Robinson Centrifuge Model 720

The is categorized as a vertical basket centrifuge (peeler centrifuge) designed for batch processing. Its architecture is defined by a rotating cylindrical basket that houses a filter medium. Unlike decanter centrifuges that use a screw conveyor, the basket design relies on centrifugal force to drive liquid through a screen while retaining solids.

While many modern centrifuges have moved to fully digital touchscreens, the Model 720 retains a "hybrid" approach. It features digital control for temperature and timing, but the speed regulation is handled by a robust mechanical governor or a simple solid-state drive, making it easier to repair in remote field laboratories. robinson centrifuge model 720

The Model 720 typically utilizes a robust aluminum rotor with rubber cushion inserts. These inserts accommodate standard 100ml pear-shaped or cone-shaped centrifuge tubes. The design minimizes vibration even when the load is slightly unbalanced—a common issue when dealing with volatile samples. The is categorized as a vertical basket centrifuge
