The imperforate conical basket of a centrifugal separator carries a conical, mainly imperforate skirt which depends from the upper basket rim into the liquid receptacle bounded by the basket and by a stationary partition in the separator casing. The liquid flowing upwardly between the inner basket wall and a screen enters recesses at the top of the basket at least partly bounded by the skirt and is led to the inner skirt face. It is discharged centrifugally from the free lower edge of the skirt against a conical baffle attached to the partition and downwardly bounding an isolating chamber radially confined between the outer skirt face and the partition. Contamination of the discharged liquid with simultaneously discharged solids is prevented, air cannot carry the discharged liquid into the separated solids nor vice versa. |
