Centrifugal effect

…Centrifugal separators can process large volumes of material in a small amount of floor space, and because of their airtight protection against volatile and flammable substances, and because they can automate the discharge and cleaning of separated solids, they have come to be used not only for industrial purposes but also for sewage and wastewater treatment. One of the performance characteristics of a centrifuge is the strength of the centrifugal force, which is usually expressed as a multiple of gravity instead of the rotation speed (industrial use is several hundred to tens of thousands of rpm), and this is called the centrifugal effect. There are continuous types that continuously supply the treatment liquid, and batch types that treat a fixed amount at a time, and the magnitude of the centrifugal effect also varies widely depending on the purpose and type. …

…遠心分離機は，小さい所要床面積で大量処理が可能のうえ，揮発性，引火性物質に対する密閉措置，分離した固体などの排出，洗浄などの自動化などによって，工業用はもちろん下水や排水の処理にも利用されるようになった。　遠心分離機の性能の一つは遠心力の強さで，ふつう回転速度(工業用は数百～数万rpm)の代りに重力の倍数で表し，これを遠心効果という。処理液を連続的に供給して行う連続式と，一定量ごとに処理を行う回分式とがあり，また目的，型式によっても遠心効果の大きさは広い範囲で異なる。…
