A centrifuge drum for concentrating suspended solids, has a peripheral solids collection chamber having outlet channels, a plate insert of disks communicating at a peripheral area with the solids collection chamber such that solids precipitating in the plate insert are conveyed to the solids collection chamber and an inlet chamber through which suspension being clarified is conveyed. The plate insert has central channels for diverting clarified suspension and outer rising channels extending upwardly therethrough with inlets in communication with the inlet chamber and outlets. Diverting channels are in communication with the outlets of the rising channels and have radially outward sections in communication with the solids collection chamber for diverting solids thereto and radially inward sections with outlets for diverting a solids loaded partial stream.
