A continuous centrifuge ( 10 ) has a basket ( 30 ) with upper and lower basket portions ( 43, 44 ) separated by an intermediate slip portion ( 45 ). The lower basket portion ( 43 ) has an included angle of 40-50°, to separate "green" molasses from the sugar crystals, while the upper basket portion ( 44 ) has an included angle of 50-60°, to separate washed molasses from the sugar crystals. The inner faces of the walls of the basket portions ( 43, 44 ) have radial drainage grooves ( 46 ), closed at their lower ends and opens at their upper ends, to discharge the molasses. |
