Thermal Centrifuge is the second ore-doubling step of the Ala Industrial mod for Minecraft 26.2 Java Edition: one uranium dust goes in, two uranium concentrate come out, and each 200-tick operation costs 800 EU. Thermal Centrifuge is also the first block of the mod that has to be switched on and spun up — a held redstone signal accelerates the rotor for 400 ticks, and an Electric Heater directly below must be warm before the first operation starts. The LV tier sets the limits: an 800 EU internal buffer, a 32 EU/t input ceiling, 4 EU/t while spinning up or working and 1 EU/t for a rotor idling at speed. Together with the Electric Heater the pair draws 10 EU/t, and a copper cable (12 EU/t) carries the load with almost no margin left.

The full uranium chain makes the Thermal Centrifuge worth building: the Macerator crushes one ore block into two dusts, the Thermal Centrifuge splits each dust into two concentrate, and the Compressor presses two concentrate into one enriched uranium (U-235) — two enriched uranium from a single ore block instead of one ingot from a plain smelt, the charge for the reactor line's fuel rods. A second recipe separates one uranium ingot into two depleted uranium for shielding plates. Cutting the redstone signal stops the rotor at once and resets the spin, and only the Electric Heater counts as a heat source — lava, magma blocks and campfires leave the Thermal Centrifuge cold. The block runs on Fabric and NeoForge, is mined with a pickaxe (hardness 3.0, blast resistance 6.0), glows at light level 13 while working, and accepts hoppers and item pipes on every side except the bottom face, which belongs to the heater.
