What Is Centrifuge Separation Factor? Key Parameter for Separation Efficiency

When purchasing a centrifuge, sales teams often mention "separation factor"—this key parameter deserves your full attention! 

The separation factor (F) is the ratio of centrifugal force to gravity, directly determining separation effectiveness: the larger the F value, the stronger the centrifugal force and the better the separation of fine particles. 

Different applications require specific F values: Chemical wastewater treatment needs F=1000-3000 to ensure heavy metal precipitation separation; Food clarification requires F=3000-5000 to remove tiny impurities;

 Biological agent separation demands F=5000-15000 for virus and microorganism separation. 

Note: A higher F value isn’t always better—excessively high values can damage material activity (e.g., proteins). Selection must align with actual working conditions. Choosing the right separation factor doubles separation efficiency. #CentrifugeParameters #SeparationFactor #CentrifugeEfficiency #ProfessionalKnowledge
