Centrifugal equipment is a device that uses centrifugal force to achieve functions such as material separation, concentration, and purification. Its main functions and applications are as follows:

Function 

Separation of substances of different densities: When the centrifugal equipment is running, it will generate a strong centrifugal force, so that the components of different densities in the mixture are distributed radially under the action of centrifugal force, thereby achieving separation.

Accelerate the sedimentation process: For some fine particles that are difficult to precipitate naturally or substances with low solubility, centrifugal force can accelerate their sedimentation speed and achieve solid-liquid separation.

Concentration and purification: Through centrifugation, the target substance is enriched in a specific area to achieve concentration; at the same time, impurities are separated to achieve the purpose of purification.

Application

Biomedical field: In the separation of blood components, red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma in the blood can be separated for clinical diagnosis, treatment and preparation of blood products; it can also be used for cell culture, virus separation, protein purification, etc.

Chemical industry: used to separate solid particles and liquids in suspensions, such as the production of barium sulfate, calcium carbonate and other products; in petroleum refining, crude oil is dehydrated and desalted to improve the quality of oil products.

Food industry: used for milk fat separation, production of cream and skim milk; it can also clarify juice, remove impurities such as pulp and pectin, and improve the transparency and stability of juice.

Environmental protection: in sewage treatment, centrifugal equipment is used to separate water from sludge, dehydrate and reduce the volume of sludge, which is convenient for subsequent treatment and disposal; it can also be used for industrial wastewater treatment to separate heavy metal ions, suspended particles and other pollutants in wastewater.

Laboratory research: in the research of chemistry, biology, pharmacy and other disciplines, it is often used for sample pretreatment, component analysis and separation and purification of substances. For example, in DNA extraction experiments, centrifuges are used to separate DNA from other cell components.
