CENTRIFUGE FOR SEPARATING MOLTEN METALS SLAG ETC.

摘要

A mechanism for the centrifugal separation of mixtures of molten metals and slag, including a rotary housing supported at its upper end by a gimbal ring mounted in an annular ball bearing assembly with the housing including an annular outer wall having an upwardly extending neck connected to the gimbal ring with a rotational drive thereon, an insert sleeve concentric with the outer wall and having a mineral wool insulation therebetween and an inner casing within the sleeve with an inlet opening at the upper end of the inner casing and discharge openings at the lower end of the inner casing with spacers between the casing and sleeve and mountings between the outer wall and sleeve providing for quick disconnection and axial removal of the sleeve and casing from the outer wall, and with a concentrically mounted heater extending upwardly through outlet openings in the base of the inner casing.
