Description

Takes Reagent Mix created in the Recycler or Furnace through its input and raw ores come out of the output.

To complete construction you will need 2 Steel Sheets with a Wrench and 2 more Steel Sheets with a Welder tool.

Note

• Even by passing by the Centrifuge, some ore cannot be separated from the Reagent Mix. For example, Steel will exit the centrifuge as reagent mix. You will then need to put it in the Furnace and re-smelt it to obtain steel. This also apply for Solder, Electrum, other alloys and advanced alloys.
• Items processed by the Centrifuge will be degassed, hence no gas will be emitted when ore is smelted. This includes Coal, especially when extracted from Dirty Ore, which won't produce any Carbon Dioxide, e.g. when used in the Solid Fuel Generator.

Data Network Properties

These are all Data Network properties of this device.

Data Parameters

These are all parameters that can be written with a Logic Writer, Batch Writer, or Integrated Circuit (IC10).

Parameter Name	Data Type	Description
On	Boolean	Turns the Centrifuge on, when set to 1. Turns it off, when set to 0.
Open	Boolean	Opens the Centrifuge, when set to 1. Close it, when set to 0.

Data Outputs

These are all parameters, that can be read with a Logic Reader or a Slot Reader. The outputs are listed in the order a Logic Reader's "VAR" setting cycles through them.

Output Name	Data Type	Description
Power	Boolean	Returns whether the Centrifuge is turned on and receiving power. (0 for no, 1 for yes)
Error	Boolean	Returns whether the Centrifuge is flashing an error. (0 for no, 1 for yes)
Reagents	Double	Total Number of reagents recorded by the device. Max reagent capacity is 400, at which time centrifuge will spin down and flash an error. IC/Logic required for automation, otherwise manual operation.
On	Boolean	Returns whether the Centrifuge is on. (0 for no, 1 for yes)
ImportCount	Integer	The amount of items imported since last ClearMemory
ImportSlotOccupant	Boolean	Returns whether there is something in the Centrifuge import slot. (0 for no, 1 for yes) This only briefly turns to 1, when something is put in the import slot.
ExportQuantity	Integer	Returns the number of items, in the Centrifuge export slot, in grams. This only briefly returns a value, when the Centrifuge drops something out of its export slot.
ExportSlotOccupant	Boolean	Returns whether there is something in the export slot. (0 for no, 1 for yes) This only briefly returns a value, when the Centrifuge drops something out of its export slot.
RequiredPower	Integer	Returns the current amount of power, required by the Centrifuge, in watts.

Usage

The Centrifuge initially takes one item from the input. It then spins until all the contents have been separated, internally, before opening the input to accept another item, without stopping the spin or outputting anything. It will continue to consume and spin items until it is interrupted or the reagent inside it reaches a limit of 400. It then will enter an "error" state until it is emptied.

If the Centrifuge is spinning, pulling the lever will cause the machine to enter an "error" state, spin down, and eventually emit any separated ores. Any unprocessed reagents are retained inside the machine, and the separation process will resume when the lever is pushed back in.

When the separated ores are emitted, they all come together in a steady stream from the same output; you may want to consider using Chutes, Sorters, Stackers, and either Silos or a Vending Machine to manage the output.
