Definitions

  • the invention relates to equipment for separating liquids and solids in centrifuges, in particular plate separators with automatic discharge.
  • the invention relates to a paste deflection ring with an annular baffle for a self-discharging centrifuge and the self-discharging centrifuge.
  • Disc separators are centrifuges equipped with a central inlet for the suspension and conical plates in the drum, which serve as separators for fine particles due to the centrifugal force and the short sedimentation paths.
  • the separated particles slide along the plates into the solids collection space towards the largest diameter of the drum.
  • the clarified liquid is depressurized via an overflow weir or by means of a so-called pump impeller. Gripper removed under pressure.
  • plate separators with a closed drum are used, which have to be cleared by hand.
  • the drums are equipped with an emptying system, which allows the entire contents of the drum to be discharged with solid and liquid as sludge.
  • Plate separators with a standing or hanging drum are known.
  • the centrifuge container is cylindrical in the area of the centrifugal zone of the drum.
  • the paste is discharged under centrifugal acceleration in a horizontal direction on a circular circumference and could be collected in an annular container.
  • the invention relates to a device consisting of a paste deflection ring and a paste container which is connected or detachable and which is capable of receiving the paste from several drum empties.
  • This ring is designed so that a redirection is associated with the lowest possible product losses.
  • the invention relates to a paste deflection ring with an annular baffle for a self-discharging centrifuge, characterized in that the angle of attack ⁇ of the tangents of the baffle of the deflection ring opposite the discharge slot of the centrifuge to the horizontal over the entire opening width of the discharge slot is preferred from 3 to 60 ° Is 10 to 30 °.
  • a special deflection ring is characterized in that the inner contour of the baffle wall is circular or parabolic in shape directly below the impact surface, in particular seen over any longitudinal section of the deflection ring.
  • the deflection ring is designed such that the baffle in the
  • Area below the discharge slot has a curved inner contour seen in the geometric longitudinal section with a radius of curvature of> 20 mm, preferably from 30 to 50 mm.
  • the latter curved wall surface can also correspond to a curve with the
  • the baffle wall of the deflection ring has an angle of attack ⁇ to the horizontal of 3 to 30 °, preferably 5 to 15 °, in the region above the opening width of the discharge slot.
  • a preferred variant of the deflecting ring is characterized in that the tangent of the inner contour of the impact surface in the region below the deflecting contour of the deflecting ring has an angle of attack of ⁇ to 30 °, preferably 5 to 15 °, with respect to the vertical in geometrical longitudinal section.
  • the vertical is parallel to the axis of rotation of the drum.
  • the deflection ring has a tear-off edge at its lower end, which is optionally undercut.
  • the deflecting ring is in particular connected in one piece to a collecting container or particularly preferably in a separable manner to the collecting container of the centrifuge.
  • the deflection ring is designed with jacket cooling.
  • the cooling jacket is e.g. a double wall on the outer circumference of the deflection ring, which can be flowed through by a heat exchange medium.
  • the surface of the deflection ring in contact with the product is provided with a lubricious coating, in particular made of PTFE or metal alloys.
  • the deflection ring has one or more nozzles for spraying in liquid nitrogen.
  • Impact surface which corresponds to the opening width of the discharge slot, is distributed.
  • the invention also relates to a self-discharging centrifuge for the processing of highly concentrated pastes, at least consisting of an optionally coolable housing, a feed line for the suspension, a discharge line for the clarified liquid, a hanging drum connected to the overhead drive part with two or more discharge slots, an optionally removable container and a discharge device for the paste, characterized in that the centrifuge has a deflection ring according to the invention.
  • the collecting container is preferably configured conically narrowing downwards or downwards.
  • the conical narrowing of the collecting container facilitates the discharge of e.g. frozen product from the container.
  • the upper edge of the container is in particular designed in such a way that a flow with little swirling occurs below the tear-off edge of the deflection ring which is preferably attached.
  • the product-contacting inner surfaces of the collecting container are also provided in a preferred embodiment with a lubricious coating, in particular made of PTFE or metal alloys.
  • a bag made of flexible material is particularly preferably inserted into the collecting container and can be fixed to the container walls in particular by means of negative pressure.
