Self-purging centrifuge

摘要: Self-purging centrifuge (10) for liquid/liquid/solid separation. It is useful in industries such as metal working where separation of a lighter liquid from heavier achieved simultaneously with the suspended solid particles, without requiring use pre-filter. The includes rotatable drum (11), driven rotor disc-assembly (22, 24, 25) mounted within extension means (50) guiding separated liquid, apart separate collection chambers (48, 53) and purge rods (65) assisting removal collected solids side wall (12). Rotation (11) causes particles to collect on Heavier flows upwardly liquid. Lighter moves inwardly, travelling through disc assembly (22. 25). Purging accomplished an eroding, washing action.
