The centrifuge (1) described has at least one device (11,12) designed to control the operation of the centrifuge, the devices being mounted to rotate with the rotating part of the centrifuge and to be operated by a mechanical actuator (13) also rotating with it. Such devices may, for instance, be drain valves, periodically opening discharge valves, sill height adjustment devices, pressure-control devices, temperature-control devices, etc. At least one part of the devices of this centrifuge to be controlled independently of the centrifugal force is designed so that the rotating actuator (13) changes its shape as a function of the temperature and has at least one temperature-specific shape.

Centrifuge for separating substances comprising: at least one operable device rotatably located in a rotating region of the centrifuge, controlled by at least one co-rotating mechanical actuator for determining the operation of said at least one device, in which the actuator exhibits a shape change,

Centrifuge for separating substances comprising: at least one operable device rotatably located in a rotating region of the centrifuge, controlled by at least one co-rotating mechanical actuator for determining the operation of said at least one device, in which the actuator exhibits a shape change, resulting in at least one temperature specific configuration which is controlled by heating and/or cooling, and the actuator is bathed in a liquid or gaseous heating and/or cooling control medium to provide the temperature variation which causes the actuator shape change.
