There are many types of centrifuge machines. Such a machine has a rotating unit into which some object or materials are placed. The material will then be subjected to the sentrifugal force that pushes the material out to the periphery.

A common type of use is to separate components in a blending of materials. The densest components will feel a greater force per volume unit than the other components and will be forced more to the periphery where they can be taken out, either during the centrifugal action or from the material afterwards.

In other cases some components are more bulky than the others and will not move, while the less bulky components will move to the periphery.

A washing machine is also a centrifuge machine. The sentrifugal action is used to separete the water from the clothes after the wash. The water is both less bulky and more dense than the clothes and will therefore run out through holes in the periphery.
