  • Centrifuge machine having an improved discharge system
    Patent number: 10166551
    Abstract: 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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 26, 2015
    Date of Patent: January 1, 2019
    Assignees: COMMISSARIAT A L'ENERGIE ATOMIQUE ET AUX ENERGIES ALTERNATIVES, FLOWERSEP
