A continuously operable sugar centrifuge separates sugar massecuites into syrup portions of differing quality and crystalline sugar. The centrifugal screening basket is mounted for rotation within a housing divided into a plurality of different compartments for receiving syrup portions of differing quality from the screening basket. The housing also includes a first common collecting chamber for green syrup and a second common collecting chamber for high green syrup. Adjustable valves are provided between at least some of the compartments and the collecting chambers for alternatively connecting a compartment to either the first or second collecting chamber for separate discharge of syrup according to the quality of syrup received in the compartment. Mixing of syrup portions of differing quality is prevented by sealing elements even though the transition zone from green syrup to high green syrup shifts up or down along the basket wall.

Continuously operable sugar centrifugal

A conical centrifugal basket suitable for continuously operating sugar centrifuges. The basket has at least two sections connected to each other by screws or the like extending through flanges which extend radially outwardly. The separation screen of the basket section having the larger diameter has a radial extension at the smaller diameter end. The radial screen extension is directed radially outwardly and is clamped between the flanges.
