  • Patent number: 10357784
    Abstract: A solid-bowl screw centrifuge has a centrifuge drum that can rotate about a longitudinal axis during operation. The centrifuge drum has a front wall with at least one discharge opening for discharging clarified product from the centrifuge drum. A weir edge is formed at the discharge opening radially toward the outside. An energy recovery device is provided for recovering energy from the clarified product that is being discharged. The energy recovery device defines a discharge pipe through which the clarified product passes as the clarified product flows out. The energy recovery device is situated on the outside of the front wall and in front of the discharge opening that has the weir edge.

  • Patent number: 10105715
    Abstract: A solid-bowl screw centrifuge has a centrifuge drum that is rotatable about a longitudinal axis, at least one outlet for discharging clarified material from the centrifuge drum, and an energy recovery device, arranged at the outlet, for recovering energy from the discharged clarified material, when the solid-bowl screw centrifuge is in operation, the centrifuge drum can rotate in a first direction of rotation and in a second direction of rotation opposite to the first direction of rotation. The energy recovery device has a first active surface, via which clarified material can flow out when the centrifuge drum is rotated in the first direction of rotation, and a second active surface, via which clarified material can flow out when the centrifuge drum is rotated in the second direction of rotation.

  • Publication number: 20160067718
    Abstract: A solid-bowl screw centrifuge with a centrifuge drum that can rotate about a longitudinal axis during operation is created, at least one discharge opening being provided on the front wall thereof for clarified product to flow out of the centrifuge drum, a weir edge delimiting the discharge opening toward the outside radially and an energy recovery device for recovering energy from the clarified product being designed therewith. The energy recovery device is designed as a discharge pipe, which is located on the outside in front of the discharge opening and through which clarified product passes as it is discharged.

  • Patent number: 5222935
    Abstract: Centrifuge for the separation of a suspension into a solids phase and at least one liquid phase, especially decantering centrifuge with separator following in alignment, full-jacket screw centrifuge or the like with screw (2) rotating at differential speed of rotation from its jacket (1), the helices (4) of which fit close against the course of the inner surface of the jacket, which narrows conically over at least some of its axial section looking toward the solids outlet (13) in particular, and between which, the hub (3) of the screw, and the jacket (1) is left the separation section (6), into which the suspension is injected, especially through a cavity (10 & 11 or 10 & 12) in the hub (3) of the screw.
