Anything higher than that can cause premature aging of the wine, resulting in an undesirable loss in both flavor and balance. Too cold, and the flavor and the aroma of the wine declines as well. And then there is the humidity factor. If the humidity is not kept under strict control, mold begins to form… ruining the entire batch.

If you have a centrifuge or are going to buy a used centrifuge, which you intend to have reconditioned here are a couple of thoughts to consider. Your first choice is to use the centrifuge manufacturer or a independent centrifuge reconditioning facility. The manufacturers all perform the proper reconditioning but at a very costly price. In recent years some of the manufacturers have branched out to other brand centrifuges to keep their facilities busy, but price still be a factor in this scenario.

Chicago, IL – March 29, 2010 – When AEK Packaging opened a new 55,000 square foot climate-controlled warehouse in Bensenville, Ill. last year, its expansion effort went against the grain of most business trends. At that time, only 13 percent of manufacturers indicated to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC that they had plans to expand their business geographically. What’s more, the dealer of used packaging equipment débuted the new storage facility in style, nearly doubling the size of its previous location in Elkhorn, Wisconsin. As it turns out, that leap of business faith couldn’t have been a timelier decision.

The biotech companies surviving recent hard times know a thing or two about managing costs and saving money. Some are capitalizing on the failure of their peers by tapping into a growing supply of used manufacturing equipment. Thanks to the recent turnover among fledgling biotechs some "previously owned" gear has become available at steep discounts. And brokers say that, given economic realities, the stigma of buying used equipment has diminished greatly.

The first step would be to find out your required load. Contact your electricity supplier and ask them for a copy of your average load and peak load over the last 12 months. You should also know the Amps of your incoming service. Once you have the load information size the generator so the peak load is about 75% of your generator rated output.

A Transfer switch is installed between a backup generator, incoming power and your business. A transfer switch continuously monitors utility power and when it senses an interruption it sends a signal to start the generator, when the generator is up to the proper speed, Hz and voltage the transfer switch transfers the load to the generator to provide emergency power.

Generators have a useful life of 20,000 to 30,000 hours before a major overhaul is required. Most used generators come from back-up / standby / emergency applications and typically have very low hours. When new is not an option due to lead time or cost a used generator can be a great alternative.

Just completed earlier this year, we installed a used Cummins 200kW backup generator set. Last summer we had a power outage over a 3 day period. With over 50 employees and no power we were basically out of business for those 3 days. No computers, no phone system, no air-conditioning, no lights etc. Imagine that happening to your business? Within about 3 hours after the outage we were able to get the office up and running by temporarily hooking up a generator set that we had on hand. After the outage we realized that even those 3 hours lost were critical and we began planning on installing a permanent back-up. Now if there is a brown out or power outage we are back up in 10 seconds or less. It has certainly given us peace of mind. Take a look at our generators we have in stock to see how we can help you set up a similar emergency generator plan.

When looking at using a Decanter centrifuge for a separation application there are a couple of key factors to consider during selection. The first consideration is the desired phase to be either the solids or the liquid. If it is the solids, do you need dry dewatered solids or a concentrated/thickened solids.

Disc Centrifuges come in three basic designs. One is a Solid Bowl, which retains the solids on the inside diameter of the centrifuge bowl assembly. The solids are removed manually by hand. Generally they are used in applications with extremely low solids volumes in the feed stream since it is time consuming to remove the solids.

In the usage of a centrifuge you have two designs based on general physic rules. One design is based on filtration via spinning the feed material at a increased "G" force allowing the liquid phase to pass through a filter media leaving the dewatered solids on the filter media.
