Abstract
A centrifuge, preferably of the type having an upright axis, e.g. a wobble centrifuge, is provided with a distributor for the product to be centrifuged. The distributor, which is rotatable with the shaft, e.g. by being connected to the drum or basket or to the drive shaft proper, is formed with a circular array of ribs which are concave in the direction of rotation and form acute angles with a circle centered on the axis of the distributor along the inner portion of the array, thereby improving the distribution of the product to the drum and accelerating the product in the direction of rotation while directing it outwardly onto the drum.
