Centrifugal separator with annular piston for solids extrusion
10449555 · 2019-10-22 ·

A centrifugal separator includes a cylindrical bowl, a core tube assembly, and an annular piston disposed around the core tube assembly and inside the inner surface of the bowl. Feed liquid is injected down the core tube assembly into the lower portion of the bowl, raising the annular piston. During a separation mode, the bowl rotates at high speed, separating solids from the feed liquid to accumulate along the inner surface of the bowl, while collecting clarified centrate as it exits the top of the bowl and through the core tube assembly. Following solids accumulation, bowl rotation is stopped and residual liquid is pumped from the bowl. In a solids discharge mode, the annular piston is urged downward along a vertical axis in response to compressed gas. The downward movement of the piston forces accumulated solids from the bowl via an opening in the lower end thereof.

Centrifuge machine having an improved discharge system

In a centrifugal machine, collecting chambers, which are in a rotary bowl allocated to centrifugal separation of at least two phases, include a discharge port that can be opened or closed as desired by pistons, movement of which is controlled from outside by a reduced-friction system. Drawing volume is adjustable and proportional to volume of a transverse aperture in the pistons, the ports and the openings of the collecting chambers being offset. The machine enables pseudo-continuous drawing which makes it possible to maintain a continuous supply. The drawing volume, composition of the drawn product, and compactness thereof, in a case of a near-solid phase, are controlled.
