Abstract: A decanter centrifuge includes a centrifugal bowl rotatable around a preferably horizontal axis of rotation including at least one liquid phase discharge outlet at one end and at least one solids discharge opening at the other end, a scroll conveyor mounted substantially concentrically inside the bowl for rotation about the axis of rotation of the centrifugal bowl at a slightly different speed relative to the bowl for transporting the solid phase towards the solids discharge opening. The liquid phase discharge is enabled through port members. A set of bushings for solid discharge is provided to adjust the solid discharge diameter inside the bowl. With these bushings optimal cake discharge may be achieved.

Abstract: A rotating machine has a bowl that is rotatable about an axis to generate a cylindrical pool of a feed slurry. The bowl has a heavy phase discharge port and a base plate at one longitudinal end of the bowl. There is at least one outlet opening in the base plate and a liquid phase discharge port member positioned over the outlet opening. The liquid phase discharge port member includes at least one open straight channel having a longitudinal axis that extends at an acute angle relative to the base plate. The channel has an extension in the direction of the longitudinal axis of open straight channel.

Abstract: A decanter centrifuge includes a rotatable bowl extending along a centrifuge axis of rotation, and a rotatable scroll conveyor with hub mounted coaxially within the bowl. A feed pipe passes centrally within the hub and leads into a feed chamber within the hub. A plurality of circumferentially spaced apart nozzles extend radially outward from a round internal wall of the feed chamber to the outside surface of the hub and extend radially inward beyond the internal wall of the feed chamber. A plurality of discrete accelerator inserts are mounted on the internal wall of the feed chamber, wherein each insert is adjacently mounted between two nozzles and each nozzle is circumferentially fixed by abutment with the radially inward extensions of two of the spaced apart nozzles.

Abstract: A scroll conveyor tile protection or any other material subject to wear with a weldable support and a wear resistant insert, not necessary weldable. The support is fit with a flat surface and shoulder allowing for precise positioning of tile on a scroll flight to be protected. At least one opening, preferably at its center, allows for insertion and assembly of a complementary shaped insert. The unit setting up on the scroll flight and the contact between the flight faces and the unit faces allows for creating a dove tail locking system. Welding of the support permanently insures locking of the system and insert being maintained without being otherwise fixed beyond this mechanical clamping.

Abstract: The invention relates to a solid bowl centrifuge with a horizontal elongated, hollow, rotatable, solid-wall bowl (2) with an inlet and an outlet and a rotatable screw conveyor with a shaft (6) and helical screw (7) rotatable mounted inside said bowl and extending substantially the full length thereof. It is mainly characterized in that on the shaft there are mounted a number of truncated conical discs (24), whereby the discs are directly surrounded by the helical screw. With such design the decanter capacity can be increased and the polymer consumption reduced. Further power consumption can be reduced by obtaining the same performances as the traditional decanter at lower rotational speed (lower g-force).

Abstract: A decanter centrifuge comprising a scroll conveyor rotatable around a preferably horizontal axis of rotation mounted substantially concentrically within a rotating bowl, the scroll conveyor comprising a hub and at least one helical winding, the hub including an inside surface and an outside surface, at least one passageway between the inside surface and the outside surface of the scroll conveyor, and a feed pipe in the center of the scroll hub. A number of nozzles are provided extending from the inside of the feed chamber to the outside wherein on the inside surface of the scroll hub and between the nozzles around the circumference there are provided accelerator inserts. The invention also relates to a feed chamber for such a decanter centrifuge.

Abstract: The invention is related to a scroll conveyor tile protection or any other material subject to wear with a weldable support (41) and a wear resistant insert (6), not necessary weldable.

At least one opening, preferably at its center, allows for insertion and assembly of a complementary shaped insert. The unit setting up on the scroll flight and the contact between the flight faces and the unit faces allows for creating a dove tail locking system. Welding of the support permanently insures locking of the system and insert being maintained without other means of fixation than this mechanical clamping.
