<p>Provided herein are a centrifuge assembly and method for gaining access to an accelerator. A centrifuge accelerator system is releasably mounted within a centrifuge assembly by a detachable connector, thereby providing accessibility to the accelerator. The centrifuge assembly includes a hollow bowl (52), a rotating conveyor (10), a drive shaft (20), and an accelerator (30). A series of detachable connectors (40,41) are used to mount the drive shaft (20) and accelerator (30) within the centrifuge assembly, providing a repeatable technique for gaining access to the accelerator (30) without damaging or destroying the rotating conveyor (10) or drive shaft (20). Mounting the accelerator (30) in a detachable, non-permanent manner renders the ability to repair or replace the accelerator (30) more efficient.</p> |
