Is this the centrifuge you got? - x 1000 GPH WVO CENTRIFUGE / WMO CENTRIFUGE
That one does not have a motor and is pressure driven. If yours does have a motor, then Jeffrey is dead on - you can feed it as slow as you want up to the maximum rated flow rate with no ill effect.
The pressure driven pumps (like I have) achieve their RPM (and thus the G-Force) incremental to the pressure achieved. I run mine at 95 psi - unheated W85. I won't heat after I've mixed because it vaporizes my expensive component (RUG) and why would I want to do that?
The direct drive pumps achieve their RPM independent of what's going through them - you could do like Jeffrey said and just gravity feed, or get a variable speed motor on a gear pump so you could optimize your flow rate.
Could you post a link to the exact centrifuge you got?
