Raw Power Centrifuge - 3450/2850RPM 120/230V

Centrifuge , great. The 3 phase converter quit the first month, replaced on the road again.

WVO RPC centrifuge is a fantastic product

Product:

The WVO RPC centrifuge is a fantastic product. It was easy to assemble and of great build quality. It is expensive, but it has great value. I was able to put together a break even analysis that made it make sense to me. More important than financial break even on the centrifuge purchase was the peace of mind that force settling the oil provides vs filtering. I have previously had filter setups (progressively smaller micron cartridges + waterblock), but had issues with water content. With the RPC, with heat and controlled flow, I'm seeing very clean and water-free oil.

Buying process:

The buying process was solid: Good internet search presence and promotion on other sites to help find the product; a lot of detail on use (videos, wiki, customer implementations, etc) to convert awareness to intent-to-buy; a clean online shopping cart with order validation and confirmation to provide confidence in the purchase.

Service:

The service after the sell was fantastic. Fast shipping and order status updates. Although the initial shipment had a broken part (shipping damage) and a couple missing components, the replacements and follow up were fast and effective. Mistakes and unplanned issues happen, it's how you respond to them that makes or breaks your brand. I am a very happy customer and have already talked up the product and experience to others.

Potential changes:

The packaging wasn't sufficient to protect the materials in transit - you might want to consider doing an inner pack for the legs with separators.

You might want to add a pack list with qa checkoff/initial to confirm everything went in the box.

As implemented:

Setup pics attached (design and current implementation). Mobile processing station, compact. 60 gal total capacity (4 x 15) with ability to re-run batches and store dirty/clean oil. Small batch process - I don't use much (VW TDI) and I try to run lean on getting it from dirty to clean.

Yes - I need to change the pump out for a legit WVO designs pump and swap the hose running to the heater with a high temp version :).

In summary, thank you. With your product I'm up and running on WVO again in record time.

Everything is working great.

It works great. I'm building a WVO scrub station, converting my Cummins thusly, and expect to be up and running in a month.

You did great. Thanks for timely shipment, good service, and quick part replacement when the mounting ear was cracked on my heater housing.

Great product !!!

Very pleased with your centrifuge. I have processed around a hundred gallons of oil and I am having great results running a 50-50 blend of used oil and #2 diesel. No filter changes yet and have no more smoke than straight diesel with better power and economy in my 95 powerstroke. Bought a 1984 Mercedes diesel and on my first tank and running great also. Thank you for a great product.

AWESOME!!!

Sweet setup! It really flings the crud out of the oil. I really like it! Wish I would have gone this route sooner. Get one and you will not turn back!

Very Impressive

Hi leon,

Just a quick fyi: my heated 10u racor 6120 filter that is installed inline within the wvo system of my merc is presenting initial signs of clogging (fuel starvation on extreme acceleration). This is after almost 30K miles on wvo cleaned by a single-pass though the centrifuge at approx 15 gal/hr. Very impressive!

Yer buddy,

Randy

Happy With The Product

I am happy with the product and your customer service.I was pleased with the amount of dirt it took out of 25 gals. that I ran thru the other day of oil that I thought was fairly clean to start with.I only have it set up temporarily now am working on a permanent setup with an inline heater so I can keep the oil between 130-150.I know you have a thermostactically controlled heater and if you run a special on them might purchase one so in the meantime will make one out of an electric hot water heater element and hope I hit the right temp.The only problem that I did have the last 2 times I used it was if I kept a screen at the bottom of my inlet container that would clog up and stop the flow + when I took the screen off on this last run it clogged up inside the fuge at the end of the tapered feed.I'm wondering if it would be better to have the opening bigger at the end of the infeed since the flow is controlled with a valve.If you were doing a large batch and did not check on it you might be running for hrs. with practically nothing flowing thru.I commend you on your innovation and pursuit of making the product cheaper and better that is why I bought your brand over the absolute fuge.If you run a special on one of your inline heaters please let me know. Thank-You Don Yurconic

Excellent Product

The WVO Centrifuge has lived up to it's billing. I've been using it for four months and it does an excellent job of cleaning my waste vegetable oil and polishing my finished bio diesel. I use Mag-D for the bio wash process and the centrifuge does a great job of removing the residual wash agent. A test of the finished product using a water wash shows no soaps or left behind impurities and the water is clear. This is a great tool for anyone wanting to produce high grade fuel.

Works Well

I think the centifuge works well. I wish I would have gotten more power.
