Abstract: The invention relates to a transverse disc (60) of a centrifuge screw (30) for stabilising a screw hub structure. According to the invention, at least one opening (70) is formed at least in some sections on at least 75% of all the imaginary circle lines (71) of the transverse disc (60) between the centre point (M) and the transverse disc circumference (72).

Abstract: The invention relates to: an inlet region (80) of a centrifuge screw (30), the centrifuge screw (30) having, at least in the inlet region (80), a screw hub (32) with an open wall structure, in particular with longitudinal bars (58); and an inlet tube opening (47) of an inlet tube (46), the inlet tube opening (47) opening into the inlet region (80). Opposite the inlet tube opening (47) there is an impact element (70), in particular an impact disc, having an acceleration element (75), the acceleration element (75) being designed such that a medium impinging on the acceleration element (75) can be accelerated in the direction of open spaces (85) of the open wall structure, said open spaces being in particular between the longitudinal bars (58).
