ABSTRACT:
A centrifuge of the type having an outer bowl and an inner rotor both of which are generally cylindrical and rotate in the same direction but at slightly different rates separates slurry fed into the interior of the rotor into solids and liquid. An auger flight on the outside surface of the rotor carries the solids along the annular channel between the outside of the rotor and the inside of the bowl. The slurry is fed into a chamber at one end of the rotor and through outlet holes in the sides of the rotor into the channel. An end plate of the chamber has a forwardly projecting domed central nose which extends into the flowing slurry. Transverse guide plates of the rotor act to engage the slurry and accelerate it into rotation with the rotor before escaping through the holes. The guide plates are shaped with curved angularly projecting ribs on the downstream side in front of the hole over which the slurry flows in a smooth path before exiting the hole.
