The rotating device for a centrifugal partition chromatograph comprises at least
one thick-walled cylindrical body (1) that can be driven in rotation around
its axis (14), the said cylindrical body (1) comprising several cells
with a height less than a determined height. The cells, arranged in the housings
(11), have an elongated shape arranged along a direction with a radial component
with regard to the rotation axis (14) of the said body (1) and connected
to each other in series through ducts. The single piece cylindrical body (1)
has a thick wall, with a height (H) at least twice as high as the said determined
height, the said cells being arranged at several different heights.
For example, several hundred cells may be arranged in the single piece cylindrical
body (1). The rotating device resists pressures well above 100 bars and
can be used for industrial applications.
