The separation factor is the ratio of the centrifugal force acting on the mixed liquid in the centrifuge drum under the centrifugal force field to its gravitational force under the gravity field, i.e., the ratio of centrifugal acceleration to gravitational acceleration.
Separation Principle
Filtration Separation Principle
The liquid phase passes through the filter cloth and flows through the drum holes toward the casing space outside the inner drum, while the solid phase is retained inside the drum to form a cylindrical filter cake.
Sedimentation Separation Principle
Under continuous centrifugal force, the liquid and solid phases in the mixture gradually separate due to density differences. The solid phase forms a cylindrical layer on the inner wall of the drum, and the liquid phase accumulates on the outer side of the drum wall.
