Imperforate bowl: centrifugal separators inventions 10/06

20060240963 - Fixing device for a centrifuge rotor cover: The present invention relates to a fixing device of a cover for a centrifuge rotor, a receiving chamber of the centrifuge rotor, which is driven using a drive unit, for receiving samples to be centrifuged being closable aerosol-fight using the cover. The fixing device is provided with an opening so...

20060240964 - Method and apparatus for separation of particles suspended in a fluid: For an effective separation of more than one kind of particle from a mixture, a plurality of separation stages are provided, arranged in series. Mixer elements may be disposed along the flow path to disturb the sedimenting particles, to release entrained lighter particles. Further, the separation channel may widen near...

20060240965 - Hero-turbine centrifuge with flow-isolated collection chamber: A centrifuge for the separation of particulate matter from a volume of fluid includes an outer housing, a rotational member extending through the outer housing, and a rotor assembled onto the rotational member for rotation relative to the rotational member and relative to the housing. The centrifuge is constructed and...

20060240966 - Centrifuge with shaping of feed chamber to reduce wear: A centrifuge of the type having an outer bowl and an inner rotor both of which are generally cylindrical and rotate in the same direction but at slightly different rates separates slurry fed into the interior of the rotor into solids and liquid. An auger flight on the outside surface...

20060229185 - Centrifuge rotor-detection oil-shutoff device: A centrifuge includes a housing that defines a fluid inlet port to supply fluid to the centrifuge and an axle cavity fluidly coupled to the fluid inlet port. A bearing is received in the axle cavity. A check valve is disposed in the axle cavity to minimize tampering, and the...
