CENTRIFUGAL SEPARATOR Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: beneficiation of mineral resources. SUBSTANCE: centrifugal separator has conical cup with rotation drive put on shaft, loading branch pipe and fixture preparing pulp for separation on inner surface of rotating cup manufactured in the form of calotte. Height of calotte and base are found from expression , where h is height of calotte, m; r is radius of base of calotte, m; R is radius of calotte, m; H is height of conical cup, m; α is inclination angle of generating line of conical cup to vertical plane, degrees; ρ₁ is density of light fraction, kg/cu m; ρ₂ is density of heavy fraction, kg/cu m; k is reduction coefficient with value from 0.1 to 1.0. EFFECT: increased efficiency of separation of grainy suspensions by density. 1 dwg, 1 tbl
