HOW THE SUPER-CENTRIFUGE OPERATES
This sectional view of a super-Centrifuge shows the application of centrifugal force to separate a mixture of two immiscible liquids that may contain fine suspended solids, in small quantities, heavier than either liquid.
The mixture enters the Super-Centrifuge through an inlet at the base of the machine, and is introduced into the hollow cylindrical rotor which has two sets of openings at the top to allow discharge of the separated liquids. The rotor turns at 15,000 r.p.m. oг higher, and generates a centrifugal force in excess of 13,000 times the force of gravity.This force separates the two liquids according to their specific gravities into concentric cylindrical layers. The lighter liquid is nearer the centre of the rotor and the heavier liquid forms the outside layer. At the same time th solids are deposited against the rotor wall.
The operation of the Super-Centrifuge is continuous, with the separated liquids being continuously displaced upwards by the incoming mixture, and discharged through their respective outlet ports at the top of the rotor. The layer of accumulated solids that builds up on the rotor wall is cleaned out when the centrifuge is shut down.
The flow from the covers is generally by gravity. A rotor designed to separate two liquids continuously, is known as a "separator".
For removal of fine solids from a liquid a "clarifier" bowl is provided, for polishing the liquid.

Tubular Centrifuges are high-speed separation devices used for the continuous separation of immiscible liquids or the clarification of liquids containing fine suspended solids. These centrifuges are designed to handle small to medium batch sizes and are widely utilized in various industries for their efficiency and reliability in separating complex mixtures. The core of a Tubular Centrifuge is a high-speed rotating bowl, which creates a strong centrifugal force to separate substances based on their densities.
The design of Tubular Centrifuges typically includes a tubular bowl made from high-quality materials such as SS (Stainless Steel) to ensure durability and resistance to corrosion. The centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation of the bowl causes the denser components to move outward to the bowl wall, while the lighter components remain closer to the center. This efficient separation process results in high-purity outputs, making Tubular Centrifuges essential for applications requiring precise separation and clarification.
Tubular Centrifuges are equipped with advanced features to optimize performance and ensure user safety. They are designed to operate at high speeds, achieving rapid separation and processing rates. The compact design of these centrifuges allows for easy integration into existing production lines, and their robust construction ensures long-term reliability. Additionally, Tubular Centrifuges are designed for easy maintenance, with accessible components and straightforward cleaning procedures.
Tubular Centrifuges provide an effective and reliable solution for a wide range of industrial separation and clarification needs, ensuring high-quality outputs and efficient processing.
