... [A] unit [which] consists of a rotating solid bowl in the shape of a cylinder with a cone section on one end, and an interior rotating screw conveyer. Feed slurry, entering from the center, is held against the bowl wall by centrifugal force. Settled solids are moved by the conveyer to one end of the bowl while clarified effluent discharges at the other end. 1, record 1, English, - solid%20bowl%20centrifuge

Les machines les plus utilisées sur les boues résiduaires de traitement d'eau sont les décanteuses continues à axe horizontal. Dans ces décanteuses l'alimentation ainsi que l'évacuation du centrat et du sédiment sont continues. Elles comportent essentiellement un bol cylindro-conique ou conique à axe horizontal tournant à grande vitesse à l'intérieur duquel tourne, à une vitesse légèrement différente, une vis hélicoïdale d'extraction. 1, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9canteuse%20continue%20%C3%A0%20axe%20horizontal

Centrifuge that has a tubular section bowl in order to obtain a sufficient length of flow path, and solids are deposited onto the bowl; thus as centrifugation continues the effective bowl diameter, and hence the centrifugal force, are reduced. However, such a centrifuge is easily cleaned, and by using a bowl liner which can be withdrawn, the recovery of deposited material is virtually 100%. Likewise reassembly is a quick and simple procedure. 1, record 4, English, - hollow%20bowl%20centrifuge

Les centrifugeuses à bol tubulaire fonctionnent de façon discontinue. Nécessitant le démontage du bol pour l'évacuation de la phase solide, elles sont particulièrement adaptées à la séparation de deux phases liquides, ou à la clarification d'une phase liquide peu chargée en particules. Elles trouvent des applications dans le raffinage de l'huile végétale (séparation des savons), et dans la clarification des liquides (industrie pharmaceutique, chimique et alimentaire). 1, record 4, French, - centrifugeuse%20%C3%A0%20bol%20tubulaire
