Structure of mechanism |
| Function |
The centrifuge body is made of metal, with a cover giving access to the rotor. Two knobs enable the rotation speed and time in minutes to be set. A needle dial indicates the number of revolutions per minutes (RPM). Four push buttons are used to open the hood, power the machine on, and start and stop the centrifuging operation. A switch can be used to brake the rotor. |
