anyone have any ideas what I can use for a centrifuge bowl?
like the bowl in this pic https://royalextractmachines.com/product/rosin-bowl-centrifuge/
couple of videos showing how they work
I've wanted one for years but I'm only just about to start making bio diesel
I'm not confident the with ideas I'm having I could make one and keep it balanced for the rpm then need (style in the pic above is 5000rpm iirc )
my mind going along ideas of two brake drums welded together etc. etc
maybe I could turn one from an aluminium billet, but again, I'm unsure about balance
there's a few people online using torque converters.... but they have holes in so I don't see how they could work well?
I'd buy one but they're apparently pretty impossible to get here now
I've been trying to think of something bigger/wider, so I can get the same G force with fewer rpm
maybe a van wheel rim, steel plate on one side, then put it on a mate car tyre balancer... but a quick google says there're more used to 500 to 600rpm than thousands
