ABSTRACT:
A wobble centrifuge has a housing in which a tube shaft is rotatable about a first axis, this tube shaft having a lower tube part centered on the first axis and an upper tube part centered on a second axis that crosses the first axis at an intersection. An at least partially flexible core shaft has a lower core part rotatable in the lower tube part about the first axis and an upper core part rotatable in the upper tube part about the second axis. A downwardly flared sieve drum is carried on the upper core part and is centered generally on the second axis, this sieve drum having a wall tapered upwardly from a lower edge spaced below the intersection in a direction parallel to the second axis by a predetermined distance. A suspension to be centrifuged is introduced into the drum generally radially of the axes at a location spaced above the intersection in a direction parallel to the second axis by a spacing equal to substantially more than the spacing between the lower end of the drum and the intersection. The tube shaft is rotated about the first axis and the core shaft parts about the respective axes for advancing the solid phase of the suspension being centrifuged down inside the drum from the introduction location toward the lower edge. The center of gravity of the drum lies offset from this intersection, but imbalance is corrected by providing at least one counterweight on the tube shaft.
