A solid bowl helical conveyor centrifuge. The centrifuge includes a rotating drum, having a centrifuge space with a screw that can also rotate. An inlet tube for supplying a material for centrifugation into the centrifuge space, and at least one liquid discharge and at least one solids discharge, wherein the liquid discharge and/or the solid discharge is/are designed as at least one or more openings in a rotating part of the solid bowl helical conveyor centrifuge, in particular through openings in the drum wall. At least one of the openings is covered by a housing which encloses the drum of the solid bowl helical conveyor centrifuge in only some sections, between the at least one housing and the drum and/or other rotating elements of the solid bowl helical conveyor centrifuge (drum heads, hubs) at least one or more gaskets are provided.

Solid bowl helical conveyor centrifuge with a pressurized housing

A solid-bowl centrifuge with an intake pipe and a peeling disk that conveys the peeled-off material out through its hub and comprises a stationary eccentric and a rotating lid that allows the disk to rotate on a carrier positioned in a radial slot. The hub comprises two concentric components, wherein the inner component is secured to the stationary eccentric and the outer component is secured to the rotating peeling-disk lid.

Solid-bowl centrifuge with an intake pipe and a peeling disk

A continuously operating screw ejection centrifugal separator. The drum and the screw are driven by an epicyclic gear train. Changes in torque between the screw and the drum of the centrifuge are measured and the differential speed of the screw and drum is controlled so as to obtain substantially steady state operation of the separator. For the control, a second epicyclic gear train is associated with the first-mentioned epicyclic gear train.
