<p>Prior centrifugal concentrators for separating higher density particles from a slurry have not combined effective separation of concentrate with continuous discharge of the concentrate. The present invention provides a continuous discharge centrifugal concentrator having a retention zone (B) for accumulating the concentrate in which a plurality of mass-flow hoppers (35) are provided at the retention zone, with flow control devices (37) to control the discharge of concentrate from the hoppers.</p> |
