ABSTRACT:
A decanter centrifuge comprises a bowl having a plurality of cake discharge openings at one end and a liquid phase discharge opening. The bowl is rotatable about a longitudinal axis, while the cake discharge openings are disposed in a plane oriented transversely relative to the longitudinal axis. The bowl has a cylindrical portion and a beach portion between the cylindrical portion and the cake discharge openings. A conveyor is disposed at least partially inside the bowl for rotation about the longitudinal axis at an angular speed different from an angular rotational speed of the bowl. The conveyor includes a helical screw disposed inside the bowl for scrolling a deposited solids cake layer along an inner surface of the bowl towards the cake discharge openings. A feed element extends into the bowl and the conveyor for delivering a feed slurry into a pool inside the bowl. Pursuant to the invention, a flow control structure is provided on the bowl at the cake discharge openings for varying a cross-sectional area of the cake discharge openings to selectively impede a flow of cake along the bowl towards the cake discharge openings, thereby obtaining the desired cake dryness.
