A centrifugal separator for and a method of separating the constituents of a fluid mixture wherein the mixture is introduced into a separating means (12), preferably a container, and the separating means is rotated about its own first (19) and simultaneously in planetary fashion about a second offset axis (28) to separate the constituents by centrifugal action, due to rotation about the second offset axis (28), the first axis (19) and the second offset axis (28) being disposed in non-parallel relationship to one another and a separated constituent being thrown out of an open end of the separating means (12) under centrifugal action due to rotation of the separating means (12) about the second offset axis (28) without removal means being required within the separating means (12). In a preferred arrangement the second offset axis (28) is substantially vertical and the first axis (19) lies at an acute angle to the vertical. |
