  • Patent number: 9623347
    Abstract: Provided is a centrifuge that preferably performs processes such as dispersion of a material to be processed while enhancing convenience for users. A centrifuge 1 of the present invention includes an ultrasonic wave generation source 10 that generates ultrasonic waves and a storage container 20 that stores a material to be processed M. The centrifuge 1 of the present invention also includes a rotation mechanism 30. The rotation mechanism 30 rotates the storage container 20 around a rotation axis L tilted relative to a virtual line V extended in a vertical direction in such a manner that the ultrasonic waves from the ultrasonic wave generation source 10 are constantly applicable to the material to be processed M.

  • Patent number: 9044717
    Abstract: A centrifugal device capable of adjusting a temperature of a material. The centrifugal device applies centrifugal force on a contained material contained within a container by spinning the container while rotating the container. The centrifugal device includes: a rotating body rotating around a predetermined rotation axis line; a container holder that holds the container and is attached in a rotatable manner to the rotating body in a position that is a predetermined distance away from the rotation axis line of the rotating body; a compartment body that compartmentalizes a space including an area in which the rotating body rotates; one or a plurality of projection bodies that project from an inner surface of the compartment body towards the area in which the rotating body rotates; and a temperature adjustor that adjusts the temperature of the compartment body.

  • Publication number: 20100265791
    Abstract: A mixing and degassing apparatus includes: a supporting member 14; a rotating base 16 supported on the supporting member so as to be rotatable on a first rotational axis Y1; a first rotating mechanism 18 for rotating the rotating base on the first rotational axis; a container 20 which is fixed to a peripheral portion of the rotating base and which is rotatable with the rotating base around the first rotational axis; a shearing stress applying member 40 having a shearing stress applying portion 40a which is arranged in the vicinity of a maximum centrifugal force applying region on the inner wall surface of the container and which is rotatable on a second rotational axis Y2; and a second rotating mechanism 46 for rotating the shearing stress applying portion of the shearing stress applying member on the second rotational axis to apply a shearing stress to a material to be treated in the container, wherein if the rotating base rotates on its own axis to revolve the container, the shearing stress applying portion
