Patent number: 7032759Abstract: The invention relates to a pusher centrifuge (1) for the separation of a mixture (2) into a solid cake (3) and into a liquid phase (4). The pusher centrifuge (1) in accordance with the invention includes an outer screen drum (6) rotatable about an axis of rotation (5), a mixture distributor (7) arranged in the screen drum (6) with a pusher base apparatus (8) and an infeed device (9), with the pusher base apparatus (8) being arranged and designed such that the solid cake (3) is displaceable by means of the pusher base apparatus (8) and the mixture (2) can be introduced by the infeed device (9) via the mixture distributor (7) into an empty space (R) which arises on the displacement of the solid cake (3) by the pusher base apparatus (8).Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2004Date of Patent: April 25, 2006Assignee: Ferrum AGInventors: Harald Reinach, Roy Geiger

Patent number: 7025211Abstract: The invention relates to a double pusher centrifuge including a screen drum (3) rotatable about an axis of rotation (2) for separating a mixture (4) into a solid material cake (5) and a liquid phase (6), a mixture distributor (7) arranged in the screen drum (3) and having a pusher base device (8), which is arranged to be movable to and fro along the axis of rotation (2), so that the solid material cake (5) is alternately displaceable with an outer ring zone (9). Furthermore, the double pusher centrifuge includes an infeed device (10) with which the mixture (4) can be introduced via the mixture distributor (7) into an empty space (11), which arises adjacent to the outer ring zone (9) on displacement of the solid material cake (5) by the pusher base device (8).Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2004Date of Patent: April 11, 2006Assignee: Ferrum AGInventors: Harald Reinach, Roy Geiger

Publication number: 20040206686Abstract: The invention relates to a pusher centrifuge (1) for the separation of a mixture (2) into a solid cake (3) and into a liquid phase (4), with the pusher centrifuge (1) in accordance with the invention including an outer screen drum (6) rotatable about an axis of rotation (5) and a mixture distributor (7) arranged in the screen drum (6) with a pusher base apparatus (8). The pusher base apparatus (8) is arranged and designed such that the solid cake (3) is displaceable by means of the pusher base apparatus (8). The pusher centrifuge (1) further includes an infeed device (9) with which the mixture (2) can be introduced via the mixture distributor (7) into an empty space (R) which arises on the displacement of the solid cake (3) by the pusher base apparatus (8), with the infeed device (9) including an inlet funnel (10) which extends in a substantially divergent manner towards the pusher base device (8).Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2004Publication date: October 21, 2004Applicant: Ferrum AGInventors: Harald Reinach, Roy Geiger

Patent number: 6547972Abstract: The invention relates to a centrifuge comprising a rotating drum (1) and comprising an ejection element (2) which rotates together with the drum in order to eject a cake (3) of solids, which is deposited on the inner side of the drum, in the axial direction (4). The ejection element (2) has a helix (5) which extends over the length of the drum. The helix (5) and the drum (1) are kinematically connected in such a manner that a reference point (A) at the circumference of the helix executes a rotational movement relative to the drum in the form of a sawtooth line (6, 8), with a first flank (7) of the sawteeth (8) corresponding approximately in its inclination (&agr;) to the pitch (&bgr;) of the helix whereas a second flank (9) of the sawteeth (8) corresponds to an approximately axial ejection movement.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2001Date of Patent: April 15, 2003Assignee: Ferrum AGInventors: Werner Stahl, Harald Reinach
