Been there, done that…full speed is not the right place to start

You gotta ease her into it. Also may I suggest using plastic jars aor tubes.

You can, but stainless is my preference.
Should have full speed capabilities on these by end of day…
Using something much like @pdxcanna suggests above (below)
Just got to get the manufacturing off the inserts…

Hmm Interesting I’ll give it a try
What is full speed?
I’d like to find a slip roller and spot weld some stainless mesh around the diameter as reinforcement
Stronger baskets seem to be the ideal route at this poinnt

4000rpm == 3220 rcf
2000rpm == 805 rcf
RPM / RCF conversion Says those numbers are consistent with ~180mm radius, which is right about where my tape measure puts it.

You know you can change the fuge to read out rcf instead of rpms

Yes.
I used web to double check Carol’s work.
With link for those with less accommodating interfaces on their spiney-go-rounds (or those who were dubious and needed to see the math for themselves).
edit: …and the math for those who are not quite curious enough to go look, but might absorb it if it is right in from of them…now that I have a keyboard.
RCF = 1.12 x Radius x (rpm/1000)2

For those wondering, Carol is the name of the fuge that we’ve been doing most our spinning in.

And cyclops plays some more head tennis with a fish
Btw thx guy for saving an excelent thread from going…
I had a basket of 25 micron felt made for lanphan China fuge with a smaller top entry hole and reinforced top side
Until the sintered stainless model is finished
(16 weeks 
)so far so good
It can hold a max of 15 kg of crystals
More and the layer get s to thick to function properly and fast

Nice bag.
Hmmm… bag or rotor?!?
This style rotor is more appropriate, but if you’ve managed to build a bag that works I’d love a copy.

what is the ideal centrifuge to spin stainless jars this size?
ideal?
that would imply I have spun them in more than one.
we had a fuge. we found “not glass” that fit.
anything with 98-100mm diameter buckets should work.

makes sense. I just want to be able to spin more than those tiny 50ml tubes. cant get any real work done at that size

there are multiple desktop and floor model centrifuges that take rotors similar to this
4x 600ml or 6 x 600ml should get you buckets in the right size.
1000ml buckets exist, but then you’ve got to use a spacer or find a different bottle.
swinging buckets are superior to fixed angle in this application, but you can generally spin the fixed angle rotors harder, so there are pro’s to both solutions.
