Product catalog summary
Introduction
Elgin Separation Solutions introduces the ESS-1655HD, a high-speed, fully-variable decanter centrifuge designed for efficient solids control and dewatering. With over 550 units installed globally, this centrifuge is ideal for maximizing product recovery and optimizing closed-loop systems.

Specifications
The ESS-1655HD features a stainless steel rotating assembly with a diameter of 16 inches and a length of 55 inches, providing stability even at maximum speeds. It includes premium bearings and tungsten carbide-lined internal flights for durability against erosive solids. The centrifuge is equipped with a 60 hp main drive and a 20 hp back-drive, capable of reaching speeds up to 3,400 rpm and generating over 2,300 G's of force.

Safety and Asset Protection
Safety features include OSHA-compliant guards, thermal couple interlocks, vibration sensors, and motor overload sensors. The top cover is designed for easy access with a power-assist lifting mechanism and spring-loaded hinges.

Power and Performance
The centrifuge uses a carbon fiber poly-chain drive system, eliminating the need for frequent belt re-tensioning and reducing energy consumption. The back-drive, coupled with a 56:1 gearbox, offers a wide performance window for managing cut-point and moisture content.

Effluent and Solids Management
Liquid-end management is facilitated by six stainless steel epicentric discharge ports, allowing for efficient pool depth adjustments. Solids are discharged through a 360-degree port arrangement with tungsten carbide ports and plows, handling large volumes without damage.

Configurations and Control System
The ESS-1655HD is available in mechanical variable and fully variable configurations. The touch-screen VFD control system offers enhanced features like internal lighting, ventilation, and Ethernet connectivity for diagnostics.

Industries Served
This centrifuge serves industries such as food rendering, petrochemical, horizontal directional drilling, industrial wastewater, and oil & gas.
