<p>The disclosure describes an improvement in an apparatus for continuous separation of a solids-containing fluid into a vehicle fluid and a concentrated slurry of solids which includes a housing characterized by an interior surface and a longitudinal axis and having an inlet for introducing a solidscontaining fluid into the housing and an outlet for removing a concentrated slurry of solids therefrom. It also comprises at least two substantially parallel, coaxially disposed, spaced-apart annular elements mounted within the housing on the longitudinal axis thereof and established stationarily with respect thereto between the inlet and the outlet. A rotor shaft extends within the housing along the longitudinal axis thereof and passes coaxially through the annular elements in spaced diametral relation thereto leaving openings for fluid flow between the outer surface of the shaft and the inner circumferential surfaces of the annular elements, the shaft being rotatable with respect to the housing and the annular elements. The improvement to the apparatus comprises at least one stabilizing member secured to the inner circumferential surface of at least one of the annular elements and having a portion extending radially from said one element toward the rotor shaft, and the rotor shaft can receive said portion of the stabilizing member in a circular recess the generative center of which is on the longitudinal axis of the rotor shaft.</p> |
