Provided is a centrifuge that, while using a simple configuration, is capable of stabilizing, at a high level, the density of a solid component in waste discharged from a separation chamber of the centrifuge , is capable of reducing the discharge amount of the waste, and is capable of reducing the storage space for the waste. The centrifuge of a separation plate type is provided with a system controller 17 that includes : a memory 17A storing therein a discharge trigger table generated from initial turbidity levels organized into a plurality of groups and a plurality of change in ∆NTU values respectively corresponding to the plurality of groups of initial turbidity levels; and a central processing unit 17B that calculates a discharge reference value at which the solid component S in the separation chamber 15 is to be discharged, on the basis of an initial turbidity level and the change of ∆NTU value corresponding to the initial turbidity level in the discharge trigger table. |
