Deviation ring for a self-distributing centrifuge

A self-discharging centrifuge (1) for the process engineering treatment of highly concentrated pastes, comprising at least a housing (10) that is optionally coolable, a feed line (11) for a suspension, a discharge line (12) for a clarified liquid, a suspended drum (14), which is connected to a drive part (13) at the top and has two or more discharge slots (3), and a collection vessel (7), wherein the centrifuge (1) includes a paste deflector ring having an annular impact wall (2) for the self-discharging centrifuge (1), said centrifuge having a discharge slot (3), wherein a setting angle α of the tangent of the impact wall (2) of the paste deflector ring (4) positioned opposite the discharge slot (3) of the centrifuge (1) with respect to the horizontal is from 3 to 60° as seen over the entire opening width of the discharge slot (3), said paste deflector ring having an inner contour immediately below the impact wall of circular or parabolic design and, in the region below said discharge slot (3) a curved inner contour with a radius of curvature (r) of>20 mm, said impact wall (2) having, in the region above the opening width of the discharge slot (3), a setting angle γ with respect to the horizontal of 3 to 30°, the tangent of the inner contour, in the region below the curved inner contour of the paste deflector ring having a setting angle β of up to 30°, with respect to the vertical, said paste deflector ring (4) having, at its lower end, a detachment edge (6) which optionally is undercut, said paste deflector ring (4) being integral with said collection vessel (7) or detachably connected to said collection vessel, said paste deflector ring being provided with a cooling jacket (8).
