To carry out an adequate verification and ensure safety and efficiency in the centrifugation process, the following points are key:
Manufacturing standards: The first checkpoint is to make sure that the centrifuge complies with the international standards for the manufacture of centrifuges, such as EN 61010-1, EN 61010-2-010 and EN 61010-2-020, which guarantee conformity with modern safety requirements.
Brushless motor: Verify if the centrifuge employs a brushless motor, which reduces the risk of explosions and improves operational safety.
Lid lock system: Make sure that the centrifuge lid cannot be opened during centrifugation and the unit cannot start until it is fully closed.
Calibration: Check that the centrifuge has undergone recent calibration.
Unbalance system: Verify the presence and functioning of imbalance detection and control systems.
Insulation: Ensure that the centrifuge has optimal thermal insulation.
Accessories: Verify that the equipment has accessories that reduce aerosol production according to ASTM standards.
If the result of any of these actions is not positive, contact your centrifuge provider.
At Orto Alresa, we offer a complete range of next generation centrifuges for all applications, including Biological, Petroleum, Oil, Lubricant, Fuel and Biodiesel Applications. We have also developed a Gas Release system (GRS) to improve laboratory safety.
By implementing the GRS accessory, a safer and more controlled work environment is guaranteed during centrifugation processes, complying with the safety standards required in the handling of solvents and aerosols in the laboratory setting.
