Industrial Centrifugal Dryer: Models and Specifications
Inovatec centrifugal dryers remove excess rinse water by spinning parts in a perforated basket. A heated-air configuration can assist with the remaining surface moisture. Select the machine around the part geometry, batch load, handling method, and drying requirement.
The original specifications below list SK400B and SK500B. Basket rotation speed and motor speed are separate values. The working-capacity entries also refer to load mass and basket filling; confirm both limits for the selected model and workpiece before establishing the batch size.
| Model | Dimension of basket | Volume of basket | Working capacity | Working temperature | Rotation speed | Motor | Heating | Motor speed | Dimension | Weight |
| (mm) | (m3) | ℃ | (rpm) | (kw) | (kw) | (rpm) | (mm) | (kg) | ||
| SK400B | Φ380×280 | 0.035 | 35kg or 1/3 of capacity | 50-80 | 552 | 0.75 | 1.8 | 1430 | 780x600x750 | 161 |
| SK500B | Φ480×280 | 0.075 | 75kg or 1/3 (height of a basket) | 50-80 | 300 | 1.5 | 3.0 | 1430 | 1000x800x860 | 242 |
Confirm the current model specification, electrical supply, basket perforation, heater arrangement, controls, and installation drawing in the quotation. Drying time and the accepted surface condition are established with representative parts.

Centrifugal Spin Drying After Wet Finishing
An industrial spin dryer removes excess water after rinsing or wet mass finishing. The rotating basket expels free liquid, while heated airflow in the selected configuration helps remove remaining moisture. Clean parts and an effective rinse support a consistent drying result.
Choose the basket size and working load around the actual parts. Small components need suitable basket perforations; nested, interlocking, or delicate parts need a handling trial. Inspect the surface, recesses, and dimensions after drying before approving the production cycle.
The range described on this page includes stainless steel baskets and exteriors, a lower liquid collection outlet, a lid interlock, and soft start. Variable-speed control and a process timer are listed options. Ask Inovatec to confirm the equipment included in your selected model.
Send the part drawing or samples, material, batch quantity, upstream process, allowable temperature, and required dryness. Inovatec can review the dryer configuration and sample evaluation with you. Agree the acceptance criteria, cycle, and commercial terms in the quotation.

1. What is an industrial spin dryer?
It is a batch dryer that rotates a basket to remove free liquid from suitable industrial parts. Heated airflow can assist with residual moisture where included in the machine. Typical evaluation follows a wet finishing, cleaning, or rinsing stage. Match the basket, load, speed, and temperature to the workpiece.
2. How does it differ from household or hand dryers?
This equipment is designed around industrial components, a rotating basket, drainage, and the specified working load. A hand dryer directs air onto hands, while domestic equipment has different handling and operating requirements. Assess this machine using the industrial part and process specification.
3. What are the main components?
The described arrangement includes a perforated basket, chamber, drive, lid, liquid collection outlet, and controls. The selected heated-air version also includes the heater and fan arrangement. Check the model drawing and equipment list for the actual construction, control functions, and loading method.
4. How does centrifugal drying work?
Rotation drives free rinse water outward through the basket perforations into the collection area. Airflow and heat, where provided, assist with moisture that remains on surfaces or in accessible features. Use the approved speed, temperature, and cycle for the load, then inspect the parts and any recesses for retained moisture.
5. Which applications should be evaluated?
Suitable metal and plastic production parts can be assessed after wet finishing or cleaning. Examples shown on this page include electroplating and mass-finishing workshops. Check heat tolerance, coatings, thin sections, nested parts, and impact sensitivity. Food, pharmaceutical, sludge, and laundry duties require separately specified equipment and are outside the parts-drying scope described here.
6. What can drying achieve?
Removing residual rinse water prepares suitable parts for the next handling or manufacturing step. Surface condition also depends on upstream cleaning, rinse quality, part geometry, temperature, and subsequent storage. Inspect dryness, spotting, marking, and cleanliness against the agreed requirements. Heavy contamination and coating removal need an appropriate upstream process.
7. How should I select the dryer and settings?
Provide the part material, dimensions, weight, batch quantity, liquid carryover, acceptable temperature, and required cycle. Review basket dimensions, permitted fill and mass, part retention, drainage, loading access, power supply, and controls. The table lists basket speeds of 552 rpm for SK400B and 300 rpm for SK500B; use the selected model specification rather than a universal speed threshold.
The original text gives different basket perforations and heater locations. Request the actual basket opening and heater arrangement for the quoted model. Validate settings and surface quality with representative parts, and include loading, unloading, and inspection in the throughput estimate.
8. What maintenance and operating checks are needed?
Follow the supplied operating and maintenance manual. Check the basket, closure, interlock, drainage, drive, and controls at the specified intervals. Load and distribute parts within the approved limits. Stop and investigate abnormal vibration, noise, leakage, or damage. Isolate the machine before maintenance and use the prescribed replacement parts and lubrication.
