DRIVE DEVICE IN A HELICAL CONVEYOR CENTRIFUGE

摘要

The drive device is used for a helical conveyor centrifuge having a revolving barrel (12) and a screw (16) mounted coaxially therein, and also having a drive motor (18) associated with the barrel (12) and a screw motor (28) that is coupled to the screw shaft (38) via a gear mechanism (36), the housing (40) of which is non-rotatably connected to the barrel drive shaft (24). According to the invention, the housing (40) of the gear mechanism (36) for driving the screw (16) is rotatably mounted in a stationary housing (44) and has a hollow output shaft (50) that is connected via a coupling (52) to the hollow barrel drive shaft (24).
