ABSTRACT:
A feed accelerator system for use in a centrifuge, the system comprising an accelerator rotatably mounted substantially concentrically within the centrifuge and including a plurality of disc members concentrically and proximately spaced having a first disc and a second disc, each disc having an inside surface and an outer edge defining a disc diameter. The second disc includes a target surface having no sharp bends or junctions. The first disc includes a disc opening for receiving a discharge opening of a feed pipe. A plurality of disc vanes are disposed between the first and second discs so as to form a plurality of feed channels. The vanes generally extend from a radius equal to or larger than that of the disc opening and of the target surface, and terminate at a radius on the inside surfaces of the first and second discs at a distance from the outer edge of at least one of the first and second discs so as to form a disc smoothener on at least one of the inside surfaces of the first and second discs. A generally cone-shaped apparatus may be attached to the respective outer edges of the first and/or second discs to further smooth the feed slurry so as to produce circumferential flow uniformity of the feed slurry entering the pool of a decanter centrifuge or impinging upon the basket of a pusher centrifuge.
