PUSHER CENTRIFUGES FOR VERY ABRASIVE PRODUCTS AND INTENSIVE WASHING PROCESSES.

Experimental results are presented about the wear resistance of various materials for component parts an linings in centrifuges. With increased centrifugal force lower residual humidities or higher discharge outputs can be brought about without impairing the separation effect. Although such increases in centrifugal force are limited by the design and tensile strength of the basket or of the whole rotor, centrifugal accelerations can now be achieved by the use of new materials and methods.
