Stainless steel machined nut and a machined flat shoulder for it to snug down to. Not only does it improve the bowls balance but it also makes the bowl easier to remove. Beginning 06/26/07 all bowls will ship with this hub configuration.
|
Image of our new three hole drain design. The three holes provide improved balance and draining.
|
This is our newest rotor design. Note the new radiused inside corners. It make cleaning a bowl even easier.
|
|
|
|
Cut-away of the rotor shows the new radiused corners. This rotor is half off, you choose which half you'd like.
|
Added 0.25" sling lip to the bottom of the bowl.
|
Shaft cover. This protects the trantorque.
|
|
|
|
This is the shaft cone installed.
|
We just added a drip lip to the lid.
|
The o-ring groove on the top has been redesigned using the proper gland design for the viton o-ring we use. This design is good for 2100 psi.
|
|
|
|
This is the redesigned o-ring groove with the o-ring in place. Notice the added width, this allows the o-ring to squish the proper amount and make a good seal. It also makes removing and cleaning the o-ring and groove a snap.
|
New forsheda seal design.

|
New two part rotor. This rotor holds a half gallon. It also includes a feed cone that forces all the incoming oil into the outside wall of the rotor, subjecting all incoming material to the maximum g-force.
|
New lid design to accommodate the feed cone.
|
This shows the feed cone and feed tubes.
|
|
|
|
New base for the feed cone. Increased the trantorque clearance by 0.05" to prevent interference and/or loosening of the trantorque during dis-assembly. Increased thread depth and thickened the cone top. Old version on the left, new version on the right.
|
Changed the mount to a fast taper.
|
Fast taper is machined from stainless steel. This is the taper installed in the rotor.
|
|
|
|
This is the taper installed on the motor shaft.
|
The new mount allowed us to raise the inner shoulder a lot.
|
This is the seal installed.

This is the taper installed.
|
This is the re-designed bottom of the rotor. The o-ring has also been increased to a thicker version.
|
Modified the feed cone mounting to accommodate the new design.
|
|
|
|
We've eliminated the tubes from the feed cone. The bottom has been replaced with an angled plate that forces all the incoming material to the bottom of the rotor near the outside edge. The oil then must rise 4 inches before it exits.
|
This is the bottom view of the re-designed feed cone. The incoming oil passes through the slots and is forces along the angled plate to the outside edge of the rotor.
