Centrifuges are available in a wide range of sizes and configurations, each designed for specific applications. Understanding the key differences between laboratory centrifuges and industrial centrifuges is essential for selecting the right equipment for your needs. In this article, we break down the main distinctions and explore their respective applications.


Laboratory centrifuges are compact, designed for small-volume sample separation (typically milliliters to liters) in research and clinical settings. They offer precise speed and temperature control, making them ideal for applications such as DNA extraction, blood separation, and protein purification. Benchtop centrifuges and microcentrifuges are common types of laboratory centrifuges, known for their user-friendliness and versatility.


Industrial centrifuges, on the other hand, are larger, more robust machines designed for high-volume separation (typically liters to cubic meters) in industrial processes. They are used in wastewater treatment, oil and gas, chemical manufacturing, and food processing, where efficiency and durability are critical. Industrial centrifuges include decanter centrifuges, disc stack centrifuges, and basket centrifuges, each optimized for specific separation tasks such as solid-liquid separation, liquid-liquid separation, and sludge dewatering.


Membrane separation technology is a kind of technology that uses a selectively permeable membrane as the separation medium. By applying a certain driving force (such as pressure difference, concentration difference, etc.) on both sides of the membrane, the components on the feed side can selectively permeate through the membrane, so as to achieve the purposes of separation, purification, concentration and so on.
Nowadays, more and more enterprises have keenly perceived the remarkable advantages brought by membrane technology and are actively adopting this technology to boost their own development.

In the food and beverage industry, enterprises utilize membrane technology for operations such as juice concentration and protein purification. This not only effectively preserves the flavor and nutritional components of products but also enhances product quality and extends the shelf life.

In the chemical industry, membrane technology can be applied to the recovery and separation of solvents. It improves the utilization rate of raw materials, reduces production costs, and at the same time, decreases pollutant emissions, enabling green production.

In the water treatment industry, membrane technology plays an irreplaceable role. From the in-depth treatment of industrial wastewater to the purification of drinking water, by removing impurities, heavy metal ions, and microorganisms in water, it provides enterprises with high-quality production water and effluent that meets the standards.

In the biopharmaceutical industry, membrane separation technology can accurately separate and purify biological products, ensuring the activity and purity of products and facilitating the smooth progress of new drug research and development as well as production.

It can be said that membrane technology is gradually becoming an important means for enterprises to enhance their competitiveness and achieve sustainable development.
