Difficult to coat evenly thereby making any imbalance problems worse.

I must have straped down the juicer too hard and the outside where the metal clip is broke off. This thing has taked soooo much fat and crap out of the oil. I just finished 50 gallons of oil from the bottom of the 330 gallon tote and the oil looks OK. I am going to run it through again to clean it better.

None from me. I am trying to figure out how to set up my totes and juicer system. I want to make a real clean setup. I can't stack 2 totes because I don't want my HOA to see what I am doing. Right now I have ficus hedges hiding the totes.
I want to be able to open 1 tote, spin the oil into another tote (330 gallons) and then spin back to the previous tote. If I had more room this would be easy. The last of my biodiesel set up is almost gone so that should give me more room and less mess. I want to bring my entire vegetable oil stuff down to 3 330 gallon totes and 1 220 gallon tote for collecting.

maybe this will help. I put this together this weekend. i put a tote on a 2x10 wood box. but you can use cement blocks. then i piped with heater to centi the centi dumps into a plastic trash can, inside can is cheap sump pump that pumps it back into tote. i will let this run for 2 or 3 days.

I get the same foam crap onthe top of my oil also as in picture #5. Maybe because I was spinning crap oil I dont know. If I can get 10 gpm from one juicer that will be awesome!

the foam is from 2 things.
1 your spinning more then 10 gallons an hr and that introduces air.
2. oil is to cold. if you get your oil to 120 degrees then you can do 20 to 25 gallons an hr without foam.

BTW not many people come here very often. Maybe like myself everything went so smooth for so long. 5 years ago 40-50 people where on here all the time. Its good to know you are trying new stuff.
I wonder where onetank has gone?

Yea, no heat yet for me. I only did 50 gallons. Are you saying I can do 25 gph with 1 juicer?

the stock juicer will do up to 20 gallons an hr. if you want to do faster you have to remove the outside bowl. the one with the spicket. look inside and you will see the hole to the spicket is to small. if you take a marker and lay it ontop of the inner lip and draw a line by the spout you will see what i mean. on the metel 6001 i use a wleder or dremel tool to make the spicket hole taller. on the 5001 they are plastic and easier to drill. after you do that then you can spin 30 gallons an hr before the wvo over flows on the inside and spits out the sides. I'm sure you have had it over flow and spit out the sides? so you turned the flow down. if you cut the bowls hole taller you can flow more wvo before it over flows. but the slowwer your flow the cleaner the wvo will be.

Rick,
Any info from GC on lab testing results for their stationary filtration system comparing raw WVO to filtered - i.e. particle size and water parts per million?

Brian, what's your take on sealing the perforated basket with fiberglass resin instead of sheetmetal?
