Automated centrifugation device and methods to continuously separate components from different mixtures

A device adapted for use in a manufacturing process, the device comprising:

• a chamber including a base and at least one sidewall extending upwardly from the base to form an apex, a longitudinal axis of the chamber extends from a center of the base to the apex, the chamber comprising an inlet, a first outlet, and a second outlet, wherein the chamber is configured to rotate around an axis of rotation in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the chamber;
• the first outlet residing generally in the center of the base;
• the second outlet residing in the base and positioned adjacent to the first outlet;
• the inlet residing in the base and positioned adjacent to the at least one sidewall, and
• the device further comprises a plurality of pumps and a plurality of valves coupled to the inlet and the first and second outlets,
• wherein, during rotation of the chamber, a first pump of the plurality of pumps is configured to continuously flow a complex starting material into the chamber through the inlet, a second pump of the plurality of pumps is configured to continuously flow separated solid slurry materials from the complex starting material out of the chamber through the first outlet and via a first valve of the plurality of valves, as supernatant materials from the complex starting material is pushed out of the chamber through the second outlet via a second valve of the plurality of valves.
