A cleaning in place system for a centrifugal separator and a method of cleaning a centrifugal separator are disclosed. The centrifugal separator includes a rotor having a separation space, a separator inlet and a first separator outlet. The first separator outlet includes an outlet pump configured to provide a flow of fluid from the first separator outlet. The cleaning in place system further includes a container for cleaning fluid, a cleaning fluid pump for providing cleaning fluid from the container to the separator inlet, such as an eductor. The cleaning in place system is configured to receive a flow of fluid from the first separator outlet and that the cleaning fluid pump is configured to pump cleaning fluid from the container to the separator inlet by means of the received flow of fluid.

A centrifugal separator is provided with a stationary casing defining an enclosure. A rotor is rotatably mounted in the enclosure and has a drum body, a base separably connected to the drum body, and a cover separably connected to the drum body opposite the base. A first annular sealing element is disposed between the drum body and the base. A second annular sealing element is disposed between the drum body and the cover. A removable liner is disposed inside the drum body. The removable liner and at least one of the first and second annular sealing elements are formed together as a one-piece element comprised of a resilient material.

A centrifugal dryer includes a housing and a basket positioned within the housing. The basket defines an opening formed laterally there through. The basket rotates around a central longitudinal axis through the housing. An annulus is formed between the basket and the housing. A cleaning device is positioned within the annulus, and the cleaning device introduces a liquid into the annulus. A scraping device is positioned within the annulus, and the scraping device rotates to remove cuttings from at least one surface.

Technologies are provided for automated extraction of a substance from a tube. The technologies comprise a system that includes an aseptic extraction chamber and a transfer arm configured to position an ultracentrifuge (UC) tube within the aseptic extraction chamber. The UC tube contains a liquid solution that has particulate matter embedded therein, where the particulate matter forms multiple layers. The system also includes an extractor arm configured to extract a particular layer of the multiple layers.

A centrifugal filter unit for an apparatus for use in the treatment of a substrate with a treatment formulation is provided. The centrifugal filter unit includes a) a housing having an outlet; b) an inlet; c) a filter rotatably mounted in the housing and having a side wall with perforations that allow liquid to pass through but prevent solid material from passing through; d) an aperture; and e) a drive for rotating the filter. A portion of the centrifugal filter unit in the filter chamber is removable and, when removed from the centrifugal filter unit following operation, takes with it at least a portion of the solid material prevented from passing through the perforations. The centrifugal filter unit is arranged such that the feed is drawn into the filter from the inlet through the aperture and the liquid is expelled through the perforations to the outlet and the solid material is retained in the filter. The removable portion is shaped to scrape against the side wall during removal.

A centrifuge able to discharge moisture through a separate moisture outlet by separating moisture from oil when spraying oil through a nozzle of a rotor, thereby removing moisture from oil without using a separate skimmer, and a purifier system including the same. The centrifuge includes a casing, a shat, a stand tube and a rotor. The casing has an oil inlet, an oil outlet, a moisture outlet and an air inlet. Moisture separated from oil sprayed through a nozzle of the rotor is discharged along with air out of the casing through the moisture outlet. An amount of air identical to the amount of the air discharged through the moisture outlet is introduced into the casing through the air inlet.
