* Standalone centrifuges for drying (hand-washed) clothes – usually with a water outlet.
* [[Washing machine]]s are designed to act as centrifuges to get rid of excess water in laundry loads.
* Centrifuges are used in the attraction [[Mission: SPACE]], located at [[Epcot]] in [[Walt Disney World]], which propels riders using a combination of a centrifuge and a [[motion simulator]] to simulate the feeling of going into [[space]].
* In [[soil mechanics]], centrifuges utilize centrifugal acceleration to match soil stresses in a scale model to those found in reality.
* Large industrial centrifuges are commonly used in [[water]] and [[wastewater]] treatment to dry [[sludge]]s. The resulting dry product is often termed '''cake''', and the water leaving a centrifuge after most of the solids have been removed is called '''centrate'''.
* Large industrial centrifuges are also used in the [[oil industry]] to remove solids from the [[drilling fluid]].
* Disc-stack centrifuges used by some companies in the [[oil sands]] industry to separate small amounts of water and solids from [[bitumen]]
* Centrifuges are used to separate cream (remove fat) from milk; see [[Separator (milk)]].
