A continuously operating centrifuge for centrifuging sugar massecuites has an upwardly flaring conical sieve basket () which rotates about a vertical axis (). A product distributor () flares downwardly and extends into the bottom region of the sieve basket (). The product distributor () is substantially coaxial with respect to the sieve basket (), has a discharge rim and rotates about the same vertical axis () as the sieve basket (). Within and in the upper region of the product distributor (), there is provided a distributor pot () which serves as a feeding device for the sugar massecuites in the axial region of the centrifuge. The peripheral wall of the product distributor () is divided up into a plurality of ring elements () which overlap in the direction of the axis () and the internal diameters of which differ from each other. A bell () surrounds the product distributor () and flares conically downwardly. A device () incorporating air directing elements is provided between at least two of the ring elements () of the product distributor ().

Continuously operating centrifuge

A continuously operating centrifuge serves for centrifuging sugar massecuites. It has elements () which rotate about a common axis (). Furthermore, there is provided a drive unit (), an outer housing incorporating a framework () having a base () and side walls () and vibration damping elements (). An inner housing () is provided around the elements () rotating about the common axis (). The vibration damping elements () are arranged between the inner housing () and the base () of the framework () of the outer housing.

A centrifuge basket having a basket casing, on the inside of which is formed a working screen for separating off suspension liquid. The basket casing has openings of elliptical design. The openings are offset in relation to one another in the axial direction and in the circumferential direction of the basket casing. The contours of the openings overlap in the axial direction such that the basket circumference is covered by openings.
