centrifuges were those little Diesel Craft units and, not to get off topic, but I can’t see that they are worth the cost of shipping. None the less, to address demand and the obvious need in the waste oil for fuel community; I took my unit as a prototype and added my engineering design and manufacturing experience to design a product suitable for the serious oil collector or Co-op but priced for the individual. The result is the “Raw Power WVO Centrifuge. It is an all cast aluminum machine a machined rotor very similar to another product on the market but, instead of an incredible $2200 price tag I can offer my unit in a complete kit form for $1500. And as if it wasn’t a good enough deal, I am offering a pre-production discount for those that order in advance of the early October delivery date. $1000 Complete for the month of August. I appreciate all feedback and comments.
