Introduction to classification of centrifuges

Centrifuge is a commonly used equipment to separate solid from liquid by using centrifugal force generated by solid suspended matter under high-speed rotation. Centrifugal sedimentation separation process is complex, which is related to particle density, particle size distribution, concentration, solution characteristics and treatment technology. Relevant main parameters: centrifugal force, rotational speed, temperature, rotor capacity, etc.

According to the above parameters of centrifuges, the following categories can be made:

① According to rotational speed: low-speed centrifuges, high-speed centrifuges and ultra-speed centrifuges

② According to temperature: normal-temperature centrifuges and frozen centrifuges;

③ According to rotors: horizontal rotor centrifuge and angular rotor centrifuge

④ According to centrifuge size: floor centrifuge, desktop centrifuge, mini centrifuge, etc.

Of course, the above classifications can be crossed: for example, desktop high-speed freezing centrifuge and low-speed freezing centrifuge. . .
