A low pressure filtration and thickening device comprising a tank having a plurality of suspended filter elements therein and a plurality of filtrate receiving compartments in the upper portion of the tank for receiving filtrate from the filter elements wherein a filtrate discharge system is provided for providing separate and uninterrupted flow paths for the filtrate from the filter tank to a storage tank.

Filtrate discharge system for pressure filter

A nozzle type centrifuge having a bottom feed inlet to a main pumping chamber at the base of the machine for injecting the feed slurry to a rotor bowl having separator discs for effecting a two-fraction separation comprising an overflow at the top and an underflow at the peripheral mid portion of the bowl with a portion of the underflow delivered to a return pumping chamber beneath the main pumping chamber and seal means between said chambers to prevent dilution of the underflow fraction.

Feed seal for bottom feed centrifuge

A nozzle type centrifugal machine designed for two-fraction separation of feed slurry, wherein the rotor has a light fraction overflow at the top, while feed slurry as well as underflow return slurry from the nozzles are introduced into the rotor from below into respective feed accelerating pumping chambers, and wherein improvements in the pumping chambers results in reduced power requirement and in improved overall performance of the machine.

Nozzle type centrifugal machine with improved slurry pumping chambers

A nozzle type centrifugal machine with provision for light and heavy phase overflow delivery from top and bottom respectively of the rotor bowl, and equipped with control devices operable for correctively shifting the location of the interface within the limits of the centrifugal separating zone located within the area surrounded by a stack of separating discs.
