A centrifuge attached to bevel gears
Description[]
The centrifuge is a processing machine that separates some items into more basic components using fast speeds. It can be used to squeeze canola seed husks, leftovers from canola seeds processed by a grinder, getting and extra amount of lubricant, as well as being essential for producing ethanol crystals
Rotarycraft Handbook Description[]
"The centrifuge will use large centripetal forces to separate items into constituents of different density, or to squeeze fluids out of some items. If you are into beekeeping, it can also extract propolis and other products from combs."
Requirements[]
| Power | 16384 W |
| Speed | 4096 rad/s |
| Power Input | Bottom |
Recipes[]
Sludge -> Ethanol Extract(80%), Ethanol Extract(20%), Compost(25%)
Magma Cream -> Slime Ball and Blaze Powder
Melon -> Melon Seeds (4)
Pumpkin -> Pumpkin Seeds (12)
Wheat -> Wheat Seeds (4)
Gravel -> Flint (50%), Sand (75%)
Netherrack Dust -> Glowstone Dust (25%), Gunpowder (80%), Sulfur (40%)
Dirt -> Sand (80%), Clay (10%)
Blaze Powder -> Gunpowder, Sulfur (75%)
Slipery Comb -> Slipery Propolis (80%), 50mb Lubricant
Slipery Propolis -> 150mb Lubricant
Canola Husks -> 90mb Lubricant (on normal, changes with difficulty)
Duration of Operation Formula[]
Time(in ticks) = 1200 - 60 × log2 (speed + 1)
Time(in sec) = Time(in ticks) / 20
At min speed, 4096 rad/s = 23.99 seconds per operation
At 1MW, 1Nm @ 1048 krad/s (2^20 rads/s), you get one operation per tick.
At 2MW, 1NM @ 2097 krads/s (2^21 rads/s), you get 2 operations per tick.
At 4MW, 1NM @ 4194 krads/s (2^22 rads/s), you get 3 operations per tick.
At 8MW, 1NM @ 8388 krads/s (2^23 rads/s), you get 4 operations per tick.
And so on. Every doubling of the speed increases the operations per tick by one.
Tips & Tricks[]
- It squeezes some lubricant out of canola seed husks.
- It can also be used to separate gravel into sand & flint, extract seeds from some crops and separate magma cream into its original components, among other uses.
- It has native compatibility with Forestry and allows centrifuging honeycombs.
