Abstract
Continuously operable sugar centrifuge comprises a number of centrifuging channels forming part of a conical frustum and being symmetrically distributed relative to a rotational axis. Preferably, two channels are arranged to receive the massecuite through massecuite supply conduits connected to the upper ends of the centrifuging channels. The lower ends of the centrifuging channels are connected through radially extending sugar discharge conduits leading to a sugar outlet arranged coaxially with the drive shaft of the centrifuge. The sugar conduits have a radial dimension so that their outer ends extend outside of the centrifuging channels. The outer ends of the sugar conduits are provided with funnels facing with their open face in the direction of rotation of the centrifuge whereby an air stream transports the sugar radially inwardly from the centrifuging channels to the sugar outlet.
