Description
Introducing Gerber model MC50 laboratory centrifuge
Gerber model MC50 centrifuge, made in Iran, is used in milk and dairy industries to measure and separate the fat in dairy products. This laboratory centrifuge model operates at a constant speed of 1100 rpm and separates fat from milk and other similar products while moving by generating heat.
The device has an 8-pin aluminum head and is equipped with a 15-minute timer that turns off automatically at the set time.
What is Gerber design centrifuge?
Gerber design centrifuge is a laboratory device specially designed to measure the amount of fat in dairy products such as milk, cream and cheese. Using the method invented by Dr. Gerber, this device separates fat from other components of the product and measures its amount with high accuracy.
Using centrifugal force and chemical reactions, the Gerber centrifuge separates the fat in dairy products. In this method, the sample of milk (or other dairy products) along with special chemicals (such as sulfuric acid and amyl alcohol) is poured into special tubes called butterometers. With the rapid rotation of the centrifuge, the fat is separated from the other components of the sample and moves to the top of the tube due to its lower density. The heat produced in this process also helps to separate fat better. Finally, using the graduated scale on the boterometer tube, the volume of separated fat is measured and the fat percentage of the sample is calculated.
Key features
- Constant speed: This centrifuge works at a constant speed of 1100 rpm, which is enough for accurate fat separation.

Advantages and applications of Behsan MC50 centrifuge
Gerber model MC50 laboratory centrifuge is an essential tool in the laboratories of milk and dairy industries, which is designed for accurate measurement of fat percentage in dairy products. Using the Gerber method, this device separates fat from other components of milk and determines its amount very quickly and accurately. The key advantages of this device are: high accuracy, fast operation, easy to use, quality construction and reasonable price. Its main applications include accurate measurement of milk fat, quality control of dairy products, and dairy research. By using this device, it is possible to ensure the quality and standard of dairy products and to use it in the development of new products.
Working principles:
- Sampling: a certain amount of the sample (for example, milk) is poured into special tubes called boterometers along with certain chemicals (such as sulfuric acid and amyl alcohol).
- Centrifuge: The tubes are placed in the centrifuge and the device is turned on. With the rapid rotation of the device, centrifugal force is created and the fat in the sample moves up and accumulates in the upper part of the tube.
- Measurement: The volume of separated fat is measured using a graduated scale on the tube of the buterometer and the percentage of fat is calculated.
Note: To prevent pipes from breaking, first turn on the device and then turn on the heating element.
