ABSTRACT:
A centrifugal separator for fluids, e.g. blood, comprised of components or ingredients having different specific gravities, in which a container is mounted on a rotor rotatable about the vertical axis thereof and being rotatable about its horizontal axis independently of the rotor and, as the rotor is rotated, the container revolves about the vertical axis of the rotor and also rotates about its own horizontal axis simultaneously, so that a resultant centrifugal force of vertical and horizontal centrifugal forces acts on a liquid contained in a bag or bottle installed in the container. A flexible fluid communication conduit has its one end connected to the bag in the container, and it extends along the horizontal axis to a chamber defined by the rotor, where it is bent so as to then extend along the vertical axis. Thus, the conduit can guide the fluid flow without being completely twisted by the rotating rotor and the container revolving and rotating therewith.
