A method for thermally disinfecting a centrifuge to reduce the quantity of germs therein, the centrifuge having a rotatable drum and being used for centrifugally processing a product, involves reducing the quantity of germs using vapor that is not pressurized or which is at atmospheric pressure.

A system is provided that includes a controller in a control cabinet, a touch screen having a plurality of control icons, a controlled device, and a single safety sensor. The controlled device is a continuous flow centrifugation system. The controller prevents operation of the controlled device without simultaneous contact by a user of both the single safety sensor and a respective one of the plurality of control icons.

A centrifuge separator device for use in mining gold ore receives bulk quantities of gold bearing materials through a port in a central vertical pipe, diverting the materials through a series of rotating baffles into a multi-tiered bowl, with a variable speed bowl drive system turning the bowl and the baffles at a selected speed while framework, including a channeled bin, gussets and a plurality of blades extending a plurality of upper and lower cutters, remains stationary, forcing the materials to separate by density, forcing the lighter materials up and over the rotating bowl into a channeled bin for further disposal through an exit port in the channeled bin, leaving the heavier gold bearing ores in the lower part of the bowl for collection and further classification.

A two-vector centrifuge rotates on a central axis, while each centrifuge drum also rotates on the drum's own axis. The inside of each drum has flighting or threads to direct and force material to the bottom of the drum as the two-vector centrifuge rotates. Perforations in the top part of the drum allow liquids to be expelled from the drum, while dried, solid material is ejected though a gap in the bottom of the drum. A pair of troughs keep the ejected liquid fraction separate from the ejected solid fraction, and each fraction is removed from the centrifuge while the centrifuge is operating, allowing the centrifuge to run for extended periods without needing to be cleaned or have accumulated material removed.
