Abstract
Centrifuge for use in sterilization of liquids, e.g., milk, by removal of bacteria as a sludge or concentrate. A chamber (e.g., 13) for the concentrate is disposed outwardly of the drum separating chamber (e.g., 9) and communicates with the separating chamber via a narrow gap (e.g., 12). Passageways (e.g., 14) are provided for discharge of the sludge from the concentrate chamber. Thereby accumulation of sludge in the separating chamber is limited so that the possibility of infecting the purified liquid with sludge is reduced.
