Abstract
A centrifugal separator includes a housing and a rotary vessel having an axis and being attached to the housing for rotation relative to the housing about the axis. Either: a) the rotary vessel has one or more magnetisable regions and the housing has one or more electromagnetic windings; or b) the rotary vessel has one or more electromagnetic windings and the housing has one or more magnetisable regions. The electromagnetic windings are selectively energisable to create a magnetic field to cause rotation of the rotary vessel.
