A decanter centrifuge that carries out solid-liquid separation by centrifugal force on an object to be processed that is fed into a rotating bowl and designed from a solid and a saturated solution wherein that solid is dissolved, and discharges solid phase components from a solid discharge opening and discharges liquid phase components from a solvent discharge opening thereof by rotationally operating a screw conveyor disposed within the rotating bowl, said decanter centrifuge being provided with a dilution solvent supply unit for supplying, during centrifuging of the object to be processed, dilution solvent that reduces the concentration of the saturated solution to a discharge path, which is a discharge path for saturated solution moving within the rotating bowl, and which is designed closer to the solvent discharge opening side—than a chamber for supplying the object to be processed.

In a cell washing centrifuge for washing living cells such as blood cells, control of the remaining amount of a supernatant according to the related art greatly depends on controlling the rotation speed of a motor, and thus a highly accurate motor control part is required to prevent overshooting or the like. In place of the related art, an easy control method is required. In the discharging of a supernatant discharge by a centrifuge having a plurality of test tube holders that can radially swing through centrifugal force, a holding part using an electromagnet that can control the swinging of the test tube holders, and a cleaning liquid distribution element that supplies a cleaning liquid into a test tube, a first decanting operation ({circle around (3)}-1) is performed by rotating a rotor in the order of acceleration, settling, and deceleration in a state in which the agitating angle of the test tube is restricted and discharging the supernatant of the cleaning liquid from the test tube, and a second decanting operation ({circle around (3)}-2) is performed, at a time of a final decanting operation, by accelerating the rotor, releasing restriction on the agitating angle during the acceleration, and then decelerating the rotor.

A blood washing system (20) having a rotor (22) defining an internal chamber for receiving a multi-component fluid and a skimmer assembly (24) including a moveable buoy (28) having an orifice (32) fluidly connected to an access port for the rotor for selectively withdrawing separated fractions of the multi-component fluid. The multi-component fluid can be fed into the internal chamber before the rotor (22) can be rotated at a first speed to fractionate the multi-component fluid. A brake can be applied to the rotor to slow rotation of the rotor to a slower second speed or stop rotation of the rotor causing the solid and denser fluid fractions to settle on the bottom wall (44) of the rotor (22). The buoy (28) can have a specific gravity corresponding to a selected fraction such that the buoy floats on a surface of the selected fraction, wherein the fractions floating on the selected fraction can be withdrawn through the orifice (32).

A pressurizing centrifugal dehydrator for removing moisture according to the present disclosure includes: an inner basket into which slurry is introduced; an outer basket surrounding the inner basket; a blocking barrier disposed in the outer basket; and a gas supplying portion for supplying gas into the inner basket and/or the outer basket, wherein a dehydration product is positioned between an outer circumference of the blocking barrier and an inner side of the outer basket to maintain airtightness of the outer basket.

A centrifuge basket includes a frustum-shaped hollow body defining a pair of opposed ends, being a larger end and a smaller end. The body defines an internal screening surface extending between the ends, the screening surface defining a plurality of apertures arranged to drain liquid from within the body. A plurality of ribs project into an interior of the body from the screening surface, the ribs being arranged in a plurality of annular arrays. The arrays are spaced axially along the screening surface and the ribs of at least one of the arrays are arranged transversely, at a defined included angle, relative to a generatrix line that forms a shape of the screening surface.
