A screen bowl centrifuge having first and second conically diverging screen sections. And a method of separating solids from liquid of a slurry includes feeding a slurry from a conveyor hub to a cylindrical section of a bowl extending about the conveyor hub; scrolling the solids along the cylindrical section in a first direction and a majority of the liquid in a second direction opposite the first direction using at least one helical blade extending from the conveyor hub; and sliding the solids from the cylindrical section along a conically diverging screen section of the bowl that includes a first conically diverging section and a second conically diverging section, the first conically diverging section extending at a first angle to the axis and the second conically diverging section extends at a second angle to the axis, and the first angle is different from the second angle. |
