The cost of a waste oil filter, especially a centrifuge system, can vary by manufacturer, capacity, and specific features. Here are general ranges based on the type of system you’re looking at:
1. Small or DIY Systems
- Basic waste oil centrifuges (like those from Dieselcraft or WVO Designs):
- Price range: $300 to $2,000+
- These centrifuges are typically designed for smaller-scale operations, such as filtering waste vegetable oil (WVO) or motor oil at home or in a small business. Prices depend on factors such as processing capacity (gallons per minute) and whether additional accessories (like pumps or heaters) are included.
2. Mid-size or Commercial Systems
- Mid-size centrifuges (like models from WVO Designs or Dolphin Centrifuge):
- Price range: $1,500 to $10,000+
- These systems are designed for small to mid-size commercial operations. They offer higher throughput and more advanced filtration capabilities, including the removal of fine particles and water from waste motor oil.
3. Industrial-grade systems
- Heavy-duty industrial centrifuges (such as those from Alfa Laval and Trucent):
- Price range: $10,000 to over $50,000
- These systems are typically used in large industrial operations that must regularly process large volumes of waste oil. They often feature more sophisticated technology, such as automated cleaning and multiple stages of separation (solid-liquid, liquid-liquid, etc.).
Additional costs:
- Maintenance and consumables: While centrifuges typically don’t require filters (since they rely on centrifugal force to perform separations), you may still need to budget for maintenance costs, such as replacing seals, bearings, or other components.
Installation and setup: Depending on the complexity of your system, you may also need to factor in installation and training costs, which can add several thousand dollars to the total price.
Pricing examples:
- Dieselcraft OC-50 (60 GPH): $299 for the centrifuge unit alone[12].
- WVO Designs Raw Power centrifuge: Entry-level models cost $1,500 to $2,000[11].
- Alfa Laval decanter centrifuge: $15,000 to over $50,000, depending on model and features[10][9].
For a more accurate estimate, it’s best to contact the manufacturer directly, especially if you’re looking for a specific configuration or need additional features like automatic waste removal or batch processing capabilities.
