Abstract
A continuously operating centrifuge for centrifuging sugar massecuites has an upwardly flaring conical sieve basket () which rotates about a vertical axis (). A product distributor () flares downwardly and extends into the bottom region of the sieve basket (). The product distributor () is substantially coaxial with respect to the sieve basket (), has a discharge rim and rotates about the same vertical axis () as the sieve basket (). Within and in the upper region of the product distributor (), there is provided a distributor pot () which serves as a feeding device for the sugar massecuites in the axial region of the centrifuge. The peripheral wall of the product distributor () is divided up into a plurality of ring elements () which overlap in the direction of the axis () and the internal diameters of which differ from each other. A bell () surrounds the product distributor () and flares conically downwardly. A device () incorporating air directing elements is provided between at least two of the ring elements () of the product distributor ().
