The centrifuge is used for refining materials such as ores, crystals, and depleted fuels. It takes one input and produces 4 outputs.
Needs a medium amount of power.
There are two slots for upgrades.
This machine only processes solids. For the centrifuge that processes fluids, see the Gas Centrifuge.
Crafting
The centrifuge is assembled in the assembly machine with the following recipe:
Where the centrifuge element is assembled with the following recipe:
How to Operate
It must be supplied with power and will fail if it runs out of power while it is running. Power can be either external or internal through a battery. After is has power, simply put a valid item or block in the input slot. If there is free space, it should start to operate.
The Centrifuge is fully compatible with hoppers. Placing a hopper facing into the bottom block of a centrifuge will automatically feed items in for processing, and placing a hopper underneath will channel the centrifuged items out.
Uses
It is quite effective as an ore processing device as it provides ore doubling or even tripling (possibly quadrupling with a ore acidizer) plus a by-product for all of the major ores. It can be used to obtain desh blend directly from rare earth ore. It is also the only way of reprocessing spent nuclear fuels. It is the only way of processing trixite, an ore found in the End that is useful for getting plutonium and nitanium.
Notes
- It takes 10 seconds for one operation (Assuming 20 TPS).
- It can store up to 100 thousand HE.
- It takes around 40K HE for each operation but will try to operate with less energy.
- It makes a very loud and annoying sound, so try to not have master volume at 100% when running.
- Don't look at the bottom.
