INDUSTRIAL CENTRIFUGES

A centrifuge is a machine that uses rotational force (centrifugal force) to separate components of a mixture based on their density. Centrifuges are widely used in laboratory, industrial, and commercial applications for separating different substances from liquids or solids.

A centrifuge operates by spinning a sample at high speed, which causes the denser components to move toward the outside of the container (bottom of the tube or rotor), while the less dense components remain closer to the center. The force generated during rotation increases the settling rate of particles in the mixture, thus enabling separation.
