专利汇可以提供Solid bowl centrifugal separator专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且A centrifugal separator for the removal of solids from slurry. A high-speed bowl which rotates about a vertical axis is centrally fed with slurry in its upper region. A circular ceiling plate above the level of slurry feed establishes with the cylindrical upper rim section of the bowl a narrow annulus which becomes sealed with sludge as the solid constituents build up in the vicinity thereof and a series of plows advance slowly around the annulus and through the sludge seal and serve to elevate the sludge above the ceiling plate and into the path of a series of rotatable buckets. The latter orbit at a slightly increased speed around the bowl interior and in connection with rotation thereof assume outside ecliptic positions where they scoop wads of sludge from the sludge seal. Such buckets also in connection with rotation thereof assume inside ecliptic positions where their directional relationship is reversed so that centrifugal force dislodges the wads and causes them to be flung radially outwards over the rim of the bowl. The liquid constituent of the slurry is forced outwardly through an outlet in the bowl bottom wall.,下面是Solid bowl centrifugal separator专利的具体信息内容。
