Abstract: A slurry-feeding arrangement for a continuously operating, vertical, centrifugal filter includes a dish-shaped receptacle coaxially mounted on the hub portion of the bowl and a distributor having the shape of an inverted cup enveloping the receptacle and connected to the hub by radial arms of a spider plate integral with the receptacle. The slurry to be filtered is centrifugally deposited from the receptacle on the inner face of the distributor, and thinning of the deposited film of slurry on the segments of the distributor face between the arms and the open end of the distributor is prevented by radially open recesses on either circumferential side of each arm in the inner distributor face.
