PRECIPITATION CENTRIFUGE Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: food-processing industry, wine making, food-canning industry. SUBSTANCE: precipitation centrifuge has housing, cylindric-conical rotor mounted in it, cylindric-conical worm disposed inside it whose drum has windows for passing initial suspension into cone-shaped part of rotor, feeding pipe and means for feeding flocculation accelerator. These means have chamber disposed in housing and filled with liquid carbonic acid used as flocculation accelerator, its source placed outside the housing and switched on to chamber and shell with holes located in the chamber in zone of contact with rotor. Chamber length makes up 2/3 of length of cylindrical part of rotor and its wall in chamber zone has holes. Rotor and shell holes are made along coaxial circumferences in one plane so that only one hole of rotor and shell is placed on one radius, other holes on different radii from axis of rotor rotation. Centrifuge is used for processing grape wort or wine material. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency. 2 dwg
