    摘要: A centrifuge, including: a flange closing off one axial end of a separation chamber; a plurality of apertures that traverse axially through the flange at a radial distance from a flange axis, wherein at least one aperture is in fluid communication with a first outlet passage; a plurality of weir inserts removably disposed within the plurality of apertures to control a flow of one or more fluids from the separation chamber; wherein at least one weir insert disposed within the at least one aperture in fluid communication with the first outlet passage is changeable to prevent or allow fluid communication between the separation chamber and the first outlet passage.

    摘要: A centrifugal separator for cleaning a gas containing liquid impurities includes a stationary casing including a surrounding sidewall, a first end wall and a second end wall which enclose a space through which a gas flow is permitted. The space includes an upper separation chamber and a lower discharge chamber. The separator further includes an inlet extending through the stationary casing and permitting supply of the gas to be cleaned to the separation chamber, a rotating member including a stack of separation discs and being arranged to rotate around an axis of rotation, wherein the stack of separation discs is arranged in the separation chamber and a drive member for rotating the rotating member. The discharge chamber is arranged axially below the stack of separation discs such that clean gas and separated liquid impurities both enter said discharge chamber after being separated in said stack of separation discs, and further, the separator includes a gas outlet configured to permit discharge of cleaned gas from said stationary casing, wherein the gas outlet includes an outlet opening through the stationary casing and a portion extending from the outlet opening into the discharge chamber. Further, there is a drainage outlet arranged in said discharge chamber and configured to permit discharge of separated liquid impurities from said stationary casing.

    摘要: A separator for the centrifugal processing of a flowable product includes a rotatable drum with a vertical rotation axis. The rotatable drum borders a centrifuge chamber and includes a clarifying arrangement in the drum for clarifying the product to be processed in the centrifugal field. The drum has a separating plane between a drum top part and a drum bottom part. A supply system and the drain system are designed on the drum. The separator also includes a housing in which the drum is arranged, the housing having floor part and a housing shell part connectable to the floor part. A separating plane is likewise designed between the floor part and the housing shell part of the housing. The two separating planes are aligned with each other or there is an offset of less than 250 mm between the two separating planes.
