Abstract
A continuous discharge centrifuge can separate a slurry into a solid and liquid portion. The centrifuge has a housing and a rotor mounted in the housing to spin at a predetermined rate. The centrifuge has a spaced plurality of filters peripherally mounted on the rotor for separating the liquid portion by admitting it under centrifugal force. Also included is a spaced plurality of passage columns mounted between adjacent pairs of the filters. The columns can engage the outside of filters and conduct the solid portion upon the filters between it and the passage columns.
Claims13
A centrifugal method employing a cylindrically disposed, contiguous plurality of alternating filters and columns for continuously separating a slurry into a solid and liquid portion, comprising the steps of:
- revolving said filters and said columns at a predetermined rate;
- injecting said slurry radially outward onto said filters;
- engaging the outside of said filters with said columns to conduct said solid portion upon said filter between it and said passage columns.
A continuous discharge centrifuge for separating a slurry into a solid and liquid portion, comprising:
- a housing;
- a rotor mounted in said housing to spin at a predetermined rate;
- a spaced plurality of filter means peripherally mounted on said rotor for separating said liquid portion by admitting it under centrifugal force;
- and
- a spaced plurality of passage means rotatably mounted on said rotor between adjacent pairs of said filter means for engaging the outside of said filter means and conducting said solid portion upon said filter means between it and said passage means.
