Abstract (en)

[origin: CA2868195A1] The solid bowl screw-type centrifuge is used to continually separate a composition of free-flowing substances with different densities. The solid bowl screw-type centrifuge has a rotor drum (12), rotatable about a horizontal axis (16), with a cylindrical drum section (18) and a conical drum section (20), and a conveying screw (22) mounted therein, rotating about the same axis (16), with a helical vane (26) attached to a hollow shaft (24) for transporting the heavy phase to discharge openings (28) in the conical drum section (20). On a front wall (40) closing the cylindrical drum section (18), at least one outflow opening (62) for the light phase is provided with a device for setting the fluid level. According to the invention, the device for setting the fluid level consists of a control element (42) with means for braking or accelerating the fluid particles of the light phase, said control element being rotatively driven at a speed different to the drum speed and releasing a flow through an annular clearance (60) to the inner wall (58) of the drum.
