CONTINUOUS CENTRIFUGE

摘要

A centrifuge (1) for continuously separating a fluid stream into fractions of different density comprising: conduit means (17) for radially directing flow of the fluid stream, drive means (19, 22) for rotating the conduit means about an axis (19) whereby to subject the fluid stream to centrifugal force causing it to travel from a location in the conduit means nearer to the axis to a position further away from the axis, and a plurality of conduit outlets (35, 36, 37) from the conduit means arranged at different radial distances from the axis for taking off fractions of different density from the fluid stream.
