Patent number: 8123667Abstract: A separator includes a rotatable centrifugal drum having a vertical axis of rotation. The separator includes a rotatable drive spindle to drive the drum, an hydraulic system located in an interior of the drum and at least one feed line to feed a control fluid to the drum, the at least one feed line having an outlet region. Further included is a ring non-rotatably connected to the drum, a gap located between one of the drive spindle and the drum and the drive spindle and the ring. The feed line leads out radially in front of the drive spindle in the outlet region. The outlet region is oriented and configured such that emerging control fluid is spread directly against the drive spindle, and a portion of the control fluid enters through the gap into the hydraulic system.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2007Date of Patent: February 28, 2012Assignee: Westfalia Separator AGInventors: Johannes Droste, Norbert Wegener

Patent number: 7749148Abstract: A separator drum for a separator having a vertical rotational axis. The separator drum includes an upper drum section, a lower drum section, and a screw connection formed between the upper end lower drum sections without a locking ring. The upper drum section is screwed into the lower drum section or the lower drum section is screwed into the upper drum section. A portion of the upper drum section adjacent the screw connection engages behind a portion of the lower drum section adjacent the screw connection in a manner of a clamping device.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2006Date of Patent: July 6, 2010Assignee: Westfalia Separator AGInventors: Jürgen Mackel, Norbert Wegener

Patent number: 5865719Abstract: A self-emptying centrifuge drum has a collecting channel for emptying the drum and a fitting for introducing water into the collecting channel. The drum is rotatable and is hydraulically actuatable by water introduced into the collecting channel through the fitting. The collecting channel rotates with the drum about an axis of rotation and the fitting is stationary and has at least one outlet. A baffle extends up from below the collecting channel and between the collecting channel and the fitting and has a lower portion below the collecting channel and an upper portion extending into an area radially inward of the collecting channel with respect to the axis of rotation. The at least one outlet of the fitting is aimed at the lower portion of the baffle.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 1997Date of Patent: February 2, 1999Assignee: Westfalia Separator AGInventors: Johannes Droste, Norbert Wegener
