- a further object of the invention is to design a very practical machine of the type described in which there is a re-location of the solid particles between stages of centrifugation, thus mixing the relatively wet crystals adjacent the pre-draining screen with the drier crystals outward thereof when the mixture passes from the predraining screen to the basket.
- a further object of the invention is to provide a machine in which the funnel for gradually accelerating the mixture to the speed at which the basket is rotated also Serves as a pre-draining member, and means is provided for channeling the pre-drained liquid to the opposite side of the pusher.

- This pressure iluid is supplied from a reservoir 62 (see Fig. 3) through lines 63 and 63a fby the pump 64 which forces the iluid through a multiple-way valve 65 and thence into the collection chamber 66 in the collector C.
- the iluid could return through the line 96 which will later be discussed.
- the valve 65 (see Fig. 4) is formed with an interior cylinder 69 in which is a slide 70 having lands 71, 71a, 72, and 73. Passages 74, 75, 76, 76a and 77 which communicate with the lines ⁇ 63, 63a, 68h, 68a and 68, respectively, lead into the cylinder as shown, and in the position in which the valve is depicted the lines 63 and 63a and 68 and 68a are clearly in communication, and the piston 20 is accordingly moved forwardly.
- the position of the member 70 is controlled by another multiple-way valve 78 which has a slide 79 in the cylinder 80 formed therein.
- the one end of the slide 79 which has interior lands 81 and ⁇ 82 extends from the valve housing and has spacedapart flanges 84 thereon.
- a pin 85 lixed on the shaft 22 and movable in a slot 85a in the shaft 14 has an annular ring 85h disposed between these flanges 84 and clearly as the piston 20 moves forwardly, will tend to force the slide 79 to the right.
- the slide 79 has been moved to the right to open up the passage 487 and line 911 to the passage 881 and line 93 and to permit the line 94 to exhaust to the passage ⁇ 86 which leads through the line 90 to the reservoir 62.
- pressure fluid is forced through the line 91 to move the slide 70 to the right and open up the passage 77 and line 68 above the valve 65 to the passage 74 and line 63 below the valve.
- the line 63a will now exhaust to the line ⁇ 68b as the piston 20 moves rearwardly. Since the line 96 leading to the reservoir 62 is always open to the line 68, the oil forced through the line 68 will take the path of least resistance (the line 96) back to the reservoir 62 and will not force the piston 20 rearwardly.
- a system such as described wherein the return travel of the piston 20 depends on the rate at which slurry is fed into the system through the pipe 39 and the rate at which the cake builds is superior in a great many respects to conventional machines.
- rates of feed are often very different and the machine can operate very ly at both low and high rates of feed.
- the cake will be permitted time to build up to the leveling ring 35a so that it will have a maximum retention time on the screen 30.
- the Wash hose S2 delivers a prescribed spray of water to the mixture on the screen 41 which is insuicient to ood the retained solids such that diiculty will be encountered in pushing them when they reach the screen.
- the solids reach the latter screen 30, there is, of course, a relocation of the solid particles as they pass from the screen 41 and the hose 54 thence completes the Washing operation.
- the portion 49a of the bathe 49 catches and deflects the relatively dry particles inwardly to the channel l50 so that they pass through and become thoroughly intermixed with the wetter particles.

' CENTRIFUGAL MACHINE Filed Deo. 15, 1954 v f 2 sheets-sheet 2 nited States Patent O CENTRIFUGAL MACHINE Henry Francis Irving, Saginaw, Mich., assigner to Baker Perkins, Inc., Saginaw, Mich.
Application December 13, 1954, Serial No. 474,940 1'2 Claims. (Cl. 21o-3716) This invention relates to new and useful improvements in centrifugal separating machines and more particularly to continuously operable machines of this type which are well-suited to separating a variety of granular, brous, or crystaline solids from liquid mixtures containing the same.
Continuously operating push-type, single stage centrifuges have long been employed for effecting the separation of liquid and solids and are relatively well known. However, it is an object of the instant invention to provide a machine of this type which is particularly welladapted to separating sugar crystals `from a slurry or mixture comprising the crystals and syrup or mother liquor although having a general adaptability for other purposes. Since the syrup in the sugar slurry or massecuite is relatively viscous, many push-type single stage centrifuges which have been used to separate mixtures of this type have employed longer baskets or screens so that the caked solids can be retained until they acquire the required degree of dryness.
Another factor influencing the length of the basket employed is Athe washing operation which is desirably carried on during the centrifugation process to rid the caked crystalline particles of ash or impurities. Actually, it is desirable to restrict the length of the basket, for when the length of the cake is increased, the pusher must develop a greater force to discharge it from the basket, which force will tend to compact and subdivide the individual crystals and also tend to buckle the cake. Clearly, if a pre-removal of the greater proportion of the mother liquor can be effected prior to the time the slurry reaches the basket and a portion of the washing operation can be performed during this pre-removal of the liquid, a shorter basket may be employed and less force will be required to discharge the cake. While machines of this type have accomplished such a pre-draining operation, no one has previously designed a machine in which the pre-draining and basket screens may be compactly disposed in concentric relation without sacrificing any of the effectiveness of the pre-draining operation.
Accordingly, one of the prime objects of the instant invention is to design a centrifuge of the continuously operable, so-called pusher type ywhich incorporates means for pre-draining a maximum portion of the liquid from the solids prior to the time the mixture is passed to the basket and yet is no less compact than machines in which no pre-draining operation is carried out. Such a machine will charge to the basket solids which immediately form a firm cake that can be readily pushed without humping or stratifying and without imposing variable loads on the basket.
Another object of the invention is to provide a very practical machine of the type described in which a portion of the washing operation can be carried out during the pre-draining stage of centrifugation.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a pusher type centrifuge of simple and practical design in which impurities in the mixture which are present.V
Fr* 1C@ largely in the mother liquor are largely eliminated prior to the time the mixture is charged to the basket.
Another object of the invention is to design a m-achine of this type in which means is provided for mixing the relatively wet strata of caked solid directly adjacent the basket with the drier solids above it as the cake is discharged so that lumps or masses of sticky crystals which build up and break oif will not form on the dry housing wall adjacent the basket.
A further object of the invention is to design a very practical machine of the type described in which there is a re-location of the solid particles between stages of centrifugation, thus mixing the relatively wet crystals adjacent the pre-draining screen with the drier crystals outward thereof when the mixture passes from the predraining screen to the basket.
A further object of the invention is to provide a machine in which the funnel for gradually accelerating the mixture to the speed at which the basket is rotated also Serves as a pre-draining member, and means is provided for channeling the pre-drained liquid to the opposite side of the pusher.
A further object of the invention is to design a machine in which the pusher is retracted by the pressure of the material itself in accordance with the rate of feed of the massecuite and at the speed which the cake builds so that working of the solid particles and crystal breakdown is reduced to a minimum and the number of strokes per given unit of time taken by the pusher and the cake thickness is in direct ratio to the rate of feed and can be controlled thereby.
A still further object of the invention is to design a centrifugal machine of the type described which is durable and rugged in construction, which comprises relatively few component parts of la simple nature which are readily accessible for cleaning and inspection, which may be easily and simply disassembled for repair and replacement of parts, and will accordingly be relatively inexpensive to maintain and which can be economically manufactured and assembled.
With the above and other objects in view, the present invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts, hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the appended claims, it being understood that equivalent changes may be made in the various elements of the invention, without departing lfrom the spirit of the invention or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof.
In the drawings:
Fig. l is a part sectional, side elevational view of my novel centrifuge showing the pusher in forward position..
Fig. 2 is an enlarged, fragmentary, sectional view thereof, the pusher being shown in rearward position. Fig. 3 illustrates schematically the manner in which the pusher is actuated forwardly by a hydraulic pump and is permitted to return under pressure of the material feeding into the basket.
Fig. 4 is a sectional view illustrating schematically one of the multiple way valves which is employed in the system.
Fig. 5 is a sectional view illustrating schematically another valve which is employed in the system to control the valve shown in Fig. 4.
Fig. 6 is an enlarged, fragmentary View showing the material forcing the pusher rearwardly.
Fig. 7 is anenlarged, fragmentary view showing the circumferentially spaced lugs which connect the interchine comprises a base 10 with a drive housing 11 supporting bearings 12 and 13 in which a tubular drive shaft 14 is journaled. A drive sheave 15 mounted on the reduced end 14a of the shaft 14 is connected by belts 16 to the shaft4 of a motor 17 which'is adapted to drive the shaft at relatively high speeds. r j i Formed as an integral portion of the shaft 14 is a pressure iluid cylinder 18, the two portions of which may be bolted together as at 19. A piston 20 keyed in the cylinder as at 21 so as to rotate therewith, is provided in the cylinder 18, and is reciprocated in the cylinder in a manner which will be later described. A pusher control assembly C of conventional design is provided to control the forward operation of the piston 20 and the piston rod or shaft 22 is transversely bored as at 23 and longitudinally bored as at 2.4 tov admit pressure fluid from the assembly C to the outer face of the piston 20 so as to drive the latter forwardly to the position in which it is shown in Fig. l. Provided in the shaft 14 and cornmuriicating with the passage 23 when the piston is in rearward position is a port 23a leading to the control assemblyY C. Further, the internal diameter of the' shaft 14 is enlarged as at 25 to transmit iluid to the control assembly C through the transverse passage 25a when the piston is moved forwardly and to admit iluid to the front face of the piston when it is returned to original position by the pressure of the material feeding into the basket as will later be described. A positive displacement constant delivery plump 64 (Fig. 3) supplies the pusher control assembly in a manner which will later become apparent.
The tubular shaft 14 extends from the drive housing 11 into a wet housing 26 which is bolted to the housing 11 and a drum or basket B is keyed thereon as at 27, the basket B comprising a radial end wal-l or hub 28 with a perforated cage 29 having a screen 38 supported therein. A frusto-conical pusher wall 31 is keyed as at 32 to the tapering end of the shaft 22 which extends into the wet housing 26 beyond the shaft 14, and a nut 33 threaded on the end of the shaft 22 maintains the wall 31 in position. The wall 31 `has a laterally turned llange 31a which is recessed as at 31b to receive a scraper ring 34. Additionally, an acceleratingr funnel or distributor member 35 having a laterally turned flange 35a is supported a spaced distance from the portion 31a of the wall 31 on circumferentially spaced, integral lugs or bosses 36 formed on the llang'e 31a so as to form passages 37 between the ilanges 31a and 35a leading to the screen 30. The funnel 35, it will be observed, is concentric with the screen 30 and is substantially co-extensive therewith. The annular llange portion 35a of the funnel 35 terminates a spaced distance from the basket 38 and serves as a leveling ring.
The outer end wall of the funnel 35 is bored as at 38 to freely admit the slurry supply pipe 39 and the interior wall thereof is recessed as at 40 to carry a pair of superposed frusto-conical screens 41 and 42, the top screen 41 being a woven screen and the under screen 42 which supports the screen 41 being a mesh screen. Connecting with the inner edge of the recess 40` are angular passages 43 which lead through the flange 35a of the funnel and communicate with the passages 44 through the flange 31a of the pusher wall 31. When the wall 31 is in rearmost position as shown in Fig. 2, it is spaced from the hub 28 of the basket to form a chamber 45, and liquid proceeding through the passages 44 will pass to the wet housing 26 through the circumferentially spaced ports 45a in the basket B immediately adjacent thel wall 2S when the piston 20 is in its rear position las Well as when itis in its forward position.
The outer end wall of the wet housing 26 terminates short of the basket B and `a throw-*olf ring 46 including an outwardly tapered flange 46a extending into a dry housing 47 is provided on the outer end of the basket B. Supported outwardly of the flange 46a to rotate with the basket B is a frustoeconical baille member 49 which includes a lateral flange 49a projecting radially inwardly beyond the screen 30 to channel the solids discharged down to the passage 50 defined between the rearwardly and inwardly extending portion of the baille 49 and the ring 46. The baille portion 49 is secured to the base of the member 46 by widely spaced lugs 48 which also support a forwardly and outwardly extending frusto-conical baffle member 51 which directs the llow of solids from the annular passage 50 to the dry housing proper. The batlles 49 and 51 effect a thorough inter-mixture of the relatively wet solid particles immediately adjacent the screen and the relatively drier particles inward thereof in a manner which will be later described. The particles which were disposed in the caked mass immediately adjacent the screen may have a residual liquid content of from 4% to 6% by weight, and this is what is meant by the term relatively wet as used in the specification and claims. The liquid content of the solid particles in the cake which are -located radially inward of these particles will be 1% to 2% by weight and these particles will be accordingly termed relatively dry.
The mixture may be `washed in the pre-draining stage of centrifugation by the laterally directed spray from a hose 52 which enters the stationary supply pipe 39 through a seal 53 and has a nozzle 52a on the end thereof for directing the wash liquid to the solids on the sides of the funnel 35. The spray from a second wash hose 54 can be directed to the material on the inner portion of the screen 3G to remove any remaining impurities. Partitions 55, 56, and 57 separate the wet housing 26 into compartments 58, 59 and 60 which can be drained olf separately through the discharge pipes 61 and, as will be apparent, the so-called green and wash liquids may be segregated in this manner. A conveyor (not shown) may be provided in the lower portion of the dry housing to carry olf the dried and intermixcd crystals.
The pusher wall 31 is shown in rearward position in Fig. 2, and it will be clear that this wall is moved forwardly to the position in which it appears in Fig. l when pressure iluid reaches the rear face of the piston 20 through the ports 23a, 23, and 24, and exhausts from the front of the piston through the passages 25 and 25a. This pressure iluid is supplied from a reservoir 62 (see Fig. 3) through lines 63 and 63a fby the pump 64 which forces the iluid through a multiple-way valve 65 and thence into the collection chamber 66 in the collector C. The iluid which is forced out of the cylinder 18 when the piston 20 moves forwardly moves through the passages 25 and 25a into the collection chamber 67 in the collector C, thence through a line 68, back to the valve 65, and finally into a line 68a which leads to the reservoir 62. Alternatively, the iluid could return through the line 96 which will later be discussed.
The valve 65 (see Fig. 4) is formed with an interior cylinder 69 in which is a slide 70 having lands 71, 71a, 72, and 73. Passages 74, 75, 76, 76a and 77 which communicate with the lines `63, 63a, 68h, 68a and 68, respectively, lead into the cylinder as shown, and in the position in which the valve is depicted the lines 63 and 63a and 68 and 68a are clearly in communication, and the piston 20 is accordingly moved forwardly. The position of the member 70 is controlled by another multiple-way valve 78 which has a slide 79 in the cylinder 80 formed therein. The one end of the slide 79 which has interior lands 81 and `82 extends from the valve housing and has spacedapart flanges 84 thereon. A pin 85 lixed on the shaft 22 and movable in a slot 85a in the shaft 14 has an annular ring 85h disposed between these flanges 84 and clearly as the piston 20 moves forwardly, will tend to force the slide 79 to the right.
Inroperation, the sugar slurry or massecuite reaches the interior of the basket through the stationary pipe 39 and funnel 35 which gradually accelerates the mixture prior to discharging it through the passages '37 to the screen 30. rlfhe greater proportion of mother liquor is drained off to the Wet housing 26 through the screens y41 and 42 prior to the time the mixture reaches the screen 30 and a portion of the washing operation to remove impurities not carried olf with the mother liquor can also be carried out during this pre-draining operation. Liquid pre-drained through the screen 41 travels rearwardly through the meshes of the screen 42 which is within the recess 40 and thence proceeds through the passages 43 and 44 to the chamber 45 rearwardly of the pusher wall 31. Ports 45a as previously noted, drain the space 45 to the chamber 58 in the wet housing 26. The Wash hose S2 delivers a prescribed spray of water to the mixture on the screen 41 which is insuicient to ood the retained solids such that diiculty will be encountered in pushing them when they reach the screen. When the solids reach the latter screen 30, there is, of course, a relocation of the solid particles as they pass from the screen 41 and the hose 54 thence completes the Washing operation.
When the solids are discharged from the outer end of the screen 30 by the pusher wall 31, the relatively drier particles which were located in the cake substantially inward of the screen tend to be fanned outwardly, while particles immediately adjacent the screen which are relatively wet will not necessarily be perceptibly thrown axially outward of the screen and in conventional machines would leave the flange l46a of the ring 46 in substantially a radial path. These relatively wet and sticky crystals tend to collect and in many instances will adhere and build up on the partitioning wall separating the wet and dry housings before breaking off in relatively large pieces. Since this deposition is unsightly and the collections of sticky crystals are undesirable in the finished product, I have found it practical to intermix the relatively wet and relatively drier particles. The portion 49a of the bathe 49 catches and deflects the relatively dry particles inwardly to the channel l50 so that they pass through and become thoroughly intermixed with the wetter particles. The.. resulting intermixture will not collect on the partitioning wall referred to and will provide a uniform product.
It should be apparent that I have perfected a very efcient centrifugal machine which is compact in design and permits ready access to its various elements for cleaning and inspection purposes.
v kIt is to be understood that the foregoing drawing and description thereof is in all cases to be taken as merely illustrative of the invention rather than as limiting the scope thereof and for a determination of the scope of the invention attention is directed to the appended claims.
