After the lid has been closed, the centrifuge runs at maximum speed for deoiling with a vertical axis of rotation. The tilting device is automatically locked and the ejected oil flows through the outlet into a drain.
• the centrifuge After a sufficient spin time, the centrifuge is braked and tipped into the scrubbing wash position. In this position, the centrifuge drum is driven so slowly that the objects in it are treated as in a scouring bell. Via an inlet on the centrifuge lid, an alkaline liquid at 80 ° C., optionally with an anti-rust agent, is added to the drum. After completion of the washing process, the washing liquor used is pumped back into a storage container via the two-way valve.

Only then is the centrifuge drum tilted back into the vertical centrifuging position, hydraulically locked and set at maximum number of revolutions - for example 1000 revolutions per minute - and the remaining liquid is thrown out. In this last step, drying is supported by the supply of hot air. After the centrifuge is braked, the lid opens automatically, the insert can be grasped, removed and brought to the dumping station.
