A self-balancing mechanism for a centrifuge for the papermaking industry includes: a flange; a torus coupled to the flange; and a set of free bodies disposed within the torus. In response to a slurry being introduced into a perforated cylinder of a rotor of the centrifuge, each free body of the set of free bodies is configured to move within the torus in response to a rotational unbalance of the rotor to which the self-balancing mechanism is coupled caused by introducing the slurry.

The invention relates to a flow-through centrifuge which is used, for example, for biotechnical applications, in particular as a blood centrifuge. A driving arrangement and/or transmission arrangement of the flow-through centrifuge comprises a planetary gearset. In the planetary gearset, at least one planetary belt pulley is rotatably supported on a rotating planet carrier. A torque of the planetary belt pulley is transmitted via a belt. The planet carrier and the planetary belt pulley are driven at different rotational speeds. According to the invention, the planet carrier is held by a belt tensioning unit rotating with the planet carrier. A distance of the planet carrier from a rotor axis can be changed via the belt tensioning unit in order to adjust the belt tension of the belt.

An automatic balancing system for a centrifuge designed to maintain stability and minimize vibration during rotation. The system incorporates a central rotor with radially aligned linear actuators to adaptively counterbalance variations in fluid volume and weight distribution within cell processing cassettes (CPCs). It features accelerometers and position sensors for real-time monitoring and adjustment, with a user interface enabling automated or manual optimization of counterbalance weights. Additional innovations include radar-based fluid-level sensing for precise weight estimations, advanced optical detection systems for monitoring cell sedimentation, and a centrifuge control module to adjust rotational speed based on cell density feedback. The system also includes a temperature regulation mechanism, locking actuators, and multi-spectral imaging capabilities for enhanced processing accuracy. This comprehensive platform ensures precise, efficient, and contamination-free operations for automated cell processing applications, including gene therapy and therapeutic cell production.

In an automatic centrifuge, by changing an initial loading bucket position of a rack automatically conveyed over for each centrifugal separation operation, a load on each bucket is equalized. In an automatic centrifuge including a handling apparatus that automatically performs mounting and removal of racks loaded with specimen accommodating containers into and from buckets, a control device changes an initial bucket to load the rack depending on whether the centrifugal separation operation is a centrifugal separation operation of an odd-numbered time or an even-numbered time. During a centrifugal separation operation of an odd-numbered time, loading of the racks starts from circled 1 of a bucket A. During a centrifugal separation operation of an even-numbered time, loading of the racks starts from circled 3 of a bucket B.
