Yingtai Centrifuge: The "Efficient Sorting Expert" in Separation Technology

As a core equipment that uses centrifugal force to achieve material separation, the centrifuge can quickly separate suspended particles in liquids and liquid mixtures with different densities by virtue of the centrifugal field generated by high-speed rotation. It is widely used in biopharmaceuticals, food processing, environmental water treatment and other fields. For example, it separates bacterial cells in vaccine production and removes pomace in juice processing, making it a key equipment to improve production efficiency.

Different scenarios require matching centrifuge types. Desktop high-speed centrifuges are commonly used in laboratories, with a rotation speed generally between 10,000 and 20,000 rpm, suitable for small-batch sample separation; horizontal spiral decanter centrifuges are mostly used in industrial production, with a processing capacity of tens of cubic meters per hour, which can continuously separate solid-liquid mixtures; ultra-high-speed centrifuges have a rotation speed exceeding 100,000 rpm, mainly used for the purification of biological macromolecules (such as proteins and nucleic acids). During operation, it is necessary to balance the sample weight first and ensure that the rotors are placed symmetrically to avoid equipment vibration caused by center of gravity deviation; after starting, the rotation speed should be increased slowly, and the operation status should be continuously monitored after reaching the set value; when stopping, wait for the rotor to completely stop before opening the cover to take materials to prevent safety accidents.

Daily maintenance is crucial to extend the service life of the centrifuge. After each use, clean the rotor and cavity to remove residual samples and avoid equipment corrosion; check the rotor for cracks and wear every week, and stop using it immediately if abnormalities are found; lubricate the spindle bearing every month to ensure smooth rotation; calibrate the speed and temperature control system every quarter to ensure stable separation effect. In addition, the rotor should be replaced regularly according to the number of uses or service life to avoid safety hazards caused by fatigue and aging.

Compared with traditional separation methods such as filtration and precipitation, the centrifuge has the advantages of high separation efficiency, high purity and high degree of automation. With the improvement of industry requirements for separation accuracy, centrifuges with intelligent touch control, automatic fault diagnosis and data networking functions have become an important choice for various industries to optimize production processes and improve product quality.
