Self-emptying centrifuge with reduced rotational distortion - has mantle and base arranged to create two mantle segments with mechanical moments equal at their junction

摘要

In a self-emptying centrifuge the cylindrical mantle and base form a single unit. The novelty is that the mantle and base are arranged to create two mantle segments. The segments extend upwards and downwards from the point where they join such that the mechanical moments are equal at the junction of the two segments. USE/ADVANTAGE - The centrifuge is better balanced, can run faster and is thus more productive. The upper part of the centrifuge in partic. is less subjected to physical distortions which reduce the max. permissible speed of rotation.
