Heavy Duty Motors – All CMI motors are modified to withstand vibrations incurred during normal continuous operation. Motors are also externally mounted for easy maintenance.
Vibratory Shaft Housing – The drive assembly consists of the main working parts enclosed in a steel cast housing, which can be removed as a single unit.
Screen Support – Due to sturdy construction and by utilizing a secondary member to support the screen, screen life is much longer than most comparable centrifuges.
Machine Isolation – Large, rubber isolators prevent vibrations from being transmitted to the supporting structure. CMI’s isolators are also extremely durable and require no air or continuous attention.
Continuous Lubrication – A direct-drive gear pump in each CMI VC Model circulates oil to all internal bearings and a pressure cut-off switch detects any oil pump failure.
Accelerating Wear Plate – Material bring processed is accelerated up to peripheral speed before reaching the separating screen, allowing for even screen wear without premature failure found in the small end of horizontal designs.
All wear parts are easily accessible without requiring special lifting devices.
The CMI Model VC Vibratory Centrifuge requires the lowest maintenance and attention of any comparable centrifuge.
Due to their unique design, these centrifuges have achieved some of the lowest possible moistures and offer exceptional cost-per-ton to our customers. Many industries have discovered the versatility and benefits of the CMI Model VC Centrifuges, which are used in potash, coking, limestone and in various sands applications.
The CMI Model VC Vibratory Centrifuge is available in 48”, 50” and 56” configurations and all models can be configured for refuse dewatering applications, or for highly corrosive environments. The new CMI Model VC-50 incorporates design changes aimed at reducing maintenance costs, while increasing machine capacity. The VC-50 utilizes a unique self-supporting screen design, which takes the place of three wear parts on the 48” and 56” models. In addition, the 48” model can be converted to the 50” design. Our Model VC-56 is the largest vertical centrifuge in the world!

Material Flow - CMI Model VC Vibratory Centrifuge
Material to be processed enters the top of the machine through a hopper, which distributes it evenly over the bottom of the rotating basket. Feed slurry is then gently accelerated to the peripheral speed of the screen by frictional force of the wear plate and previously accelerated material.
After acceleration, the solids are conveyed up the screen by vibratory action. As the material moves up the screen, centrifugal force removes liquids through the screen while carrying the solids up to the discharge area. Vibratory agitation and bed looseness enhance solid-liquid separation during the material's brief stay in the centrifuge.
Liquids are gathered in the launder and discharged through effluent openings. Solids being discharged from the top of the screen are slowed by contacting retained solids in the lid and fall to the bottom of the unit for removal.
