Tubular Centrifuge in Animal Blood Separation: Efficient Acquisition of Plasma and Blood Cell Components

Tubular Centrifuge in Animal Blood Separation: Efficient  Acquisition of Plasma and Blood Cell Components

In the field of high-value utilization of animal by-products, efficient blood separation is a  crucial step for enhancing resource utilization and expanding downstream applications.  With the growing demand for plasma proteins and blood cell components in the feed,  health products, biological agents, and food industries, traditional blood processing  methods can no longer meet the modern production requirements for purity, bioactivity,  and capacity. The adoption of advanced tubular centrifuges for blood separation is  becoming the preferred solution for the industry to overcome technical bottlenecks and  achieve quality and efficiency improvements.

Process Challenges in Animal Blood Separation

Animal blood is rich in valuable components such as plasma proteins, immunoglobulins,  fibrinogen, and heme, widely used in high-grade feed additives, protein nutritional  supplements, fermentation media, and biochemical raw materials. However, fresh blood  is prone to coagulation, has a complex composition, and poor stability. Traditional  methods like sedimentation, ordinary filtration, or low-speed centrifugation commonly  suffer from: 

•Low separation efficiency, making continuous production difficult 

•Residual blood cells in plasma affecting purity 

•High blood cell breakage rate, damaging functional components 

•Long process times, easily leading to microbial contamination or protein denaturation 

Utilizing the professionally designed tubular centrifuges from Liaoning Zhonglian enables  gentle, rapid, and efficient continuous separation within a fully enclosed system,  maximizing the preservation of the bioactivity and functional properties of various blood  components.

Working Principle of Liaoning Zhonglian Tubular Centrifuge

 1. Feeding and Pretreatment 

Freshly collected animal blood, after anticoagulation treatment, is smoothly fed into the  centrifuge bowl via the feeding system. The pretreatment stage ensures uniform blood  with good fluidity, preventing early coagulation.

 2. High-Speed Centrifugal Separation  

Under the high centrifugal force generated by tens of thousands of revolutions per  minute, the denser blood cell particles rapidly settle and compact against the bowl wall  forming the solid phase layer; the less dense plasma concentrates in the central area of  the bowl, forming a clear liquid phase layer. 

3. Layered Collection  

After separation, the plasma is continuously discharged from the light liquid outlet,  while the concentrated blood cells can be collected via manual or automatic discharge  methods after the machine stops.

 4. Cleaning and Maintenance  

For production batch or species changes, the equipment can utilize a CIP  (Cleaning-in-Place) system to ensure hygiene standards and avoid cross-contamination

Technical Features of Liaoning Zhonglian Tubular Centrifuge in  Animal Blood Separation:

 • High Separation Factor : A separation factor exceeding 15,000 enables thorough  separation of minute blood components with close densities, resulting in high plasma  clarity. 

• Gentle Processing : The short separation process with minimal temperature rise effectively protects heat-sensitive proteins in plasma (e.g., immunoglobulins) and the  cellular integrity of blood cells. 

• Closed Operation: The fully sealed system prevents external contamination and  aerosol generation, complying with biosafety and production hygiene requirements. 

• Strong Adaptability: By adjusting parameters like speed and feed rate, it can flexibly  handle blood from different species (pig, cattle, poultry, etc.), accommodating variations in viscosity and composition. 

• Easy Maintenance: Relatively simple structure, convenient disassembly and  assembly, facilitating thorough cleaning and sterilization, suitable for materials prone to  microbial growth like blood.

Process Benefits and Output Value of Liaoning Zhonglian Tubular  Centrifuge 

1. Enhanced Plasma Quality: The obtained plasma is transparent with minimal residue,  and protein activity is well preserved, suitable for high-value-added applications. 

2. Highly Active Blood Cell Concentrate: Blood cells are collected intact with a low  breakage rate, facilitating subsequent preparation of heme, ultrafine powder, or cellular  extracts. 

3. Continuous Automated Production: Enables 24-hour continuous feeding and  separation, significantly increasing processing capacity and reducing unit cost. 

4. Complete Resource Utilization: Thorough separation minimizes waste, enhancing the  overall utilization value of blood.

Application Scenarios

 • On-site blood separation in slaughterhouses 

•Serum extraction (e.g., production of fetal bovine serum alternatives) 

•Fractional separation of blood proteins (albumin, globulin, etc.) 

•Separation of blood-derived components in animal vaccine production

 •Pretreatment for the preparation of functional peptides and amino acid raw materials
