You Ask We Answer
What Are The Utility Requirements & Specifications Necessary For Centrifuges Such As Steam, Water & Compressed Air?
The requirements for running centrifuge machines are:
- Steam Supply: ¾” NPT Saturated Steam @ 15 PSI.
- Water Supply: ¾” NPT 5 GPM @ 50 PSI 150 TO 210 degree F.
- Electrical: Varies by machine size
- Air Supply: ¼” NPT 80 PSI.
What Do I Do If My Machine Goes Down After Hours?
We are proud to offer 24/7 emergency service for our customers.
Explain The Difference Between Using Oil Or Grease In The Bearings - Which One Is Preferable & Why?
Oil continuously supplies lubrication to the bearings keeping them cool and providing longer life. Grease is thicker & tends to have higher maintenance requirements than oil does.
Do You Have Centrifuge Machines Available For Rent?
Yes! Our most commonly used rental unit for testing is our STM-2000. We also rent our SLC-5000 and CLC 5000 for smaller scale projects.
What Is The Difference Between A Centrifuge & A Centrifugal?
As far as our machines go, absolutely nothing! Depending on the area of the world you are, or the industry you are in, you will likely hear these machines being referenced as either. Grammatically, centrifugal is the force or action the centrifuge produces.

How Long Has Western States Been In The Cannabis/Hemp Space?
We dipped our toe in the water as early as 2017, however, once our WSB-40 centrifuge was designed in 2019 we saw a large demand for our product in this industry. We have not only expanded our product line but have now begun working with companies
internationally.
