Abstract
A filter centrifuge having a perforated drum in which a filter cloth is disposed with one end firmly attached to the drum and the other end attached to a base plate coaxial and rotatable with the drum, the drum being fastened to a hollow shaft, the interior of the hollow shaft serving as a receiver for another shaft carrying said base plate, the remote end of the shaft forming a piston rod displaceable axially to invert said filter cloth.

Filter centrifuge for the separation of solid and liquid components found in a suspension, with a centrifugal drum having radial discharge openings, which is positioned rotatably in a centrifuge housing, and is open at one front side, and with a filter cloth which can be installed in the drum, which is fastened removably on the one side to the opening edge of the drum which can be tightly sealed by a centrigue bowl cover, and on the other side with the base plate rigidly connected with the cover so as to leave a space between, wherein the centrifugal drum and the base plate are coaxial with one another, can be displaced in rotation together, and are movable axially with respect to one another, and with a filling pipe extending centrally into the centrifuge bowl for introduction of the suspension, characterized in that the centrifugal drum (16) is fastened to a hollow shaft (3) positioned rotatably in a centrifuge housing (2) and which is not displaceable axially, and the interior (11) of the hollow shaft (3) serves as a receiver for a shaft (12) having a free end remote from said base plate (23) forming a piston rod (33) disposed for axial movement in a pressure medium cylinder (6), whereby axial movement of said base plate (23) causes inversion of said filter cloth (22) to discharge said solids.
