Centrifugal separator with flexibly suspended restrainable bowl

摘要

A centrifuge separator system includes a centrifuge bowl for receiving the feed to be separated; a flexible suspension for rotatably, flexibly supporting the bowl; and a retractable restrainer device for constraining the bowl during scraping action of a scraper blade to remove solids from the bowl. Alternatively, the bowl could be radially and rotationally constrained and the scraper rotated to remove solids from the bowl.
