Title: Georg Graw and His Centrifuge Invention

Introduction

Georg Graw is an inventor associated with Cliffside Park, New Jersey, in the United States. His recorded patent concerns a centrifuge with a vertical axis of rotation and describes a system designed to manage gas and liquid within the centrifuge’s peeling chamber.

Latest Patents

Graw’s listed patent, “Centrifuge with a Vertical Axis of Rotation,” describes a peeling chamber sealed from the atmosphere by an upstream barrier chamber. A barrier disk attached to a peeler extends into the barrier chamber, while channels supply compressed gas and liquid to designated areas. Solvent also enters the chamber from its periphery, creating a separation area between the liquids. The arrangement is intended to prevent gas from escaping from the solvent and to help keep solid particles from disrupting the chamber by allowing them to dissolve back into the solvent. Graw is credited with 1 patent.

Career Highlights

Graw is associated with Westfalia Separator AG. His patent reflects work on centrifuge design, particularly on controlling the interaction of gas, solvent, and barrier liquid in a peeling chamber.
