494031000 | INCLUDING PLURALITY OF SEPARATE AND DISTINCT BOWLS | 6 |
20130210598 | Multiple Modular In-Line Rotary Separator Bundle - Apparatus and methods for separating a higher-density component from a lower-density component of a mixed flow, with the apparatus including a pressurized casing with a plurality of rotary separators disposed in parallel therein. The casing includes a fluid entrance assembly, a fluid outlet assembly, and a drain. The rotary separators each include an inlet fluidly coupled with the inlet of the fluid entrance assembly, a discharge in communication with the fluid outlet assembly, and an outlet passage in communication with the drain. | 08-15-2013 |
20160121342 | SWING ROTOR FOR CENTRIFUGE AND CENTRIFUGE - Provided is a swing rotor for a centrifuge. The centrifuge includes a swing type rotor body having a plurality of holding pins and a plurality of buckets held by the holding pins in a swingable manner. On the rotor body, a connection part is formed to connect two branch arms that diverge from an arm part on an outer peripheral side. A thickness-reduced part penetrating in the same direction as a driving shaft is formed in a region surrounded by the two branch arms on an inner peripheral side of the connection part. Since the branch arms deform accordingly to a certain extent, partial concentration of the stress applied on the holding pins due to a centrifugal load can be alleviated. Thus, the lifespan of the centrifuge can be improved and the centrifugal separation operation can be stabilized. | 05-05-2016 |
494033000 | Having bowls equally spaced from a central axis of rotation for orbiting thereabout | 2 |
20090005231 | Method and apparatus for separating cooking oils from snack food products through a quasi-continuous centrifuge action - A centrifuge operative in successive low speed and high speed modes serves to remove surface cooking oil from a continuous stream of fragile snack food products wherein the oil removal occurs in the high speed mode and products are discharged from the centrifuge with relatively low kinetic energy in the low speed mode. | 01-01-2009 |
20120190527 | SWING ROTOR FOR CENTRIFUGAL SEPARATOR AND CENTRIFUGAL SEPARATOR - A swing rotor for a centrifugal separator, the swing rotor including: a hub; and a rotor body disposed around the hub, wherein a plurality of pairs of arms are disposed at the rotor body, wherein a holding pin configured to hold a bucket is disposed to the arm, wherein an engagement portion which is configured to be supported by the holding pin is formed to the bucket, and wherein a sliding surface of the holding pin with an engagement portion of the bucket is formed such that a width of a contact area, which is an area that the holding pin contacts with the engagement portion of the bucket, in an axial direction when the bucket does not swing differs from a width of the contact area in the axial direction when the bucket reaches a horizontal position by swinging during a centrifugal separation operation. | 07-26-2012 |
494034000 | Having bowls spaced along common axis of rotation | 2 |
20090291818 | Centrifugal device and method for fluid component separation - A rotor is provided for the centrifugal separation of a composite fluid, such as animal or human blood, into components. An inner surface of the rotor includes at least one hydrophobic area having a first surface energy sufficiently low to provide a flow path for a lower density fluid component to flow to the bottom of a central collection chamber after centrifugal separation. A method of separating a composite fluid into components using such a rotor is also provided. Additionally, a method of manufacturing such a rotor is provided. | 11-26-2009 |
20140066281 | BLOOD BAG SYSTEMS FOR SEPARATION OF WHOLE BLOOD AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF - The present disclosure relates generally to systems for processing a unit of whole blood into its components while the unit is still in the centrifuge. The system comprises a container holding whole blood and one or more satellite bags or containers that are installed into a holder, which is then inserted into a bucket of the centrifuge. Tubes interconnect the containers, one or more of which are preferably installed into clamping mechanisms resident in the holder. The holder further preferably includes sensing means, such as optical sensors, to sense the location of the interfaces between the separated layers of the whole blood that result from rotation of the centrifuge. | 03-06-2014 |
