If a Recycler or unbalanced Furnace outputs reagent mixture rather than the desired ingots, a centrifuge allows you to reclaim the raw ore. It also refines Dirty Ore produced from the Deep Miner. Its bigger brother Combustion Centrifuge can be used to process items significantly faster.
Items processed by the centrifuge will be de-gassed.
Degassing the ores releases the gasses into the room.
The Combustion Centrifuge is a gas powered version of the Centrifuge. A combustible fuel mix should be supplied to the gas input, and waste gasses should be vented from the output. The machine's RPMs must be controlled via the throttle and combustion limiter levers. If the Combustion Centrifuge gains, or looses, RPMs too fast it will experience stress, and eventually grind to a halt. Higher RPMs directly result in faster processing speeds.
The throttle lever controls the amount of fuel being pulled into the machine, increasing the temperature inside the engine, and leading to an increase in RPM. The limiter lever influences the speed of the combustion, and how much uncombusted gas is in the exhaust.
Ejecting ore from the Combustion Centrifuge while it is at high RPMs will result in additional stress build up. If turned off while not stressed, the machine will automatically start to brake, and reduce RPMs in a controlled manner.
