Just saw you can spend up to 20k. I would get two for 5k each and save the rest for a rainy day. Just remember you get what you negotiate for so don’t under ask or over spend.
Make sure they are jacketed and floodable and see if anyone here has experience with the company because once you take delivery. You’re on your own.
Seriously, what’s breaking? I’ve seen pandas push through tonnage without any issues. How much are you loading in it for each run?

Probably the cheap denatured ethanol vs food grade
i must have well over 1000lbs of thc biomass pushed through one of mine with denatured and its still chugging along. its taken a serious beating and now that i have new @RockSteady spouts they willl probably last for years now.

$5k for a floodable jacketed centrifuge? Do they work for more than 3 runs? Can you please point me in that direction? Why is every centrifuge on the market (many are half the size you suggest) listed at 50,000 plus?
I have looked at the Ace Spinner, starts at over $80K
USA labs has some as low as $20K and as high as $80K
Algae centrifuge start at something like $25k
Cederstone start at something like $45k
Some Chinese manufacturer/trader in my email starts at $10K
I understand that with companies such as the ACE spinner you are paying for more than just a piece of equipment, and in the end you get what you pay for. BUT $80k is still a lot of money that I do not have.
Where do I find a piece of equipment that will work at a reasonable price?

THANKS! I may be able to get as many as 5 runs out of this model!

Talk to Cema, lanphan, Ironman, Terry, and search alibaba. Not hard to find but you will need to use your skills to get the price you need. I am not yet in the market for an American sourced centrifuge but when I am will likely get from Falling Formulations when they offer one. They seem to understand pricing a bit better than the bigger players.
Just go to alibaba.com get the app, in the search field put jacketed centrifuge or cannabis centrifuge and you will see hundreds. Now getting them stateside may be another story but all the ones you pay a lot for here I believe started in China.
I see them on there. However I am inherently nervous about buying directly from china. I know that the Stateside companies that all buy from alibaba are really just selling their quality control checks and probably their consulting services. Is there truly any risk in buying from china? I can’t afford to buy the wrong piece.
Talk to Terry_Manager on this forum. See if you can reach a comfort level with him. I haven’t bought from him yet but he certainly posts a lot and says he personally takes care of all his customers.

Write to peony. They make the centrifuge that most vendors are reselling. And their after sale service with my clients has been very good.
Check here. Promotion for extraction centrifuge, short path distillation, rotovap, falling film evaporator and so on
Thank you for your support friend.
Now there is promotion for equipment on December of 2019.
if you want to knwo the price, pls see my post and DM me , then i will send discount price to you.
Thanks a million.
What price point is Peony selling their centrifuges for. Alibaba has a price range for every size. I don’t want to give them my direct contact info and get bombarded with their Anita’s, Linda’s, etc.
I don’t have it in front of me but i think the new model eq. size to cup 30 is like 8000. The old model was more like 5000
Well that is a pretty darn good price even if you have to redo the electrical controls. May not be $5000 from them but pretty close for OP’s purposes.
Just saw on Alibaba a company called West Tune Extraction with a double jacketed centrifuge with 50 liter 60 kg capacity. Says 20 kg batch size per extraction. Oh and price listed is $7850 with free shipping to US and 15 day turn around time. First double jacketed I have seen. I’ve been waiting for this. Constant condensate drip is not what I want in my building.
Also seems to me centrifuge pricing is overall dropping. I fully expect the pricing to fall with the fall in wholesale hemp pricing. So these things willl get really cheap. $1-2000 in my humble opinion.
