Disc centrifuge is widely used in medical industry

Disc centrifuges, of various sizes, are suitable for many different applications, making them a very useful tool, whether in a doctor's office, a hospital environment, or a laboratory.

Disc centrifuges are basically compact, making one of plastic or metal, and visually attractive, they usually sit on top of the counter with rubber feet so they don't move, but are in operation. The bottom can be weighted to make it stable while in use. The size will determine how many glass tubes or vials can be held once. They are controlled by a timer and have at least two speeds, low and high. Many people also have the ability to keep the room cool, so when the equipment works properly, especially at high speeds, its contents will continue to heat up, rather than the usual practice, when centrifugal force acts, the applied cooling occurs.

There's a medical centrifuge that includes many medical applications to study viruses, proteins, polymers, nucleic acids, and blood. They can be isolated from serum as well as from plasma, from liquid solids. There are many uses, not just in the medical field alone.

There is a timer for easy use when extended, including the time required for separation of components. High speed rotation produces artificial gravity that, depending on the material, will separate components quickly or slowly.

While the average medical cost of centrifuges can range from hundreds of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars at any time, there is an efficient device instance created by a chemist at a university that costs just two dollars. The device is basically an old-fashioned eggbeater with plastic pipe holding tape. This is to create a low-speed centrifuge that actually separates blood cells from plasma, and proves to be useful in simple laboratory tests without laboratory or equipment. It proves that many miracles of human intelligence can work.

Disc separator is a kind of vertical centrifuge. The drum is installed on the upper end of the vertical shaft and is driven by the motor through the transmission device to rotate at high speed. Inside the drum there is a set of disc-shaped parts which are overlapped with each other. There is a small gap between the discs. The suspension (or emulsion) is fed into the drum by a feed tube located in the center of the drum. When the suspension (or emulsion) flows through the gap between the discs, the solid particles (or droplets) settle on the disc under the action of the centrifuge to form sediment (or liquid layer). The sediment slides along the surface of the disc and separates from the disc and accumulates in the part with large diameter in the drum. The separated liquid is discharged from the drum through the liquid outlet. The role of the disc is to shorten the settling interval of solid particles (or droplets) and expand the settling area of the drum. The production capacity of the separator is greatly improved due to the installation of discs in the drum.
