This hand-operated portable centrifuge is just right for centrifuging small samples with ease! Simply attach the whirlybird centrifuge to a solid bench, place the sampling tubes in the centrifuge, and start cranking away! The whirlybird centrifuge is capable of spinning samples at a whopping 3,000 RPM! The faster you crank, the faster they spin!
The unit has a single speed, hand driven worm drive fitted with a ball-thrust race enclosed in a cast iron body. The outside of the unit is finished in a nice gray finish that cleans up quickly.
The buckets are capable of holding our 15 mL poly centrifuge tubes for easy sampling. A thumb screw on the bottom makes attaching it to nearly any solid surface a breeze.
We were extremely impressed with how simple the whirlybird is to set up and use and how effective it is at spinning out samples. In testing, we were able to easily separate water and Biodiesel and even create a mini soap layer in our test samples. With even more spinning we were able to reduce a mini emulsion that we'd created as well.
We think this is a great way to test Biodiesel for soap content, water content, seeing if it's done being washed, testing feedstock for water content, and many other uses. If you're in need of an easy way to spin out samples quickly & conveniently all with the power of a hand-crank, then be sure to pick one of these up! We absolutely love the cool sound it makes as the samples spin up and believe it would make a great addition to any producers equipment.
