Abstract

The invention relates to a centrifuge cartridge (1) for a centrifuge (2) for the separation of a mixture (3) into a solid cake (4) and into a liquid phase 5), with the centrifuge cartridge (1) being rotatably supported around an axis of rotation (6) of the centrifuge (2) in the installed state. The centrifuge cartridge (1) is releasably installed in the centrifuge (2), in particular in a centrifuge drum (21) of the centrifuge (2).

Claims

1. A centrifuge cartridge for a centrifuge (2) for the separation of a mixture (3) into a solid cake (4) and into a liquid phase (5), wherein the centrifuge cartridge (1) is rotatably supported around an axis of rotation (6) of the centrifuge (2) in the installed state, characterised in that the centrifuge cartridge (1) can be releasably installed in the centrifuge (2), in particular in a centrifuge drum (21) of the centrifuge (2).

2. A centrifuge cartridge in accordance with claim 1, wherein the centrifuge cartridge (1) includes a drum jacket (101), in particular a self-supporting drum jacket and/or a non-self-supporting drum jacket (101).

3. A centrifuge cartridge in accordance with claim 1, wherein the centrifuge cartridge (1) is a sub-cartridge (100).

4. A centrifuge cartridge in accordance with claim 1, wherein at least two sedimentation chambers (7) are provided in the centrifuge cartridge (1) and are arranged axially sequentially with respect to the axis of rotation (6).

5. A centrifuge cartridge in accordance with claim 1, wherein the sedimentation chambers (7) are formed by a decanter weir (8), in particular by a decanter weir (8) with a drainage opening (81) and/or a drainage cut-out (82) to drain the liquid phase (5).

6. A centrifuge cartridge in accordance with claim 1, wherein the sedimentation chamber (7) is divided into at least two portioning chambers (9), with the sedimentation chamber (7) in particular being made in the form of a honeycomb structure.

7. A centrifuge cartridge in accordance with claim 1, wherein a decanter worm is provided to form the sedimentation chamber (7) and/or the portioning chamber (9).

8. A centrifuge cartridge in accordance with claim 1, wherein a first sedimentation chamber (71) is larger than a second sedimentation chamber (72) and/or a first portioning chamber (9) is larger than a second portioning chamber (9).

9. A centrifuge cartridge in accordance with claim 1, wherein a first radius (R1) of the first sedimentation chamber (71) is larger than a second radius (R2) of the second sedimentation chamber (72).

10. A centrifuge cartridge in accordance with claim 1, wherein a filter screen (10) is provided at the centrifuge cartridge (1) and/or at the sub-cartridge (100).

11. A centrifuge cartridge in accordance with claim 1, wherein the centrifuge cartridge (1) and/or the sub-cartridge (100) is/are manufactured of metal and/or of a plastic, in particular of an injection moulded plastic and/or of a composite material.

12. A centrifuge cartridge in accordance with claim 1, wherein an inner wall of the centrifuge cartridge (1) and/or of the sub-cartridge and/or of the centrifuge drum (21) is lined, is in particular lined with a plastic, specifically with a hygienic plastic.

13. A centrifuge cartridge in accordance with claim 1, wherein a means (12) for sealing is provided at a cartridge opening (11) of the centrifuge cartridge (1) and/or of the sub-cartridge (100);

and/or the centrifuge cartridge (1) and/or the sub-cartridge (100) is/are made as a sealable container (1, 100).

14. A centrifuge, in particular a horizontally or vertically supported centrifuge (2), a continuously or discontinuously operating centrifuge (2), specifically a tubular centrifuge (2), a scraper centrifuge (2), a decanting centrifuge (2), a slide centrifuge (2), a pusher centrifuge (2) or an oscillating centrifuge (2) having a centrifuge cartridge (1) in accordance with claim 1.
