As a company, one of our core values is customer service, offering a steady hand in a chaotic industry. This principle is why everything we do is based on our customers and the businesses that rely on us for their centrifuge needs, 24/7/365. It's also the reason I'm compelled to share the following message as we continue to adjust to the current state of the nation amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Take a look.

Centrifuge care and maintenance isn't something that comes naturally to most. Instead, it’s a skill that takes time to develop. I've been working with centrifuge equipment for decades, and I’ve worked with countless individuals who needed training on the basics of centrifuge service and maintenance because if you don’t know, you don’t know. So if you’re new to centrifuge equipment or if you’re just looking for a refresher, I've prepared the following list of ways anyone can increase their proficiency with this equipment.

Millions of Americans are living a reality that looks a lot different than it did one or two months ago. Due to COVID-19, the ways people work, learn, exercise, socialize, and celebrate have all changed. And while we’ve seen many businesses temporarily close their doors, there are many businesses continuing to operate, sometimes at increased levels of demand. These businesses, deemed essential services, are critical to keeping the supply chain moving.

First, thank you. We value our clients, our team members, and the communities we serve, especially during these uncertain times. 

Those of you who grew up in or around farming communities probably remember attending a celebration called Dairy Days. It was a festivity that focused on celebrating all things dairy. Depending on your town, the festivities were likely different, but I bet there were plenty of activities for the kids. Usual suspects could be: 

2019 was full of surprises for the dairy industry. Two major players in the industry announced closures, and companies along with their consumers are wondering one thing: what's in store for 2020? This year is shaping up to be an interesting one, with the increased pressure on companies to innovate and redirect the decline in demand.

The top dairy companies are going to be utilizing three distinct dairy industry trends in order to get ahead this year. Dairy industry growth will depend on new innovations from these organizations, and the drive to meet new demands from consumers. Keep reading for a breakdown of our top three dairy trends and one example of dairy innovation in action.

Is your centrifuge currently driven by a fluid or friction clutch? While clutch-driven centrifuges used to be the standard, those days have come and gone. Now, direct drive systems are what everyone wants. They provide numerous benefits, which I’ll cover below. 

When it comes to getting the most out of your centrifuge, a great place to start is by taking an honest look at your separation process. Centrifugal separation is complex, to say the least. Every process differs based on countless variables all working together. Still, when you break things down to their simplest forms, you’ll find that separation processes as a whole all depends on similar variables.
